My latest column in the Malaysian Star has appeared: Sprogs in a Poop Factory. It's about the slang names we give children.

I thoroughly enjoyed this article. I love my two daughters, but am not a fan of children in general. Ankle-biters has always been one of my favorites (also used for small dogs.)

I loved that piece, too. Hadn't heard "porch monkeys." Nice.
Speaking of Poop Factories, I was delighted to see that the Atlanta Journal-Constitution chose for its book title of the year (even though the book's out of print): "Cooking with Pooh."

"Porch monkey" is far more often used as a racist term for a black person, so I'd avoid it.
