A follow up to our discussion on man caves; one listener suggests we try to popularize the term “gentleman’s grotto.” This is part of a complete episode.
Transcript of “Gentleman’s Grotto”
Doug Paul from Madison, Wisconsin, wrote us in response to a conversation that you and I had, Grant, about the term man cave.
Man cave.
Remember when we talked about man caves and she sheds?
Well, Doug writes, I call mine a gentleman’s grotto.
Gentleman’s grotto.
Yes, please encourage your sophisticated listenership to spread the use of this replacement term.
I actually like that.
It sounds like you would have to wear a velvet smoking jacket.
Yes, and you should.
I’m going to retire to my gentleman’s grotto.
No canned beer allowed in the gentleman’s grotto.
That’s true.
I guess it would be a different kind of man cave.
It would be a subset of man caves, right?
