'course, I went home to me dad (on me pushbike) and said "dad, can I use the oilcan" "whaffor?" "I wanna oil me brakes, to stop 'em squeaking"...

I am reminded of the old joke about the man who couldn't tell the difference between K-Y jelly and putty.

All his windows fell out.

Aargh! That had whiskers on it!

I've looked into this. There is a website called

(!) there is an article on this. The theory that it is from the initials of Kentucky State (KY) because it's "finger-lickin' good" is dismissed.

Yup, sorry Austin - I knew you knew, but I didn't want people to think I didn't and had to be told.
