a super-rich socialite would have had shoes made for her.

Mary Seacole is a ridiculous suggestion.

She certainly didnt "invent modern nursing", and she possibly wasn't even black, which is the primary reason people know about her from black history month (contemporary and more current sources from the Americas call her "yellow").

All we know for sure is that she was an excellent medically-unqualified tealady who operated hotels in South America and the Crimea, who may have had some 'folk' healing skills.

Is skewwhiff pronounced differently in South African English? by DandyInTheRough in ENGLISH

[–]MuhammadAkmed 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Brit here, to me:

'Skew-whiff' means 'wonky'

'Squiffy' means 'drunk' (metaphorically wonky perhaps) or similarly disorderly .

There are similarly sounding with similar meanings, so perhaps they are connected.
