Carl-E:
I still think an old friend (of Henry's, probably) is a distinct possibility.
Probably the one who warned him against getting married in the first place...
sitnspin:
Personally, I love wearing a tie. I think they look cool. Then again, I am an androgynous mildly gender-bent lady so I have a slightly different perspective.
This "aunt" may well be a family friend (frienemy?) and not an actual relative. It is quite common for kids to grow up referring to such people as aunt/uncle. The toddler little sister of my deceased wife refers to me as her aunt, even though sister-in-law would be more accurate, even if the marriage wasn't legally recognized.
judemorrigan:
It's not just his taste in friends - it makes me think that Gordon knew what he was doing when he assigned Pintsize to Marten.
Merdrak:
New comic was awesome.. feels like how some of my friends and I greet each other on the daily. haha.
As for ties.. Half Windsor is about all I can tie, and the big bossman just decreed we're wearing Service Uniforms every Friday, so ... I gotta get used to tying 'em.

Hoho! I'd forgotten about that, well played! Though I do suspect a comparison of data would put an early appearance of the phrase in a Discworld book first, though I could be wrong.
