Well, why not?

There has been some discussion at the Mansion about the origin of the term Ms, the honorific used for ladies of uncertain marital status or stroppy disposition. I have always thought it should be used universally as it is clearly derived from ‘Mush’, the general honorific used in Hancock’s Half Hours, especially by the lad himself, as in: “Now, listen ’ere, Mush! Just how stupid do you think I am? No, don’t answer that.”
