[charlie] As with ‘roger’, a phonic for the letter ‘c’ which means ‘yes’ from the Spanish ‘Si’. Phonics for the complete alphabet from ‘alpha’ to ‘zulu’ can be found by any search engine, ie ‘google’.

[seneschal] alias ‘roger’. More than you wish to know about the surname ‘ROGER’ can be found on my personal files server:
http://69.68.220.78/Seneschal_Roger.html .

My question is: Why did the English decide to use the word ‘Roger’ to represent ‘Seneschal’? And why is ‘Roger’ such a derogatory term in Britain? I suspect I know, and the above file may show, but others may find the thread interesting.

Quoting a correspondent, (paraphrased), “Scotland has been more than adequately Rogered already”.
