"Medieval Tournament: Making of a Knight" on Discovery Civilisation with Jared.

He's used to hearing the language of re-enactment, and is quite happy to call a woman "Mistress" or "Milady" or even "Your Grace" (if in the proper company). However, the slightly melodramatic voiceover kept referring to women as "damsels". Not such a problem when you hear correctly. However, Jared got very excited by the jousting and wasn't really listening properly. Now he keeps referring to "Damsons in distress".

Now *there's* a mental image! (I don't know about anyone else, but I'm seeing small round fruit in steeple hennin...)
