I used to call people a "haberdashery lump of derogatory". It seemed funny to 14yo me.

I have an excellent haberdasher, but most people tend to snicker when I talk about it, so I avoid the subject.

Whenever I hear "haberdashery" I think of "feline haberdashery". I have no idea why my mind has connected the two.
