Years ago I took the mick out of a high-end car advert which referred to a
"ridgid" cage to protect occupants. I suggested that it was a useful
portmanteau word covering rigidity produced from ridges, like the body-work
of French Citroen vans used in agricultural areas. New Scientist printed
this comment (that was where the advert appeared), referring only to my home
town, not my name!
