Interestingly in Australia "Preen" is a spray used to apply starch to clothes

It _would_ take a bizarre race to admit to that association.

Just a thought - it could represent a _subtle_ attempt to intimidate us

No, we call it 'ironing', too.

Here in the Great White North we use both terms, "ironing" for when you do it
