[15]           A linguistic note: I find it interesting to note how human selfishness is reflected in our languages: the words for Mama and Papa derive from the sequences of sounds ma/, mama/ pa/, papa/, which are the first word-like sounds made by babbling babies.    

 

   Proud parents tend to associate these sounds with themselves.

​

   The exception, curiously, is the Japanese Mamma, which is altruistically interpreted to mean "food".

 

   Come to think of it, die-hard Feminists could use this example to demonstrate again, how women are being used and abused.
