The expression “call a spade a spade” comes from the work of Plutarch, who originally wrote “call a fig a fig & a trough a trough.” Figs & troughs were crude slang for the Vulva, so what Plutarch meant was “call a c*nt a c*nt”. When Erasmus (1466-1536) translated Plutarch’s work & changed it to a garden spade to avoid embarrassment.

Ah fuck it, THREAD, I guess. I’ve tried to hold my tongue re: the lack of female guitar acts/female headliners/the “pipeline problem” at Glastonbury. But perhaps my experience is relevant. I am a female guitar act. I write big, singalong chorus songs that go great at festivals.1/
