Hi Everyone, I'm new to this list, so I thought I'd begin with 
something minor and concrete, and hold off on the deep philosophy for 
a while.  

So... what in the name of a name is "Spotted Dick?"  And where did 
that name come from?  I'm guessing something like rice pudding with 
raisins?

I realize that English slang is different from American, it's only us 
Yanks that would make a connection to a localized male skin 
condition.  But in England, "spots" are pimples, so the mental 
imagery is still pretty gross.
