It's quite possible that Wodehouse named him after some obscure British slang term of the time. Edwardian/Jazz Age slang is so gloriously bizarre - we're talking about an era that gave us the terms 'rannygazoo', 'bohunkus', and other such things, after all. And I could be wrong, but I thought 'tupping' referred to copulation in general, not with sheep in particular.
Founded by girl geeks and members of the slash fandom, scans_daily strives to provide an atmosphere which is LGBTQ-friendly, anti-racist, anti-ableist, woman-friendly and otherwise discrimination and harassment free.
Bottom line: If slash, feminism or anti-oppressive practice makes you react negatively, scans_daily is probably not for you.
