Kumquat

Extrapolation

Choco used the word in his infrequent insults, such as in the following: "Kumquat-assed bitch!" This came from a strip during a storyline which ran from July 16 and August 10, 1982. Unusually dark and brooding, we saw Choco undergo a series of defeats and moral setbacks that led him briefly to alcohol and abusive behavior towards women. Fortunately, series creator Jonathan Trenchwheat put a stop to this downward spiral and Choco again became the sober and gentlemanly figure which has become so beloved in many parts of the civilized world.
