词源

From a sketch on the British satire show The Frost Report in the 1960s, poking fun at the television broadcasting practice of displaying images on screen to accompany spoken monologues. In the sketch, the words Lord Privy Seal in a news report are illustrated with a photo of a lord, photo of an privy (outhouse), and photo of a seal (pinniped) balancing a ball on its nose.
