Is it worth buying specialist cycling shoes?

Would it be possible to have one thread on this forum that does not have the word "missus" in it? You're all at it at the moment. Who started this? Awful, awful word.

1582, abbreviation of mistress, originally in all uses of that word. The pl. Mmes. is an abbreviation of Fr. mesdames, pl. of madame. Pronunciation "missis" was considered vulgar at least into 18c. The Mrs. "one's wife" is from 1920.
