Black Adder is illogical

Or at least what he once said, sounds pretty illogical to me.

It must be one of those idiotic 'idioms' that people of this planet use all the time without stopping to think WHAT they are actually saying.

At one point, Baldrick hints that a nurse might be interested in Black Adder. Black Adder responds something about the nurse being very wet. 'No, Baldrick. She's as wet as a fish's wet bits'.

Now, if a woman is WET.. doesn't that usually mean she's actually horny? I mean, men get HARD, women get WET.

Or to put it more precisely, men's genitals have a portion that has an erection, making the 'manhood' of a man hard, when he gets sexually aroused.

In the same way, women's 'womanhood' gets lubricated by moisture, when the woman gets sexually aroused, so that the 'manhood' may more easily and conveniently slide in (and out) for easier mating and intercourse.

So, it doesn't make logical sense for Black Adder to say that a woman is WET, while meaning that she is actually DRY.

Wouldn't the word DRY serve much better anyway? I mean, that word usually would easily exemplify pretty much ANY 'robotic', 'nonsexual', 'nonliving', 'bureaucratic' individual? You could say that some politicians are very dry when they speak, because they don't dare say anything that might 'offend' someone.

But using a word like WET, when actually meaning a woman that's asexual, non-sexual, or completely uninterested in physical relations with a man - that just doesn't compute, unless it's some odd, british idiom.

American idioms are illogical and idiotic enough, but the british ones really .. hm .. take the cake? (Agh, another idiom!)

I suppose it comes from 'wet blanket' - but even then, it doesn't make much sense. HOW did the blanket get wet? We can all imagine very interesting, moist answers to that. Answers, that might even make a woman WET.

That idiom really doesn't make any sense, and thus, neither does Black Adder in this show.

If you want proof, just look at all the websites and ads talking about 'wet women', while also mentioning things like 'horny' and 'willing' and whatnot. Black Adder's statement just doesn't make sense - he's being very illogical indeed.
