Graham Hall offers this delectable tidbit
>In the same publication, (p.31) Daniel Snowman, interviewing Lisa

I gather there is some British meaning to the concept "bunfight" that
eludes their American cousins. Or is there? As a concept it is new to me
though not without a certain salacious appeal.
