I agree, as I've already noted (in a recent post).
[However, note that Thorne's dictionary claims that 'nappy hair' = 'pubic
hair' is reinforced by British 'nappy' = 'diaper'. Certainly it is at least
as reasonable to presume reinforcement by 'sanitary napkin'.]
Incidentally, 'dugout' might be along the lines of 'dugout canoe' rather
than 'baseball dugout'. The 'boat' simile has been used now and then ....
