A number of years ago Julie Andrews was in a skit on
TV, probably on the Carol Burnett Show, in which she
appeared on a split screen as both Mary Poppins and
Emily, her character from The Americanization of
Emily.    Mary referred to Emily as a saucy piece of
baggage, Emily to Mary as a baggy piece of sausage.

Perhaps not particularly enlightening on this
discussion, but it has stuck in my head all these
years.
