    Wasn’t that what Rodin was going to call one of his sculptures?

    If it is the same in English as 'dörrvakt' is in Swedish - somebody to let people in and out on busy week-ends.
    Oh, there used to be an occupation (and still may be at 'upper crust' hotels and apartment buildings in, say, New York City) that, in this country, was called a doorman. They wouldn't let you in if they didn't recognize you, or unless you convinced them that you were there on legitimate business. I've never seen a woman in the position (probably to avoid confusion with another profession), so this occupation has resisted a name change to 'doorperson'.

    'Doorchecker' is already gender-neutral, so the Europeans are more up on protocol than the US is.

    You mean you type without thinking! 😛

    Well in your case you may be right it could be 'scratching'! 🙂

    Anyway we all knew how long it would last.

    I thought you said that 'we' indicates that you have a following.

    You either changed your mind or you're just a hypocrite.

    I think 'we' know which it is.

    Don't you have bouncers at the door of bars in Arizona checking ID's? We call them doormen

    Suze Q,
    You are probably just beginning to notice that the Europeans are up on protocol and have been on the U.S. for many years now!

    I don't have a following such as you do Suzie Q.

    It is surprising how many people you have fooled! 🙂

    Almost a compliment to you Suzie!

    😠 The "dörrvakt" actually asked me, in Swedish, if I had an appointment to enter the Tavern. The gall of the man. 😲
