Talk:Agony aunt

Why does "advice column" redirect here? If anything, it seems like "agony aunt" should redirect to "advice column." I think this page needs work, but it needn't be a priority.QuixoticKate 19:07, 31 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Terry Pratchett

From the article:

Author Terry Pratchett uses agony aunt in quite another sense. It involves more of the word "agony".

Tell us more, please...

It means that Terry takes the name literally, these two old sisters (and aunts maybe too) act like batman, beat up the bad guys or whoever gets in their way. To put it another way, these two aunts cause people "agony" JayKeaton 15:10, 24 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

--- "Agony Column" should also probably not redirect here, as it often (generally?) referrs to a specific form of personal classified advertisement. Ross Hatton 18:34, 9 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
