"A good nickname works on many levels. Take Mrs. Godfrey's latest nickname, "Venus De Silo."" "Venus was the goddess of love and beauty. Mrs. Godfry is nrither loving nor beautiful. So you've got the whole irony thing going on. Venus is also a planet, an obvious reference to Mrs. Godfrey's enormous size." "Venus De Silo.
