You finally met this damn word! It makes me so uneasy now after all I’ve seen it used, but I guess it’s nice to know it DOES actually happen.Hopefully he won’t start dropping this word all over the place like he does in fanfiction. Though, when I looked it up under that spelling, the only related definition I could find was “A Wodehousian term of disparagement for a young lady.” It doesn’t seem to have been a commonly used word at all. Maybe Wodehouse made it up?
How weird that we both saw it get turned into ‘beazel’ in fanfic and fandom discussions! I’m definitely starting to think it was taken from 'beasel’ looking like it might have been linked Beelzebub. The fandom tends to be welll read people who would get a reference like that, and with fandom (especially slash fandom!) and it’s casual misogyny, I would not really be surprised if it came from someone being 'clever’ (and gross).
You’re further along in the Wodehouse canon than I am now, so I’m happy to have at least the minor-est part of this mystery (whether or not it was used) solved!
