			In Latin, 'bubo' translates to 'cry like a bittern (bird that booms/roars like an ox during mating)'. As Pratchett was quite clever in his use of portmanteaus, the word also resonates with the word 'bitter', which is a state of being regularly associated with relationships in such magazines, etc. A heron-like bird, 'bittern' comes from Latin <i>butionem</i> "bittern" + taurus "bull" (see steer (n.)); according to Pliny, so called because of its booming voice, but this seems fanciful. Modern form from 1510s.' ('bittern' etymology is from etymonline.com)

'Me and my spoon' is a feature in the British satirical magazine Private Eye, satirising trivial interviews with questions such as 'What is your favourite Spoon', 'Has anything amusing ever happened to you in connection with a spoon', etc.
