Tangent, but I hate how the word "homely" in English means both:

  1. having a feeling of home; cozy and comfortable

And

  1. lacking in physical beauty or proportion

And then we have "homey". It's all so confusing.

Definition two seems to be an American addition. I don't think it exists as a definition outside the US.

Sarcasm can be a bitch sometimes. Overlook the Nimrod's strike, for example.
