I've wondered about extra virgin as well. Virgin is surely a switch - on/off - term. You'd have thought that olive oil marketers would have come up with another word, unless they wanted to link their product with sex in some way. But surely not. Surely hot oil wrestling is enough.

Christmastide in nineteen forty something and our and our prim schoolmistress is teaching us to sing carols. A perfectly innocent question, "What does Round yon Virgin mean miss?" has her blushing and adressing her answer to the blackboard. For years after that I still believed that virgin was an old word for corner.

There is something like this in the film (I think film, though it might just have been the book) of Goodbye Mr Chips - "Why was Elizabeth called The Virgin Queen, Sir?"
