> And a cabinet's a cabinet for all that.... :-)
> ERRRRR NOT always. In English English it could also mean "a small private
room" and then the meaning shifted to the people who were privileged to enter
the aforesaid small private room - which is why the inner council of the
British Prime Minister is actually called "The Cabinet" and the ministers who
form that inner council and have responsibility for various branches of
administration are known as "Cabinet Ministers".
which, by extention, makes all Brit Prime Ministers Cabinetmakers.
