There are very few, if any, courses on semantics that don't consider the word bachelor. This is because it's fairly easy to use it to illustrate lexical decomposition or definitional approaches to word meaning (even though most definitions include the concept {MARRIED} which is at the opposite end of the definable spectrum). On the other hand, very few people think that they use the word in everyday conversations. So it was nice to find a spontaneous usage in this article. Here's the relevant bit:
"Bobbie, a man in his 70s from the village of Halkirk, near Thurso, had driven down especially. 'It's not him I've come to see, it's the girlfriend; I'm a bachelor so I've not seen as much as a married man,' he said unabashed. 'It's a bit of fun. There's not much else to brighten the winter here.' "
The nice thing about this example is that what Bobbie says afterwards gives some evidence about what he thinks are relevant inferences to draw about bachelors.
(It might also be interesting to discuss how these two people are 'the naked rambler and his girlfriend' rather than 'the two naked ramblers'. To be fair, I think this is partly because it's Stephen who's keen on naked rambling and Melanie is being supportive rather than being particularly keen on it herself).
