Breastfeeding in Norwegian is 'amming', and the verb 'to breastfeed' is
'amme' which rhymes with momma.  One word for lady is 'dame' as in French,
only it is a true two syllable word in Norwegian and rhymes approximately
with 'amme'.
Put them together and you get 'amme-dame' which even small children can say.
 The word 'consultant' or 'konsulent' in Norwegian has strong negative
connotations so we never call ourselves that.   Never!
