But by todays slang, nymph or nympho, someone who like to have sex all the time. Sounds like Stan and Xev to me.

Naturally I know about the mythological origin of the word nymph (I [i]am[/i] an expert on Classical mythology). But I think in the typical modern usage it comes up mostly to describe insects (like those creepy-crawly pre-adult cicadas that are everywhere in the summer). At any rate, it’s a cool name because it describes the new Lexx and is only one syllable. I can totally see Stan saying “Nymph, blow up that planet” (though Stan hasn’t actually blown up a planet since [i]Patches in the Sky[/i] over 4,000 years ago).
