Because it is one of the classic forms of really-bad-pun lead-ins. Here I
suspect it is an indirect way of asking what is the Lojban word for adults,
since the immature form is given in the title.
(Robin-the-Canuck, so-called to avoid confusion with Robin-the-Turk, suggests
that the names fit about equally well, neither is either, despite email
