Nerd-answer coming up, that I just happen to remember from school. It was termed smallpox many years ago, 'The Great Pox' was the sexually transmitted disease we call syphilis, which is something very different. Might have two letter L's actually, but hey! Can't expect me to remember EVERYTHING including the spelling!
