For my sins I was educated by the English Public School system ('explains a lot' I hear you say...).
In the 70s, a chap who was a bit of a smoothy with the girls was called a 'Steve' as in - "Watch out for Rupert, he's a bit of a Steve".
This post is not relevant to anything but it does have the word 'Steve' in it. And 'Auction'...
ps. I was very young in the 70s
