Re: Protest Josh at AA Convention Melbourne March

Since Josh designed the crocoduck necktie, how about 'Crock-o-fuck?'

It's a British English thing as well. More old-fashioned - you don't hear it as much these days.ficklefiend wrote:p.s I just noticed over that past few days that americans say "twot". What is that?

I was going to write on it something like "I'd prefer not to have this page sullying the contents of what is otherwise a very fine book."

Maybe we ought to re-work the wording of the dedication. My copy is at home right now, but I'm sure others are better served. Perhaps a new thread?

Re: Protest Josh at AA Convention Melbourne March
I was watching Louis CK the other day, don't know if you know of him.. and he said "twot" I thought that must be a version of twat that americans used but not very often. I'd heard it only once before and I thought it was just the way they were saying "twat"... it's like I remember someone posting the equivalent to a UK poster "Oh, you actually write it A-R-S-E, I thought that was just the way you said ass!"Bella Fortuna wrote:Pronunciation-wise, you mean?

I need to come over to America sometime, put all of this cultural knowledge to use some day.

I had a thought, maybe the reason why the acolyte has had this brainstorm is because he's been reborn and is trying to sabotage the whole atheist idea.



I think protesting while RD is visiting down under is a brilliant idea. It will get the story into the mainstream news at least.

I thought it was a puritanical self-censorship thing. I did read an example of this the other day; americans using 'heck' or 'frickin' or something in place of the actual word.
I think the book signing 'protest' is such a good idea I've stuck it in my sig. I fully understand that if I were to get to meet Richard Dawkins, I might be reluctant to sour the occasion by passing on the bile of other losers off the internet but as a gesture I think it's sufficiently polite and perfectly apt. If someone going wants to collect dedication pages then I'll happily publicise his/her thread in my sig until the end of the convention
