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.

Post it quick to someone going to a convention
I would, but I don't know anybody in Oz, and who here would trust a twot like me with their address? :lol:

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."
:hehe:

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? :plot:

Pronunciation-wise, you mean? That's just what looks natural to us.

And instead of the duck body and croc head it can be a donkey body with Josh's head...

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!"

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

Of course both Josh and the Christian guy got it wrong didn't they, there was a an animal like that except it was a 'duckcroc'

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. :funny: :funny: Hee hee, wouldn't it be funny if he were outed as a Christian. :hilarious:

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 never hear any one use the word twat or twot here in the US. :dono:

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 :tup:
