Just when you think the world can't get any more ridiculous...

I wonder if it might be possible to convince people that the word publix is derived from the words pubis and licks?

I wish I could edit the title of this topic to correct the typo :(

The Writers' Group I belong too often holds writing exercises. One we've used a few times is for each person to write down a set number of words (typically three). The words are then mixed up and randomly reallocated. Each recipient then has to write a scene using their allocated words.

Unfortunately some contributors take the opportunity to come up with extremely technical or unusual words. As a protest, one of the words I submitted last time was 'the'. Oddly enough, the recipient didn't write a pornographic scene. ;)

@ChiMi

Where the fuck did you get that idea from? It certainly isn't in the linked article, or in any of several other articles I've read about this.

By the way:

Jacob can now laugh about the situation and is focused on getting ready to attend Wingate University in North Carolina in the fall, where he received a full academic scholarship.

This story rates right up there with the Olympic wins of Tyson Gay or Tyson Homosexual as so many of the newspapers put it at the time due to their auto-filters.

That's one I can agree with!
Do you remember Spike Milligan's Q4? Mrs Hilda Gronk of Scunthorpe was part of the intro.

A few years ago I was in Malaysia and all emails I sent to one friend suddenly started disappearing ... because his email address was at 'grapevine.com.au'.

I assume it was because of some government directive.

I get it. The Malaysian economy is highly dependent on palm oil, so anything suggesting the superior rapeseed oil has to be censored.
