Banned Balls

Feb 16, 2007 11:10

It's not only dirty words that can get your novel banned from school libraries. Apparently even technical terms for certain body parts are also a no-no. Words like: scrotum. Actually a pretty funny word when you think about it, right? Let's all say it together: "Scrotum, scrotum...sca-ROH-HO-HO-tuum ( Read more... )

awards, books, rants, censorship

External mating plexus, FTW.

Why not, LOL?

Actually I gave it a bit of thought and decided against testicles because that refers to the inner workings. I have patients, though, who have no qualms about complaining, "Hey, nurse--I'm sitting on my testicles!"

And I do encourage my, um, rowdier male patients to please, please try to keep "Mister" covered up. :)

Yesterday on "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?" the question was, which professionals use a technique called "surround and drown"? One of the choices was "nurses."

I was thinking about you. =D

Love writers who have no fear. anonymous November 30 2007, 19:40:35 UTC

I spent some time on this site. I think it has meaning. It has a freedom writers need. My new company, "Zooty and Flappers," a Pre-Publishing Company is about to open...www.zootyandflappers.com
It was designed for writers who have balls ( meaning no fear ) to change an Industry that treats writers like pork to be sold by the pound.
The money changers forget, without writers, they have nothing to sell.
