Thanks for the explanation, Labrat.
Wendy, you're right about the timing with respect to 'S...'. I just googled the archive, and only 2 of those listed as containing the word were posted within the last 2 years - Damaged and Addicted. The others were all earlier. So Lab's memo to GEs seems to have had some effect.
About 'f... - interesting how these words are used differently. I think in North America 'f...' is more likely used in those situations where UK usage would be 'b.....'. In origin, the two words mean essentially (loosely interpreted
) the same thing.
Btw, back in the very early 20th century, "rock and roll" was orginally a slang term for the sex act (back in the very early 20th century. It then got redefined.
Although ... to use the phrase "Sex, drugs, and rock and roll" is a tad redundant.
(way off topic now)
Anyway, I'll pass this on to the author of the story I'm betaing - she'll have to cut the scene, which is too bad because it was funny.
