The dog’s bollocksAn award-winning children's book “
The Higher Power of Lucky” has been banned from some American school libraries for the use of the word “scrotum.”
Yet the offending scrotum belongs to a dog that was bitten in the bollocks by a rattlesnake.
(More on the uproar
here.)
As a child, I would have been angry if an adult decided this wasn’t suitable reading material for me.
But this is
Infomaniac so we’re not here to discuss censorship; we’re here to discuss naughty bits.
I delighted in finding such colourful words as "scrotum" in books when I was a child. Not unlike today (some things never change) it would have had me rolling on the floor laughing. And wanting to read more.
How about you? What were the words that had
you in stitches when
you were a kid?
Testiclay!!!
