It's quite a conundrum. Whore, still funnier. Even with the implied.
Zoe: Preacher, don't the Bible have some pretty specific things to say about killing? Book: Quite specific. It is, however, somewhat fuzzier on the subject of kneecaps.

since they will likely see the threads on the main page,
Well, if they use the message center, and read new, they never have to see the main page! Okay, unless you're having that funky thing where it redirects you to the main page. But that isn't happening to *me*, so I don't really care about it! la la la
But, seriously, won't that still pose a problem? Like if they see "Buffy 16: Uh Oh, Daddy's Home" people might unwillingly go nuts trying to figure out what context *that* came out of. And other people, like Fiona, will be annoyed during Grave when a great line is interrupted by their minds going, "Oh, so that's where the title came from!" or even "Where did I read that before? It's really familiar. Is Willow quoting the title of the latest Britney Spears song, to show she's really evil, or something?" I mean, not with Grave, obviously, because it's all aired, but...
... there's no way around that, is there?

I really, really like "Oh my God, I'm a hack." Show-specific, writing-related, a Jossism, but in no way spoilery since it was something he said on the set rather than in a script.

Exactly. This totally gets my vote, for all these reasons.
Plus, it doesn't set off any prude-alerts that some folks might have at work or wherever.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
Oh yeah, whore might be not-so-work-friendly.
Hack, then. I like monkeys, but we can save it until the unamericans have seen it, if they get to see it.

Here's the exact quote for the Stompy Foot Thread-Makers:
Like more than one ex-nerd of my acquaintance, Whedon compulsively peppers his speech with self-deprecating asides: ''Oh, my God, I am a hack,'' he moans as we watch Fillion, his thumbs hooked in the belt loops of his skintight slacks, swagger back onto the ship's bridge. But like his show's hero, Whedon exudes confidence.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Okay, The Quotable Firefly is up and running.
