[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

They sell t-shirts with various refernces to "The Bunghole" (e.g. "I got it at the Bunghole").

Do they have a shirt that says, "I got shitfaced at the Bunghole"?

A bunghole is not a cornhole.

the Salem area has a mini-chain of package stores called Bunghole Liquors.

the one in Peabody plays a crucial role as a landmark when I give directions.

ION, is "broach" a particularly uncommon or advanced vocabulary word? I used it in an email with a co-worker ("we should broach the subject to X...") and she had no idea what it meant. Am I a total snob for being bewildered about her not knowing this?

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

"Broach" is one of the many perfectly good words that I use knowing that most people will not know what I mean.

I am a snob, and I like it that way.

I know "broach". I use "broach". I have never gotten the deer in the headlights response.

Hold firm! Stand your ground against the dumbing down of the language!

I don't find it an uncommon word, but then, sometimes there's just a word that some people have never come across, or haven't come across in a particular context.

Our wings are not tired.

Broach is a word I would expect people with English as a first language to know. I would avoid it when communicating with people I knew had limited English. But a co-worker I wouldn't think twice about using it.

There are words at times that we just miss learning for some reason. Of course I love when I learn a shiny new one.

Wait a minute there! Isn't a broach a thing a lady wears?
