Dear Americans,

[blamebrampton]

On the whole, I love you. I have long loved many of your countrymen, sometimes from afar as with Frank Capra and Katherine Hepburn, and sometimes from up close as with some very lucky young people in the 1980s and '90s.

I think your land is beautiful, your governments uniformly mad, your religious leaders alternately inspiring and depressing and your jazz miraculous.

But.

I would like to impose a rule on you all. If you cannot say the word penis, you may not handle, draw, write about or otherwise involve yourself with them. Babytalk derivatives do not count. Similarly, the F-bomb and C-bomb may no longer be. "That person used an expletive I am not comfortable with" or "Fuck me! She said cunt!" are your two options.

That is all, please go about your business.

With love,
Brammers

We really are on the same wavelength, lol.

Now I really want to know what the more at B&B is ...

Yes. Penis. Cock if you'd like some hard consonants. I have since discovered that Americans call a ball-pein hammer a ball-peen hammer and I giggled like a five year old for a few minutes over that.

...Yes, yes we do. I never knew there was another way to spell it. I always thought it was either something with an obscure technical meaning, or just one of those words that once meant something sensible, but is now basically nonsense sounds.

BALL
PEEN

never occurred to me.

I guess that's why rough sex is often described as "hammering"!
