yes we have only discussed for the 99th time ( so lots of threads to come ) whether taboo words exist ( yes ) and whether we are allowed to use them ( no or else they wouldnt be taboo ) and whether they change over time ( yes )
BUT
you know - Easter Monday afternoon so lets us pretend we are approaching this for the first time and not the 99th time - fresh and sunny faced
Points already made - Dambusters' dog was named Knee-jair and that was broadcast ( in the fifties - I am that old ) and then it was blooped out ( seventies and eighties ) and now I am told it is back ( noughties as a historial document and accuracy )
another point made ad infinitum
shinkie and parcki are obscene and punishable at law
scrappie and postie not ( punishable )
now WHY is this ? ( this question is also asked ad infinitum )
please ask this to yourself with a puzzled expression on your face as tho it took you a thousand years to formulate the question and it has never been asked before
and then and then ask yourself something really new
Saul Kripke ( no not the one tee-vee Big Bang Theory, the real one ) discussed naming in a book called "naming and necessity"
and wonder if Neejair in Dambusters is necessarily true as a name
and wonder further if 'the black lavvy in Dambusters' is a descriptor as Bertrand Russell first said....

no dont for chrissakes ( look up "Naming and Necessity" ) - doing that would refute my argument
instead argue loudly that jeremy clarkson's gaffe means inevitably that hordes of dark muslims with oustaches will swarm over the channel and kill us in our beds whether or not we know the arabic for 'dont shoot ! ' Finish / conclude the argument with the statement "I dont know a non-sequitur when I see one and never will. "
copy and paste 100 times and hey presto! a brand new thread !

Guy Gibson's dog was named with a very common name for black dogs at the time PP there is no doubt it was really his name. I believe there is actually a stone memorial at the airfield even now, with the word that cannot be uttered engraved upon it, though I suspect they have taped a board over it lest the PC brigade have a fit.
I wonder if this get's pulled
