Those wacky British

Okay, last year I learned that w****r was a word worth astricking in Britain. Now I have no idea what word they are astricking out this time.

Also, it shows that lottery winners are just as bad at math as lottery players. Perhaps I should say personal finance instead of math.

It also makes me want to go play the lottery because I just know I wouldn’t blow it if I won. Even $1 million would be enough. Heck, I’d be happy with $100,000. Now that I think about it, I’m pretty excited to be getting back $600 from the IRS next month.

    Pissed (as in drunk, not as in angry) would be my guess.

    They apparently have a term for this: bowdlerizing, after Thomas Bowdler, who apparently thought that Shakespeare was too raunchy and rewrote the Bard’s works to be more appropriate. And prudish.

  2. That was my guess, but pissed up? That’s an unsatisfying adjective. And to my mind not worthy of bowdlerizing. Crude, but not profane, if you will. But whatever, it’s their wacky language.
