And Big Richard's is just a sports bar owned by a large man named Richard.

Of course it's a marketing ploy!

Do you have something against oral?

??

I don't think I'm eating at a place called "The Bunghole".

It's a Liquor store.

Well, that knowledge makes me feel a bit better.

Has our society really become even more puritan than before? Words don't just become dirty once they're been used as a "dirty" euphemism.

(insert Babette here saying "hehehe. He said Magnification") ;)

Well, maybe to some they do - and I get my foot stuck in my mouth 50% of the time with people hearing something dirty in something I say. Of course, I always think that's funny.

But, Pink Taco?

Can' I still go to Pinks for weiner?

Is it that people think dirty or that certain words and phrases have become common euphamisms?
