Yeah, but I pushed it. 😛 The blasphemy is still out there lurking.

BTW, there’s nothing wrong with somebody starting a brand new target of abuse.

Maybe something with some proper nouns that could become fodder pretty quickly, or some quaint terminology that’s just barely understandable.

Here’s a sample from MAD back in the 50’s:

“It’s crackers to slip a rozzer the dropsy in snide.” (any clue if that has a translation to English?)
