Personally, I’d like to see the Hays Code posted in every schoolroom.
I for one have had quite enough of lustful kissing, scenes of passion, and superfluous use of liquor.
Though miscegenation is kind of fun.
And we all have to stop saying:
chippie
fairy
[the] finger
Gawd
louse
lousy
nance
nerts
pansy
slut
son-of-a
whore
and
Christ (unless used reverently)
Not giving up nertz. Nope. Never.
In that case, I hope you won't mind if I continue muttering "Son of a."
I'm with you kid. Dreyer is nuts if he thinks we would give up nertz. I still say swell, not to mention the cat's pajamas.
Frank Burns used it a lot on M*A*S*H.
"There are two words you must never use: one is swell and the other is lousy."
"Well, tell us the lousy one first."
Wait what did I do? (He jokes as a JF)
I mean, Orphan Black gave us Son of a Biscuit, so I'm going to keep saying that.
"Nerts" is a word too far, sir. If it passes muster with Kitty Packard, it passes muster with me.
And now I have “Doin’ the Production Code” stuck in my head.
I don't think people say 'lousy' enough these days.
I want this image framed and hung all over, like those old posters of Yoda urging kids to read.
Put it next to IS YOUR WASHROOM BREEDING BOLSHEVIKS?
My washroom isn’t getting any of that hot Bolshevik action, unfortunately.
Damn it I don’t wanna sleep with one foot on the floor.
If you don’t keep one foot on the floor at all times in the classroom, they’ll notice you’re asleep.
don’t forget “in your hat”
I suggest the 3 laws of robotics. But re-written for humans.
A human may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm. Etcetera.
I'm surprised they didn't go with the Clonmel Code.
I'd have gone with The Code of Hammurabi. Although the story is that the Sun god Shamash gave these laws to Hammurabi, the focus was social justice.
Maybe they misunderstood the "Learn to code" comment 🤔
Curiously, the Hammurabi Code's laws are written in an "If /Then" format. But it's in cuneiform, not ASCII. ;-)
They did that to avoid "GOTO" commands!
I was sent to Mennonite Bible school at the age of ten. We had to learn the Ten Commandments but the Mennonites weren't about to explain adultery to children, so they removed that commandment, and made the first complex one into two commandments to keep the number canonical.
