This has nothing to do with spanking… but everything to do with the sort of language young ladies should not use. But hey, it comes from the “Times” wildlife column.
There was a time when this column was banned by The Times. Or at least, by the newspaper’s anti-filth control, which is intended to protect staff from pornography and gambling on the internet.
We couldn’t understand it. Every now and then, I would e-mail the week’s column over and it would never arrive.
At last, we found out why. The banned columns all contained the word “tits”.
The Times journalists are really screwed if they want to write columns about Essex, Scunthorpe, or the Arsenal football club…
-------Now you can buy a book of the best entries from "The Spanking Writers".

I seem to remember a council planning department having a similar problem when emails refereed to “erection of dwelling”. etc.
I wonder how you go on getting a planning application through if you live in Cockfosters?
*snort* Or if your name is Cockburn?
OK, this is getting bad.
Cockburn? Oh, how bad I feel for joining in the teasing of our old German teacher at school, who rejoiced in the alternative version of his name… Mr Throbknob…
We derived infinite amounts of amusement from my freind’s surname, Cox.
Ah, Evie. I know that surname well. It’s not mine - but it is my mother’s. And stepfather’s. My, how we laughed when we used to visit a pub for food that announced its arrival by the shout of the ordering surname. “Cox!” and we all raised our hands…
…giggles at the thought of asking Littlenic how she responds to the offer of ‘Cox’ these days…
