drastic action
Certainly NOT junk - but as an aside , what happens to ejaculate after a vasectomy?

re: drastic action
The amount of ejaculate goes down slightly.

Thanks (I don't think I have ever seen it explained what happens in the vasa deferentia if it's been stimulated but then blocked).
Off topic but amusing little mistake by female tv reporter recently: Her piece to camera was on medical advances in breast cancer treatment and she declared that in future many women may not need to have a vasectomy. |

The term junk is slang from an era where everything desirable or of value was put down. Drug dealers were probably responsible for this abuse of the language in their desire to confuse and confound the authorities.

On the topic of the word "junk", people often use the names of body parts we truly treasure and adore as insults. Names like "You toenail!", or "You spleen!" are never used. At least that I've ever heard. Its "You dick!", or "You asshole!". Yet we treasure these body parts. You could get by without toenails easily enough, getting by without a spleen would be difficult but still theoretically possible, but getting by without a penis or an anus might make life not worth living if not downright impossible. Its so strange that names for such areas that we treasure so much are used to demean and insult. The same applies to female regions but we don't need to go into that here. WHY, is the question, WHY debase our most beloved body parts.
I think it was George Carlin who observed that when somebody says "f*** you!!", or "get f****ed!!" its actually kinda nice. I mean, we do enjoy it, don't we. In telling somebody to do that you are actually telling them to go experience ecstasy. That ain't bad. So why is it about the most hostile insult? It might have been from Carlin's bit about 7 words you can't say on the air. Its funny but there's a lot of truth in it. Last edited by kumu : 07-03-2013 at 07:29 PM. |

Trust the BBC to write a book on it and if you don't fall asleep you will discover that "strong language" must be carefully assessed. Fuck was first heard on tv in November 1965 - enormous fuss about it - even questions asked in Parliament. The funny part was that the leading campaigner said that Kenneth Tynan should have his bottom smacked (little knowing his penchant for flagellation) |
