Chris Bruce asked:
Am I remembering correctly that 'church key' is a pseudonym for
'bottle opener'?
It is slang for a certain KIND of bottle opener, one made of thick curved
'wire,' usually copper, shaped vaguely like a key. Those openers with a curved
lip (to lift a bottle cap) opposite a sharp point (to puncture the tops of
cans) are not church keys. I haven't seen a church key in ages.
Anyone up for a discussion of 'nihilism'? (That 'silence' I've been
listening to lately ....)
I'm against all discussions of anything. There's nothing in them.
