DR: One day soon the dialog may go as follows, "Good sir, pray fetch me a
ripping chisel, some mechanical fingers, a bottle of dry spray lubricant,
twenty feet of base cap molding, a female appliance plug,

Sorry, but using "female" for "thing with holes" (see, plugs, pipe fitting etc.) was officially retired last year. It's non-pc to say that. Just like "master/slave" is no longer acceptable for hard drive "relationships". How far can we go?

I once asked a bank manager how the ATM discriminated between a personal cheque and a paycheque deposit and she assured me "oh, no, we don't discriminate!"

floundering (sic)

where IS JLS anyway?
