Near this spot are deposited the remains of one who possessed beauty without vanity strength without insolence courage without ferocity and all the virtues of man without his vices. This praise which would be unmeaning flattery if inscribed over human ashes is but a just tribute to the memory of Boatswain, a dog who was born at Newfoundland, May 1803, and died at Newstead Abbey, November 18, 1808.And in fact could be the epitaph of most dogs, I think!

b-youth [name post-edited] says, That P.C. nonsense with words annoys me. I mean, if you choose to start a discussion on the word (which stales did not), you should have the guts to say what it is you're referring to.
Sorry to have troubled you, b-youth. As it happens I agree with you, but who am I to impose my views on those whose ears might be more sensitive?

You're right Ken, leave that sort of recklessness up to others.
BTW, I'm not generally called 'BYB'; BobYoungBalt might, in his esteem and wisdom, be rather annoyed to be tarred with the same brush as a young snot-nose like myself.

Oops! Sorry about that -- my mind knows you're a b'yout-iful person, but my typing fingers are often wayward!

In reply to:

BY, as a former young snot-nose myself, I welcome your views; we need the perspective of some younger members. Of course, you will find that we mellow with age, although the prospect is probably nauseating at your stage of life. Fortunately, mellowing is a fact of life, and a damn good thing too, otherwise there would be no drinkable red wine or grain spirit, and the snot-noses would all beat each other to death.
This thread having gone to the dogs, can I briefly insert a note along the lines of its original subject?
An inhabitant of the queen city of the Patapsco River drainage area is often called a Baltimoron.
