God intended limericks should be bawdy.

In that case I shall resurrect my proudest limerick achievement:

There was a young lady named Doris
who had a most tuneful ****oris.
It sang and it hummed
and if lovingly strummed
would render the whole Anvil Chorus.

There once was a girl from Calcutta,
(Hey! Remove your sweet mind from the gutter!)
just to slip on her pants
she would do a strange dance
after slathering her legs with some butter.

In public one must know how to behave
With manners, to eat, or curtsey, or wave
But in private, at night
It gives great delight
If your behavior is more deprave

>limericks should be bawdy

[I was going to start a new thread for this, but quickly thought better of it and decided to bury it down here where some of y'all are gleefully pounding away on bawdy limericks.]

last week somebody searched my site for a word which was totally unfamiliar to me. as is my wont when I spot one of these, I tried OneLook and was pointed to some slang files. the Macquarie Dictionary suggests that this word may be the rudest (i.e., grossest) word currently in English use; and I have to concur. <ecch>

if you need a word to rhyme with belch, you can easily find this word through onelook; but you have been warned!

Thanks. I just finished writing an E-mail to my mom, delicate ears and all, telling her the best way to get rid of squirrels in the attic was to apply some coyote piss -- and now you have to bring up retromingent hamsters. Or something.

Oh, the grossness of it all...

It also appears to be a surname (very rare: popularity rank in the U.S.: #22292). One might imagine a couple hyphenating their last names, a couple with the other partner having the name that rhymes with jerkin.

Yes I too agree that limericks should be bawdy or at least funny... and so, in light of that...

She walked in the bar with a duck.
She was there to meet priest, but no luck.
The joke's sure to offend,
'Cause I want it to end,
But boy how that girl loved to ...
