Welcome Phyllisstein! (great name! - and I see you have been a member of AWADtalk longer than I have, chronologically speaking, so perhaps it is presumptuous of me to welcome you....?!) Your presence is requested in the "where are all the boks?" thread....

Well, one replied with words to the effect that there were "nude babes" in the play. Somehow the fact that that comment is so funny seems to go to the heart of the naked/nude debate.

I would love it if you would elaborate on this....I thought it was funnier because of the pupil ("learner" indeed! some pupils resist learning, doesn't they?) not realising that "babe" meant "baby" in this context....not because of the nude/naked dichotomy. [questioning/confused-e]
