There's a classic film called Repo Man, starring Harry Dean Stanton, which is chock full of fucks, left right and centre. So some scenes were reshot as a cleaned up tv version. Unfortunately, the clean word they chose as a replacement was 'flip', which is rather a childish non-expletive - as in "flipping 'eck!" or "I don't flipping know!"
The highlight was when Stanton's rough, tough trucker character furiously yelled the classic line: "Yeah? Well, flip you!"
The incongruity was hilarious.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
