The Dickens are the keepers of the "Livin' Shit." Many years ago it was decided by prudish fuckwits that some words were "dirty" or crude or offensive or something. People who wanted to remain in polite society then substituted related words for the correct ones. The Dickens family of Portsmouth had long been the keepers of the ultimate pile of livin' shit so it was only natural that the name Dickens became the polite substitute.
