Hah! It appears there are some who doubt the veracity of the "Never say 'Rutabaga'" dictum. Remember Martin Gibson? Said "rutabaga" and he was outta here. Clinton Hammond? Uttered "rutabaga" and nobody's heard from him since. The Shambles? You guessed it. "Rutabaga"!

I, on the other hand, have never said "rutabaga". I always say "swede". If Max wants to ban me, it won't be on account of some root crop.

By the way, a mangelwurzel is a big European sugarbeet. You can say "mangelwurzel" without being banned, but don't say "mangelwurzel" and "sheep" in the same sentence. For example, saying "I find the sight of sheep grazing on mangelwurzels to be ever so erotic!" would be a definite no-no.
