Thread Name: BS: Improper Language
Subject: RE: BS: Improper Language
Well said Harlow person with whom I have the honour of sharing a distinguished surname. You have given a perfect example of innocent use of improper words.

"Berk" is another prime example. It is the abbreviated version of "Berkley Hunt" which is rhyming slang for that four letter word most hated by women.

Great thread links kat. I shall take my time to study them carefully. They are definitely related to this subject.
