      Bloody Norah is still widely used in the UK, and by me in the US.

      She was married to Gordon Bennett, which the article doesn't mention.

      I was only joking

        The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

              @mik Heck yeah. If we can say 'revolutionize', we can say 'suggestionize'.

                  There's no creativity in mainstream english swearing. In some other languages swearing is a skill.
