I had to look up Baldrick, and I found a page of quotes of Blackadder (played by the aaaabsolutely fabulous Rowan Atkinson):
Here are a couple of samples.
"Samuel Johnson: "This book, sir, contains every word in our beloved language."
Blackadder: "Every single one, sir?"
Samuel Johnson: "Every single word, sir.
"Blackadder: "Oh, well, in that case, sir, I hope you will not object if I also offer the Doctor my most enthusiastic contrafibularities."
And:
"There hasn't been a war run this badly since Olaf the Hairy, King of all the Vikings, ordered 80,000 battle helmets with the horns on the inside."

Results speak louder than insults.
Seems that I hit a reactionary nerve there, eh? Not just one it would appear.
Not to worry, I'll do it again when the time comes.
Professional gadfly and reality are sometimes mutually exclusive.

Anyhow, check out Baldrick's family name.
Sorry, I'm not following. I find baldrick, the cross-body sling, and I found a reference to the character's family name being Baldrick . . . ?
I seem to recall he thought his family name was Sod off. The reason being was he once told Blackadder that whenever he asked someone what his family name was they responded "Sod off, Baldrick". I am sure Phibes will correct me if I am mistaken.

Rather they were intended to be annoyingly shallow and more than just a little pedantic.
You'll probably get deep when you grow up.
You should probably get a life.

Ah yes. I saw one quote where a third character asked Blackadder what the S stood for in front of Baldrick. Blackadder says, 'Sod off'. The guy says, I suppose you're right, it isn't actually any of my business."
Heh!

I hate to be pedantic about it, but Baldrick is his family name, Sod Off was his given.

Incidentally, his father was a nun.
No he wasn't.
Yes, he was.
Whenever he appeared in court, and they asked his occupation, he replied 'nun'.

I stand corrected.
