That one's been in widespread use for ages..
In the C14th there was even a 'side arm' specifically known as a 'bollock dagger'.
It was called that because it was a dagger designed specifically to aim at your bollocks. There was little time, or inclination, to appeal to niceties at that particular time.
Interestingly, as the appetite for appraising articles 'from the past' intensified in Victoria's reign, that most uptight of eras, such naughty articles were re-classified as 'kidney daggers'.
Even coming at the whole thing blind it doesn't take much imagination to evaluate the relative vulnerabilities of the kidneys as opposed to those of the bollocks -
- Kidneys - housed handsomely within the body, on the whole behind the primary point of contact, also generally found, at the time, behind a rather effective back-plate as a primary line of defense
- Bollocks - housed inconveniently outside of the body, facing potential points of contact, on the whole below another piece of bodily apparatus that ideally needs to be frequently accessed, usually entirely unarmoured
I thought I might as well offend everyone: I don't give to charity. I feel we pay enough tax in this country and that all the fantastic work done by these people should be paid for out of our taxes.
I don't find that offensive in the slightest, in fact i think it's worth making the point more obvious to people who don't see things in that way.
Nobody in this country doesn't give something of their earnings to charity.
From Income Tax to National Insurance, the Value Added Tax you pay on anything that isn't food or kiddie clothing, Inheritance Tax, Vehicle Tax, whatever, these are essentially charitable contributions. There is not a man woman or child among you that doesn't pay one or more of these things.
That you do not
choose to pay them does not make them any less charitable, for that is their object, their purpose. To make us all charitable beings.
We pay in, we get out. To all according to their need, from all according to their ability to contribute.
Of course the demands upon those that contribute will ebb and flow according to the prevailing winds - and that is what politics is.
