I've assumed (as has most everyone else, I think, thus their less than enthusiastic reaction when you've used the term) that when you've talked about "nards," you have actually been referring, in at least a metaphorical way, to testicles. Nads/nards is pretty common slang, isn't it?

Anyway, I think you've been kind of a bit misunderstood when you've used it in the past is what I'm saying. But yeah, I think context/social commentary can be important, but idiots are idiots. If you see what I mean.

(And I guess I need to throw out a possible line from my version of the possible script our rifftrack, cunningly making fun of an infamous "All-Star Batman and Robin" line....) ;-)

Annnnnd I think I shouldn't comment when I'm tired. Just to clarify, by "idiots are idiots," I wasn't talking about you. I was talking about people who use offensive insults outside the context of social style commentary/sarcasm/etc. If you see, once again, what I mean. Not sure that earlier comment was entirely clear there.

Annnnnnd I think you need to worry less about how I'll respond to things. :)

But thanks for worrying. :) I hadn't really realized it myself, either. In CT, it was 'nads, not 'nards.

Maybe I should reexamine the word and come up with a new consonant for the N. Zards? Fards? Dards? Jards?

I really have to wonder why, evolutionarily, it might be advantageous to have a brain that even THINKS about these sorts of things. :)
