Great name for a metal band

And none should have tattoos, get divorced, or combine different fabrics in one garment, and they should throw stones at rebellious children until they are dead. Oh, and they may own slaves and purchase wives.

@Piratefish Technically I'm still paying for my (ex) wife even though I'm not a Christian. Maybe my mistake was that I tried it out for her sake?

@Piratefish It is fun to go out for shellfish in a cotton-poly blend and discuss my divorce that led to my tattoo. Hmmmnn almost like I was checking off their list. The rest in your list does not apply, I think they are for the men-folk.?

@LB67 Yeah, for some reason, the bronze-age, hill dwelling goat herders who wrote the old testament were extremely misogynistic. And the "apostle" Paul tried his level best to carry that tradition into the Christian part of the story, the new testament.

@LB67 I'm still trying to work out what post-divorce tattoo I should get. I want something that doesn't scream "mid-life crisis", but at my age, I'm afraid that would be the case with anything I get...

@Paul4747 my brother-in-law gets tattoos for holiday souvenirs. They are good for so many occasions. You could get two. Lol I got mine at 34, so I am really hoping it wasn’t also a mid-life crisis tattoo.

@Paul4747 I'll be 48 this summer and got divorced last March. I've been thinking about getting a tattoo of my dog, Caesar, who died from cancer two years ago. He was the best thing that ever happened to me.

@Piratefish I once knew a guy who had a tattoo (I think done in prison) that was meant to be of his mother, which came out looking like his dog...

@Paul4747 Hopefully I won't be getting mine in prison.

@Piratefish Agreed. I don't know why anyone (except the life sentence guys) ever do.

We Americans and our deviant spellings. I wonder if we changed it to tidbit because here, "tit" is coarse slang for a woman's breast?

@mordant Not just Americans.
As Terry Pratchett once pointed out (paraphrasing here), "The Elizabethans had so many slang words for a woman's genitalia that it's nearly impossible to speak a sentence in modern English without accidentally uttering at least three of them."

@mordant It is here too, Brits are much less sensitive about these things

@mordant, @Paul4747 As for women's bits as long as you hit on any feminine sounding word you'll get one...flower...butterfly...garden. It's silly

@Amisja That Puritan heritage at work. Use a euphemism because you can't just come out and say what it is.

Of course, it's nice to have more than one word available, and sometimes it can be quite poetic. That's one thing the Bible is good for; The Song of Songs.
