Overheard in Tesco

[McMouse]

At the check out a couple were arguing about whose turn it was to pay.

The person on the till heard the woman say to the guy, "Stop being a broccoli."

With a questioning look the assistant asked, "What's a broccoli?"

Without missing a beat the woman responded, "Short for scrotum. He is somewhere between a prick and an @rsehole."

[McMouse]

broccoli = scr ote

[tastymorsel]

No.I don't understand either?sorry.

How can broccoli be short for scrotum when broccoli has three syllables and scrotum only two?

[squarebear]

I assume the swear filter has replaced broccolli for the word "s c r o t e"

[ummmm]

Scr0te is changed to broccoli by the swear filter...

[andy-hughes]

broccoli

[andy-hughes]

It does - I just tried it! Wow, how clever!

[lumination]

hahahaha! i was confused too till i read the thread

[mike11111]

I see. It's starting to make sense now.

[pastafreak]

Ahhhh...but IS it the swear filter at work here....or did the woman actually say 'broccoli'?....maybe it was an AB couple...psml

[Bbbananas]

All this censorship McM, has slightly taken the humorous point out of your post.... ;-)

[mike11111]

I would never consider scr0te to be a swear word deserving of being filtered. Nor does broccoli put me in mind of one. A prune, perhaps.

I would have thought it was common lingo, I'm surprised the checkout girl never heard it before.
