Abrasive Language
This one pushes the PG envelope just a bit, but having overheard this conversation in a local branch of a national sporting goods store (and, somehow, managing to avoid howling with laughter at the time), I simply could not resist retelling it through Sheila’s patient and helpful customer service smile. Besides, we’ve not had a chance to see her at work in a while.

Funny how innocent conversation sounds weird when it’s about balls 😉
Only a bounder would find anything dirty in this conversation… 😉
I’m pretty sure this would be approaching an R rating in the States. Then again, Space Balls said the F-word and got a PG rating.
In this usage, the term is merely risque and suggestive. It’s the sort of joke that one could get away with even on ordinary American television as far back as the 1970s. It’s been used, in its more direct form, on American television within the past decade or so. Thanks for your concern!
