Damn English!

Welcome to the latest word on atrocious English, from wierd, er, weird, spelling to idiotomatic expressions to modest proposals for change, wherein we tackle such pressing contemporary English language issues as:

-Did sh*t ever actually hit a fan?
-Once and for all, who’s the smartest: brain surgeons or rocket scientists?
-Which is the more persuasive: having someone over a barrel or by the balls?
-What difference is there, if any, between an old coot, an old fogey and an old geezer, and while we’re on the subject, do we still need to employ the adjective “old”?
-When is it wiser to go with “I don’t give a rat’s a*s” over “I don’t give a flying f*ck”?
