Refuge In Vulgarity is being renamed to Vulgar Humor. Zero Context Examples and bad examples are being cut.


* RefugeInVulgarity: In spades. In fact, the show would be a lot less funny if the characters were not all played by Lucas and Walliams in makeup.

Removing wick to Did Not Do The Research per rename at TRS.


* DidNotDoTheResearch: A guide at the aquarium corrects Lou regarding the plural of ''octopus'', saying it's ''octopi'' rather than ''octopuses''. In truth, this is hypercorrection: ''octopus'' originates from Greek, so if you want to use an "authentic" plural form, it would be ''octopodes''.
** It still functioned as a vagina joke.
