Barry Smith slipped the insult 'Hyborian Wank' into Conan 24 as no one in the US knew what it meant. Also, you don't exactly 'throw' the caber do you ? It seems the cultural exchange only seems to be going one way or else we'd see [!@#%^&^].

Of course!!!! What a (there's another word) for forgetting the "wank, you say" line in Conan 24. This is one way to beat that overzealous censorship-ometer. And these ancient Saxon terms mean nothing to our good friends across the pond, including a certain Mr. Giordano.
