It's all fun and games until someone gets a shuttlecock in the eye

Went for coffee with some coworkers, one of whom is going to play badminton tonight. We discussed the shuttlecock and the inevitability of it being renamed to the more oft used "birdie". We had a lot of fun with the shuttlecock. There's a lot of material to work with there. Such as "Oh! That shuttlecock's going to leave a nasty mark" and "See how he strokes the shuttlecock". "I can't come to work because I got a cock in my eye". Um. "Can you grab my cock?".
Seriously? I'm fucking twelve.
I watched the British version of "The Office" (super funny) and loved when the one guy always called the other guy on his cell (that he kept in a cell phone holster) and said "cock" and then hung up. I text that to people sometimes. I'll be sitting there at 7:34 on a random Thursday and I will text "cock" to Michael.
Come on. You can have so much fun with cock!

My dog Minton ate all my shuttlecocks.

Bad Minton.

Ha ha! I'm going to tell the Bad Minton joke today and claim it as my own.

I think my brother had his mouth washed out for teaching my little sister and I the word shuttlecock when we were small. Then when we were about 10 years older we were reciting poetry and it wasn't about shuttlecocks. (:P)
