h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Not necessarily - they could have had absolutely massive dildos and a somewhat peculiar anatomy ...

perhaps the chinese women could have taken their enourmous dildoes into battle...

They might scare the enemy off

Ah! I get it!
tomato->tomatoes
dildo->dildoes
Thanks, Uncle. Now someone just needs to tell Dan Quayle.

i was following all the way up til there

The books are Idiots Guide to Sex


The Joy of Sex
and a Guide for Women in how to make love better (the same author as Men are from Mars and Women from Venus). I got them from the public library in
Grays.

JA

Sarge, I'd posted the word "dildos" (not "dildoes" as then plural apparently should be spelt) and was just thanking Uncle Heavy because he'd spelt it correctly and thus taught me something. Which I like. Dan Quayle famously corrected a student's spelling of "potato" to potatoe" on a US tour.

As far as sex technique guides go, I don't think there's that much they can teach beyond the physicalities of where all the helpful bits and bobs are. and once you know that, you know. Everyone's different-you'll never know really how to please someone fully until you're in bed with them.

But it is potato

But thanks anyhoo

Yea, maybe there should be an idiot's guide to spelling, just for Dan Quayle?

The student spelt it right, Sgt Mushy.

Quayle incorrectly changed it to "potatoe"

Hmmmmmmmmmm

I was taught at school to add an "e" if the word becomes plural, so "dildoes" would be correct, as is "potatoes".

As for loved-ones heads being painted on the dildoes, surely that's for kissing purposes?




I can't believe we're having this discussion.

but what about dodos/dodoes, the second looks a little too much like doodoos for my liking.

moreover, i think its dildos. like heros.

Collins English Dictionary says:

hero pl. heroes
potato pl. potatoes
tomto pl. tomatoes
dildo pl. dildos, dildoes.

Seems they don't know either.

I think it must be a personal thing.

Let's just be glad there isn't a smiley for it!

Words of Spanish origin will not normally have the extra "e" before the "s" because for Spanish, the "o" sound does not change in the plural. To keep the "Oh" sound in the English, we have to add the "e" otherwise we will have written a word which would be pronounced e.g. tomatoss.

Please don't ask me if dildo is a Spanish word, though.

It's just dildo.

This is sad I just went and checked that on Altavista!

*hangs head in shame*

I think it should be dildos, but only cos dildoes looks like a medical complaint

It's not even in my dictionary!!!

That's an old dictionary!

Are you sure you're looking up the correct spelling?


I've always wondered how, if you can't spell a word, you can look it up in a dictionary?

By the way, I'm no longer a Pantomime virgin!
I saw my first ever panto on Friday.

Oh yes I did!

Nah, it's just my dictionary is very very small

Panto??? Oh dear...I haven't seen one in years...they were always dreadful as I remember...

The only time I have any fun is looking at the books I have got.
