Wider meaning of liff

I haven't checked the whole entry yet to see how much has survived but I have noticed that Theddlethorpe St. helens and Theddlethorpe All Saints from a57575 have disappeared somewhere. I'd have thought that Tumby and Tumby woodside (fat people) were more offensive than pubescent masturbation yet both are included. I can slightly rewrite them to make them a little more acceptable if there was a problem with them. You've also left in Wood Enderby, though I suppose that this doesn't actually say anything that might be considered rude. Seeing as "thrapping" wasn't included in the English Slang entry theddelthorpe must live on.

The Dancing Tree

I think my justification of what stayed and what went was largely due to what I thought was good and/or funny rather than tasteful. When I get a chance to re-edit this article I imagine some of the culled bits will be put back in again!

If there are more places that you think should be in / removed for whatever reason then let me know.

The wording might have been a bit long-winded but Theddlethorpe is an intrinsically funny word. I'll stick a bit on the forum re-wording it in time for the next revision.
