My Grandfather told me the story of when the family tried to get him to be Refined. They told him that he needed to clean up his language. Every time he used the word “sh!t” they would hiss at him. “No, no! You need to use Manure instead!” Eventually he switched his speech pattern to using Manure. But… of course… that was Dignified enough for family. “No, No! You need to use Fertilizer instead!” He frowned at the family and replied, “Ah… Sh!” And he stuck with the original word! ;)

This reminds me of an old Get Smart exchange:
99: (looking at chasm) How far is it to the bottom?
86: (looks down) About a half a mile.
99: If we take a good running jump, how far do you think we can go?
86: About a half a mile.

You would have known how far it is to the bottom if you had read the Cliff Notes…
