Why is the slang for testicles used to describe a mistake though. It's just a body part.

Imagine saying he's made a right kidney out of that or toe-nail.

I'm surprised the swear filter didn't kick in with some of the things you've just said, unacceptable...... ;)

That's it now then. Next time Conrad has a rush of blood, Martin can say "He's made a right Ovaltine of that"

I respect Martin's acceptance of the 'testicle slang word' being the grand old boy of ye olde English swearing and attempting to splice it in to his commentary.

The 'testicle slang word' is a noble, hearty and robust swear word. It's not a nasty attention seeking badboy; it's the cheeky, wink-wink mischievous lad's lad, life of the party swearer, likely to set off the fire extinguisher in the hotel corridor and get off with both WPC's when they turn up to arrest it.

Long live Horlicks!

I think it's about time we got rid of 'raspberry' for swear words and change them all to 'Horlicks' instead :D
