QOTD

Herr Doktor Bimler:

So which plural is correct — dildos or dildi? This spell-checker doesn’t like either, and my Inner Pedant needs to know. Also, if you encounter a large number of them, is there a collective noun?


Also:

Moreover, I have to say that “mechanical asphyxia” sounds like some variety of early calculator.

What are these things on your desk, Herr Doktor?

Oh, just a couple of mechanical asphyxia I bought when the University was clearing out the storeroom. I know you get the same results from an electronic asphyxium, but it doesn’t have the same charm.
