I've never had a "Grink" from a coconut.
Is that a Jamaican word?

I rule that a gockle of geer is indeed a smutty innuendo and therefore fully on topic.

No - but, interestingly, they do appear to eat beer can on toast for breakfast.

So what is with this thread? Is this where people come to swear or something and what's with the "Off Topic" stuff? Do you get in trouble if you wander off topic?
