Subject: NADS Is Now Obscene



Now that "nads" is a commonly heard reduction of "gonads," I kind of

chuckle every time I run across our beloved newsletter (_Newsletter of the

American Dialect Society_) with its bold-faced acronym _NADS_ staring up at

me out of the chaos of my desk.



I need a day off.
