Well there is the phrase that will get me funny looks in my morning meeting today.
BOT: Should it surprise anyone that a book would get the hook in a typical American school library?
To Kill a Mockingbird is the one that as I've said before amazes me most. But because it discusses rape and the word nigger is used, many seem to equate it as promoting violent sex acts and racism.
In this case, I'd doubt any child is going to be traumatized any more by the use of the word scrotum than they would had the word balls been used. In fact I think balls is less offensive than the parent that can't discuss anatomy with their child and will instead use the term "private parts".
