>From the Acknowledgments of 'The Best Awful':
'For Tracey and Johnny -- thank you both so ['so' itals] -- bullocks -- much
for your continued -- tits tits tits -- support. Without the two of you --
cockring -- these lingering coughs would be more difficult to -- wanker --
bear.'
--Carrie Fisher, 'The Best Awful', 2004 (Pocket Books, London, 2005, XIV)
It would seem that euphemism is unlikely, given the context and use of
swearwords throughout the novel.
As for a typo, the only one I found was when reindeers Donner and Blitzen
were referred to as Donder and Blitzen.
So is it LA pronunciation?
--Neil Crawford
