The term "crappy, backstabbing magician" is to be removed from the 2009 edition of the Urban Dictionary when referring to Thomas Churchwell. The new official term will be "Censorship fiend who wants to be like Hitler."
The term "crappy, backstabbing magician" is to be removed from the 2009 edition of the Urban Dictionary when referring to Thomas Churchwell. The new official term will be "Censorship fiend who wants to be like Hitler."Churchwell is said to be relieved that the phrase "crappy, backstabbing magician" will be dropped, since rumors of his ever having been a magician were greatly exaggerated. The Urban Dictionary's editor said that while still appropriate, "crappy, backstabbing magician' was overshadowed this year by Churchwell's name being linked to censorship.
"We bandied several names around," said dictionary spokesman Charles Q. Wordsmith, "but we decided on 'Censorship fiend who wants to be like Hitler', since everyone knows who that means."
Other descriptions in the running included 'Liar King,' ''Misogynist Man,' 'Pickpocket who wants to be like Fagin,' and nicknames that already are familiar to the blogosphere: 'Tarball,' 'Upchurch,' and 'Churchhell.'
Meanwhile, the Turkish government is demanding that the word 'turkey' - used to describe a large poultry bird raised for food - be removed from the dictionary and replaced with 'Big Chicken - but more expensive'.
