Gilbert and Sullivan, it is said, changed the title of their opera "Ruddygore" to "Ruddigore", due to claims that "ruddy" was too similar to the then-taboo curse word "bloody".

Gilbert's response to being told they meant the same thing was: "Not at all, for that would mean that if I said that I admired your ruddy countenance, which I do, I would be saying that I liked your bloody cheek, which I don't."

In 1990, teachers listed the top problems as: drug abuse, alcohol abuse, pregnancy, suicide and rape.”
