Yes, I was wondering on reading this thread

Spelled backwards it would be "sin", which,
at that time could easily refer to both the
original sin of Eve and also the sin of the
sodomite--i.e. not just a *** but a gay
one at that.

According to the script, it is spelled 'niss', so spelled backwards, gives 'ssin'.

The remainder of your comment assumes a belief in certain myths, or at least a
belief in the possibility of 'sin'. It is most revealing that you assume that
sodomites are born of unmarried parents.

You're projecting. You're inferring what
I didn't imply. And these kinds of values
are entirely par for the course in such
environments as Approved Schools, not that
I ever attended one so much as have conversed
with people who did and who've spent time in
prison in different eras.

The context which you gave was a '60s working
class environment and the interpretation I
offered says more about the possible values
the author wished to convey than about mine.

There is no mention of bastards as a
topic of this thread.

Perhaps you should consult a therapist concerning your own suppressed
inclinations, and I do not possess suitable qualifications to suggest more than
that.

Yet you've come back at me a few times with a
strong Mental Health aspersion. If you don't
have the qualifications then I suggest you
don't bother worrying your imagination about
trying to make analyses you're clearly not
capable of making.

I doubt if you are in a position to know if the script writer held any of those
beliefs; the character saying the word certainly did not.

I haven't seen the show, I haven't read the
script. You excerpted. I offered options that
nobody else had. You threw them back in my
face. This says more about you than I ever
would.

The remainder of your post was merely irrelevant.
