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.

If you think so.
I agree you did not imply anything because what you wrote was explicit, not implicit. I had no need to infer.
I think your 'original sin of adam and eve' and '*** but a gay one' are quite clear and require no projection by the reader.


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.


Did I give that context?
I hope not because it is not relevant.


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.


There is no aspersion there, nor any reference to your mental health.
I will admit to borrowing from Shakespeare, but doesn't everyone?


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.


Not really.
Your frequent references to christian deities, non heterosexual persons, etc. say more than enough about you. I merely throw a club at your balls as you serve them.
