Dear Jack, Maybe there could be some balance between the "childish things" and the reasons for them away (tho' maybe not, I don't know.) My knowledge of the French language mostly, um, isn't - I know this makes me an uneducated, uncivilized person, or worse, but c'est la vie.
I know nothing about the replace of the word "n-bomb" (I presume that means neutron bomb) with "hipster" or where this change is circulating but it sounds very odd. Rather like the LARP I participated in at a con where we were instructed to use the word "kazoo" when referring to the in-game bomb that was integral to the plot of the M.I.T. Society of Interactive Lit game we were playing, so as not to alarm the hotel staff or other patrons. (This was post 9/11.) LOL, what people must think when they overhear gamers talking!
