Default If a geezer can't call a bird a bird what can he call a bird?

...Check the Czech play, "Ptakovina"...


Can you elaborate? Google provides 600 hits to that word, none of them
in english.

The English translation of the title, complete with double-entendre, is, : "May
I show you my bird?" Ptak is Czech both for generic bird and for cock.
However "Ptakovina" literally means a joke, a trick.
