Okay, I don't have/want a cat so it wasn't until Pete started making his
warm and toasty references that I figured out that the censored word in
Kevin's post was "Heat", making the phrase in question, "Cat in Heat". At
least that makes more sense than "Hat", the first thing that came to mind.
Cross-cultural checking process: is even refering to the fact that
"sometimes animals get amorous" out of bounds in American public discourse
(like a primarily adult newsgroup)? I can think of at least two popular
tunes of recent years (Blood Hound Gang's "Discovery Channel" and Nine Inch
Nails' "Closer") that would require a bit of explaining if this were the case.
I hope to be moving Florida-wards sometime next year, so any help in basics
of American etiquette would be both useful and appreciated.
