Just let it go. If you decide to make a thing of it the whole tone of this easygoing thread will change.

Besides, it's a favourite quote thread, hardly an area for a serious sailing topic.
Churchill was known for his incisive wit and wisdom at a time when an opinion could be expressed without cowering under the lash of political correctness. The days when a spade was still a spade.

One boating one I heard:
