Talk:Gerald Bostock

Stub?
I don't think this article is a stub -what else can be written? Gerald Bostock is a fictional character whose story is featured on a fictional newspaper that is actually the cover art of a concept album. Any further info needed can be found in the article for the album. So I suggest we remove the stub thing Ozkaplan 08:16, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

The Mystery Word Being 'Goer'...?  That's a New One...
My friends and I were big fans of this album back in the '70s, and I can remember that it was generally assumed that the four-letter mystery word mentioned in this article was simply 'gear'--gentle British (and Atlantic Canadian) slang for genitalia, especially that of men and boys. The whole satirical joke was interpreted as a send-up of just how old-fashioned, petty and conservative the British establishment could be over a child using such a slightly foul term.142.162.65.109 17:29, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

No it obviously is "gutter"
because "gutter" is in the lyrics, and it also means "genetalia" as in the song's line "your sperm's in the gutter, your love's in the sink" —Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.30.192.187 (talk) 11:32, 21 October 2008 (UTC)


 * There are two underscores. The cover art newspaper ends with "Many of the viewers' complaints were centred around "Little Milton's" use of a four letter (Continued on Page 4, Col.6)". I say obviously it's not "gutter". The lyric don't contain anything that fits (closest would be "geared"). I'm not even sure there is a word, some people say Anderson was just messing with our heads. 79.226.10.226 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 02:22, 3 December 2011 (UTC).

A foreigner's question
So "Homeless" is an "Occupation" in GB (or wherever this article was written)? Interesting.
