I was that someone at a company in the early 2000s. I can confirm that it was, in fact, fun.
A coworker and I came up with every offensive word we could think of over a few days. Then, on Friday afternoon, we shared a 6 pack and got really inventive.
I'd imagine the list is still kicking around that company somewhere and hope it is our eternal legacy.
One early 80s morning the DJs read an alphabetical list of all the names for boobs. My god. It went all morning long.
Here's 300. They had far more!
"Top Bollocks?" What a shiitake.
