My wife is a primary school teacher, and related this tale after another class returned from a trip to a working farm: My wife asked little David if he had enjoyed the trip. "Yes it was great - we saw sheep, horses, goats, and f***ers." Wife: "er, fine, fine. I know what the sheep and the rest are, but what is a f***er?" David: "Oh, they're the animals that give us milk" Wife: "but who said they were called, er, f***ers?" David: "that was our teacher. Well actually she called them "effers," but we all knew what she meant."
