IT IS HARD FOR THEE TO KICK AGAINST THE PRICKS.

Stref:
languages change. In British English and in my home country New Zealand, which is fairly close to British English but diverging all the time the word PRICK, as a noun, has an extra meaning which is something quite obscene.

Its not a good idea to use an archaic word when the same word in modern has a totally different meaning even if it is alongside other more common meanings.

I have never seen this word appear with the meaning i am talking about in American English, but here in NZ, Australia and England it is obscene.

I wil tell you if you really dont know, which would prove my point, actually Wink

but maybe by PM. Seriously, even though i find it uproariously funny

Hello Stref,

I'm a little late on this but I wanted to add my 2c2. Let me ask you this, is there a library in the town you live in and if so do they have a copy of "Moby Dick"? Have they taken it off the shelves yet? Get my drift? Biggrin
