Air Bender...England OOPS

[bcjammerx]

I was perusing some reviews of this movie to see if I wanted to pay $1 for the rental when it comes out...found this review ...

of The Guardian noted an unfortunate linguistic problem that reduced British viewers to "a state of nervous collapse". In British English the word "bender" is slang for a homosexual male, giving an entirely different meaning to lines such as "I could tell at once that you were a bender, and that you would realize your destiny."

if only that line had been "would release your destiny" as I thought it said at first

Does this mean we could say "bender" in place of *** ?

If you want to get banned, sure!


My friend's last name is Bender. She went to Ireland last year, and all the guys in the pub thought it was hilarious when she told them. They poured some fruity drink and named it "The Bender".

I never thought about the name of the movie being... entertaining.
