La bitte à l'attaque!

[pallas_athena]

I've recently joined a local fencing salle. Turns out fencing is just as much fun now as it was when I was sixteen. I'm taking the beginner's course, and it seems to be coming back gradually. This is mostly due to our excellent instructor, Jean-Christophe, and his outrrrrrrageous accent.

Tonight's session mostly involved the the beat attack, which involved Jean-Christophe using the word "beat" a lot with great urgency. In French, la bitte means something not polite at all, so I was grinning filthily beneath my mask. At one point he said it three times in a row, at high volume. I guess it's inevitable that I'll be thinking about cocks every time I make this attack now. But will this make my fencing better, or worse?

I hope you're right.

But I think the reverse might be true: penises are swords, but not all swords are penises.

Fair enough. Then this begs the question how penis-like is your sword? *wiggly eyebrows*
