    I don't know about that. Stan and Muffy University is very big on image. Everyone who goes there is either a cheatin' athlete or a solid, first-class Republican or Republican to be.

    DMN likes "oral." (Take that as you wish.) We use "verbal."

    I really don't understand some editors' insistance on using "oral" over "verbal" in these cases -- but they are out there.

    What I don't get is, if SMU's coach discourages lesbian relationships, why is she recruiting them?

    I always write verbal. Our editors always change it to oral. The reason was verbalized to me once, but I didn't get it and still don't.

    Sounds like she's closeted.

    If the reason was oraled to you, you'd could have taken it to HR.
