I'm sorry the thread went silly. I emailed John privately with my concerns. The only definition I could find online for "whock" was:
Used as an rude, nasty, and extremely offensive and racist term to describe a person of Caucasian descent. It's literal meaning is an ignorant, low-grade, White person. "you ain't nothing but a Whock to me."
Even though I think it might have been posted by a solitary troll, 'avin' a larf (as we say here) I assumed anyone else with any curiosity would find it too, and we'd be off in a direction of sickening flagwaving and tub-thumping and hurt and misery. I assumed that others were wittily attempting to avert such a situation and I blessed them for it.
As so often, I have misunderstood and I apologise.
I'll get me coat...
