Ja, fixed it now. I tend to forget which punctuation marks don't work in spoiler headers.  The joke's not good enough for all the palaver, either. Sorry folks.

I enjoyed it. Probably because I've been an enlisted person in the military...

And Australians may use that word as a term of familiarity or affection, as in "How are you, you old b-? Haven't seen you for ages."

Exactly. I've heard my bosses give job references, "he's a good bastard, that."

Many years ago there was a movie about events during the Boer War where the British brought in Empire troops to help with the fighting. Some Aussie's got caught up in the death of a civilian. All trumped up evidence, a real crock 'O poop situation. End result was they were found guilty and sentenced to die by a firing squad of their own men. Final scene was the shooting. Just before the command was given to fire one of the sentenced ones calls out to his mates, "Do it right ya bastards".

 Truly a universal term of respect.

You might find interesting the death song made by one Harry 'Breaker' Morant, one of those set up as an'example' to the 'impertinent and insubordinate' Aussie soldiers, while he was awaiting execution. It is a classic example of bleak Australian humour. I can't do links but if you want to look it up, the first lines are:
'Here in my prison cell I sit
A deuced crestfallen chappie,
And own I find myself a bit
A little bit - unhappy.'

The punchline in Wavewright's joke is claimed to have originated as a genuine exchange during the infamous 'Bodyline' Cricket tour of Australia in 1932/33. Douglas Jardine, captain of the English team, went to the Australian change room to complain about being called the term in question by an Australian player. The Australian captain, Bill Woodfull, responded by asking his team the question (Jardine was apparently not impressed :))

From an Australian perspective the b word is being used in three clear, distinct ways here, which could be calqued as follows...

Which one of you [people who I regard as friends] is the [neutral term for person] that called this [neutral term for person] a [offensive slur]?

Oh! A cricket captain? That makes sense, isn't it fascinating how these stories transmogrify?

Paraphrased from the Drow Tales webcomic:

Kiel, "I had a feeling it was the big ugly coming back to bite my arse."
Diva,"What's plan B?"
Kiel, "Already did plan B"
Diva, "Plan C?"

I've been there...

A series of bad/good ones occurred in our RP Discord. This one particularly tweaked my head. I believe it was from Solokov.

What do you do if you're attacked by a gang of clowns?
