This name changing has gone too far. But I couldn't help adding two more 'What's in' and 'What's out' entries to Kunda Dixit's hilarious Under My Hat ('Right royal mess', #297):
What's in What's out
Royal Drug Black Substance
Crown prince Clown prince

.Banning the word 'king' by the proponents of the rhododendron revolution is going to have unforeseen consequences. Stray dogs will be banned from bar-king at night. Streets will look wider with no vehicles par-king at either side. Drin-king and smo-king will be banned. Child span-king will be outlawed. Even pic-king of nose in public will be deemed illegal. Trek-king with be replaced with mountaineering and skittles in bowling alleys will be widowed without their king-pins. Restaurants will serve shrimps in lieu of king prawns and fowls in place of chicken a la king. The lure of the kingdom of Nepal will change because they can no longer share a king-size bed.
