Harry: Polymorphic servants of evil, procreating (brother and sister!) in the darkness, and a demonic gestation period of from-dusk-till-dawn. TWO THUMBS UP

Pol: Harrymorphic ... no wait. Penis names. Depends on if it's narration or the characters talking about it themselves. If it's narration, then you are bound by your publisher's guidelines, and If It's Art, you can go over these boundaries. Ref. soft porn vs hardcore porn. I have found that the most offensive material doesn't have to mention items or body parts explicitly: Ref. the `squicking' fiction available at quality establishments such as the Church of the Subgenius. If the characters are talking about their willies, then you have to imagine what names they might have for their bits, which might fall into categories such as class, education, and ego. "Ma wee bebeh broom", as opposed to "Sir Whack-a-lot". This has been a community service announcement.
