I can imagine;
faxing serf tenancy agreements and decrees regarding the grazing of oxon on the village common.

A pox on you Pipex, a pox!

The county of Oxfordshire will not fit on the village common.
Not with all the oxen already on there.

It's your lack of resistance that is saving the English language

Hehe, whilst the French have an entire government body set up to protect their language
All we have is the shady vigilante mob, known in common parlance as the League of B3tan Pedants.

It has history and grammar punnage: what's not to like?

it's not taking the piss out of anyone

Dr Watson arrives at the door of 221b Baker Street
let's himself in and proceeds to the drawing room. On entering he sees Sherlock Holmes with a young boy. The boy is naked, bent over and Holmes is smearing lemon curd around his arsehole.

Watson cries "Holmes, what the dickens are you doing?"
to which Holmes replies "Lemon entry my dear Watson"
