As grandmasterfluffles puts it, "My ex once told me, "That's the best sex I've ever had... Well, apart from with my cousin..."
What's the most tactless thing you've heard? And was it you saying it?

When you apply to uni, someone from your school gives you a reference, and you don't get to see it.
Mine was written by my housemaster*, and after many puzzled university interviewers, the chap at Bristol uni finally actually shared the element in it which had been puzzling all the others. After the usual stuff about academic achievements, he'd inexplicably added:
"Prince-igor has fluid morals."
No context, no justification. It didn't seem to harm my chances, and may actually have served to make me seem more interesting than I would otherwise have been. I still don't know whether I should hate him or thank him...
*Yes, yes I know, going to a boarding school makes me a hateful evil person like Boris or Dave. Except it doesn't because I went on scholarships and paid not a penny, from a household with no money, so actually I can hate you for your wealthy backgrounds. I take your financial-based morality, and turn it round on you, you overprivileged bastards...

Not everyone who goes to boarding school without a scholarship is a complete twat.

...but prevailing opinion seems to be that way. Honestly, with some people it would be more acceptable to mention that you used to abuse animals than went to a public school.

pisses me right off. Right. I went to a private school, therefore I'm an arsehole. Yeah, because I clearly had a fucking choice whether I wanted to sent to a private school or a public school. Yep - my parents would definitely have listened to my opinion and, at eight years old, I was clearly old enough to have actually developed an opininon of my own.
I worked long and hard at becoming an arsehole, and I'll be damned if my school gets to take any of the credit for that.

I read that as 'moral fluids'.
We must have gone to different sorts of boarding schools. . . .
