What are some things you like but tend not to admit liking out of fear you'll be castigated?

Usually when I ask this kind of question I go first as a gesture of hospitality. But here my naked motive is that I want to castigate someone. Will it be you or must a stranger suffer?

Relatedly, how fucking great a word is "castigate"? It's a shame it means castigate. Rather than casting a gate across a fence, which is maximum punk rock. Because we think of casting as an offhand gesture. To toss aside a gate requires great strength. As well as disdain for bystanders. Perhaps it is this that attracts me about the word and makes me want to castigate you.

I wrote this after finding out people tend to hate Tenacious D: The Pick of Destiny. I refuse to say whether I agree with them.

Anyone who reads this and does not respond runs a risk they can probably guess.

I don't think I've ever heard any Yes. But weirdly remember they had cachet in my part of the middle 90s. Ditto for lip readings. I will try these sometime. Until then linger under the Castigation of Damocles!

Wendy's for me. Seems marginally more foodlike, something they based an ad campaign on. MacDonalds hash browns make me salivate when mentioned though.
