The Enlightenment made explicit what had long been implicit in the intellectual life of Europe: the belief that rational inquiry leads to objective truth. Even those Enlightenment thinkers who distrusted reason…never relinquished their confidence in rational argument…For the ensuing 200 years, reason retained its position as the arbiter of truth and the foundation of objective knowledge…But reason is now on the retreat, both as an ideal and as a reality. - Roger Scruton, 1999

How are you not tempted to reply with something silly such as "falsies?" It's close enough to the real thing that when brought up in conversation it would probably take the listener a couple of seconds to realize the speaker is using the wrong word.
Of course I'd take it a step further and claim that in the United States, these are what's known as "Butt-Plugs." You should see the "Butt-Plug-Removers."
Might be funny, Pigman, except that lawyers generally abandon their senses of humour when they are working. And clients don't like jokes in binding agreements.
Things that gypsies steal when they are given a new flat from the government.
