Come on. It's just a term of endearment. I would consider anyone who has a bitched oil drain plug hole in a Vanagon and who, apparently, is not used to dealing with such calamities, a poor bastard. I also have enough compassion for him not to send him down a path to nowhere.

I've had my mouth washed out by the best of them, with Oxydol no less (thanks, Mom), and I still believe in free speech, so, please don't saddle me with the limitations placed on Joy's lexicon.

Enough of this sidebar -- how do you repair the hole?
