So Cursitor Doom doesn't get my jokes. The "hilarious" claim in the 
original subject line makes it fairly clear that Cursitor Doom's sense 
of humour isn't up to much, so one can deduce that he can't detect 
anything subtle.

Calling his "joke" "12-year-old-school-boy smut" was calling it puerile.

Puerile is low-frequency word, and using it is a bit pretentious, but 
that's our Cursitor Doom.
