As an undergrad comp sci student, one of my favorite professors was a scottish gentleman by the name of Robin Popplestone. I used to visit his office just to chat. One day we were talking about something, maybe the Church-Turing thesis, when I, in a momentary lapse of memory, blurted out "uh... the gay dude... Turing!" My professor, in perfect British understatement: "The. Gay. Dude. Hmmm."
