    Oh, don’t worry. If you hadn’t given it to them, one or ten of your fucking rellies did anyway and had no clue of the implications either.

      I want to upvote this, but … Why did you have to shorten “relatives”?

          Maybe.

          I’m only familiar with the term “BSc” from Red Dwarf, wherein it’s eventually revealed to mean “bronze swimming certificate”; however, from the context of the joke in the novel (and I think the show, don’t remember for sure), I assume it has some more impressive meaning in other uses.

          Given the origins of that series, I was guessing British, but that doesn’t limit it much. My cultural ignorance is preventing me from forming a meaningful theory.

          edit: I’m sorry, I thought this was a response to another comment I made, making my response 100% irrelevant. Please feel free to disregard.

          edit 2: Though I guess the last line of my unedited comment still applies.

              Thank you for the information!

              Also, I infer from your response that you also remember that part of Red Dwarf, which is awesome.
