Ding

So, one of my friends/coworkers/show helpers works with a blind autistic boy during the day.

He recently got taken off the special school bus because he was acting out and kept yelling out "fuck it!", which actually comes out more like "fuckit!" (said really fast in a low angry voice).

Every time the kid would swear, another special needs kid would ring the bell on the bus. So the poor bus driver had to listen to a cacophony of:

Fuckit! *ding* Fuckit! *ding* Fuckit! *ding*


So we don't swear around the children when things go wrong at the theatre, we have decided to adapt and adopt this in our lingo. So, if you happen to be at the show tonight, and you hear someone backstage yelling "DING!", that'll be me.
