-->Moody created the portkeys to respond to the nonsense phrase 'artichoke grim', working off the assumption that those two words wouldn't normally be used together in a typical conversation.\\

"It's like the 'safe words' muggles use, for their sex games and such," Moody had said. Then, blushing fiercely, he had absolutely refused to explain just how he knew about such things, other than, "I just hear things, all right?"

Rated M For Manly is about works, not characters


A trope wherein a character delivers some advice or information relating to a field which it would be [[ShamefulSourceOfKnowledge incredibly embarrassing or contrary to their public image to know]]. For instance, [[RatedMForManly Mannfred M. Manly]] informs you on the plot of the latest ''Franchise/MyLittlePony'' episode, or [[TheIngenue Miss Chastity [=McInnocence=]]] blurts out directions for Amsterdam's red light district. Whatever the subject and whomever the person, they then try to cover up their association with it by appending "Or So I Heard", "or so I've been told", "I read it in an article", etc.

'''Harry:''' Yeah its too creepy to be a good make out spot and security checks on the place too often for any of the potheads to do any growing there. Or so I've heard.
