I didn't want to say anything about that, but now that the ice has been
melted....
I remember way back in 19-bow and arrow, when I was in high school (can't
always remember what happened yesterday, 'though) going into a store and
asking for a church key and being told, "We don't call them that around
here." I don't think I had ever thought about the derivation of the name
before that, let alone thought that anyone could be offended by it. Didn't
stop me from using the expression, however.

"Church Key"? Man o Man, Herb--dating yourself--I remember when church
keys
used to be crucial equipment--right up there with a steering wheel and a
brake pedal. Then they came along with "pop tops" and alas, I bet the
youngsters never heard of a "church key"!!
