What name did the scufflers call each other?

"Queer," "faggot," "fag," and "homo" were the most popular responses, with many contestants surmising the offending name was a slur on one's manhood. Which, in fact, it was.

But a rather wimpy one at that. The name the two scufflers called each other was, er, "wimp."

Congratulations to our lucky winner, whose e-mail moniker, "Professor Roy of the Amazingly Bad Poetry Journal," says a lot. Just so you know, this lousy writing happens in Portland, Oregon, an otherwise marvelous literary town.
