TO BOLDLY GO Doc Spock

Radar exposes the vulgar, lesser-known corners of our language—terms from those colorful sects headline writers fear and where William Safire dares not tread.

In this the first installment of Found in Translation, we present a tasty example ripped straight from the pages of the New York Times, that staid institution typically so shy of anything depraved, sexual, or scatological.

The Term:
Space docking
The Headline:
"Space Docking, With Women at the Helm"
