... that Londonderry's police were horney dicks?
- ALT1:... that Londonderry's police were horny dicks?

5x expanded by The C of E (talk). Self-nominated at 09:31, 12 January 2017 (UTC).

New enough and confirmed expanded 5x, QPQ done, all ¶ with citations, a copyvio check reveals no problems, hook content is verified with a citation to an offline reliable source in the article (AGF). This review is for the original hook only, because the term "horny dicks" as stated in ALT1 is not stated in the article; only "horney dicks" is. I have provided an alt below.

ALT2: ... that the Londonderry Borough Police were nicknamed the Horney Dicks?

I think alt2 wouldn't quite fit with the April Fools Day brief, therefore I'm happy to accept the review for the original hook. The C of E God Save the Queen! (talk) 20:33, 14 January 2017 (UTC)

I prefer ALT2, as it's less blatant and sexually suggestive compared to stating "these guys were horney dicks". After all, this is main page content. I prefer a more subtle approach here. The promoter can decide, as it's the same content, only reworded. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 22:20, 14 January 2017 (UTC)

I think the original hook is fine and ALT2 rather spoils the joke. Gatoclass (talk) 10:43, 12 March 2017 (UTC)

How about:
ALT3: ... that when urgent demands were thrust upon them, horney dicks flopped? Gatoclass (talk) 22:39, 12 March 2017 (UTC)
ALT4: ... that in Londonderry in the 1870s, there weren't enough horney dicks to satisfy demand? Gatoclass (talk) 11:42, 15 March 2017 (UTC)

Can you take a look at the new alts please EEng? Gatoclass (talk) 11:47, 15 March 2017 (UTC)

I am honored and humbled to have been selected for this important task. I hope I can rise to the occasion.

ALT5: ... that thrust into a difficult situation, the horney dicks failed to satisfy? [This refers to the 1869 inquirty/]

ALT6: ... that thirteen horney dicks were inadequate? [Looks like the nickname applied only after the early force of 13 was supplanted.]
