Well, seeing as you brought up character names in "Blazing Saddles", can
anyone tell me how they got the name 'Lili Von Shtupp' past the censors?

Ummm - nobody knew what it meant? (I still don't - how about a clue?)

Fair request, so here is your clue: According to a Jewish ham buddy of
mine, 'shtupp' is the Yiddish word for 'f..k'. A later web search proved
he was correct.

With lots of Jewish folks in Hollywood (and maybe even some of the
censors), I'm sure somebody knew exactly what it meant and kept it in as
a sly joke. So, the next time you watch the movie, you heard it here
first. ;-)
