Ivanwhore
The original name of the 1819 historical novel by Sir Walter Scott about a brave, loyal, Saxon whore before his editor suggested he make the novel about a knight rather than a male whore. When Walter protested, his editor is reported to have said, "I shortened the title by two measly letters. Just change the action from cocksuckling to swashbuckling and we'll be good to go."
When the boy said he wanted to read the book Ivanhoe, his teacher suggested, "you may want to read the original story Ivanwhore first, but your parents will have to sign a permission slip."
