CADOC: I want to describe someone. If I say 'He's a she' then that'll be wrong since a he can't be a she. If I use 'She's a she' I'll be doing this...errr...
HEDDY: Tautology?
CADOC: Yes exactly. Tautology.
HEDDY: Why don't you say 'It's a she'? That's better right?
CADOC: No...I can't use that. She'll think I'm using offensive speech since 'it' is used for things. She just started learning English. She broke her teacher's jaw because she took an expression literally.
