As an Australian who has never studied Agatha Christie in any context, I literally had no clue what the censored word was.

Be careful when you make blanket statements like “we all knew what the book was”, because you’ll almost always be confidently incorrect.

I’m a nerd for… not knowing that a book exists? Weird, but okay I guess.
You are speaking to a tankie. They are confidently incorrect pretty much by definition.
