Toads are actually a subspecies of frog, so they’re technically correct - even if by accident.

England - never been a line. The only thing I’ve ever had to wait for is for the bod manning the polling station to find my name on the list and hand me a voting slip. In and out in a couple of minutes.
It comes from bonehead, iirc - a boneheaded mistake.

I saw an early screening of that episode at a post-con event at a Star Trek pub in London.
When that scene came on a ripple of ‘FFS - really‽’ laughter went round the room, just because of how blatant it was.
You joke, but crop milk is a thing:
Crop milk is a secretion from the lining of the crop of parent birds in some species that is regurgitated to young birds. It is found among all pigeons and doves where it is also referred to as pigeon milk. Crop milk is also secreted from the crop of flamingos and the male emperor penguin, suggesting independent evolution of this trait. Unlike in mammals where only females produce milk, crop milk is produced by both males and females in pigeons and flamingos; and in penguins, only by the male. Lactation in birds is controlled by prolactin, which is the same hormone that causes lactation in mammals.
I bet he drinks Carling Black Label.
I suspect that they were trying to reference the ‘bright young things’ of the 1920s. I doubt anyone at M&S even considered that:

(b) what it may seem like without the context.
