    Yeah, I thought that was the expression, although he might have meant
    boers (same pronounciation as boors). On the other hand, "vile boars"
    gives only one single search result when including the quotes.

    I believe this is the first time the phrase "vile boars" has been used
    on RBR.

    Sure it isn't a drug reference and he meant "vial bores?"
