Ok, so #obscene can mean offensive and Sherlock has a bit of knack for that. The bottom quote is canon from The Hound of the Baskervilles - expressing a desire for someone‘s skull if a little odd and potentially offensive. The top quote is from the Cumberbatch version and is very close to something Doyle wrote. It‘s a wonder John stayed friends with him! #Quotsy #QuotsyJune18 #LitsyQuoteChallenge

"...and then it would be 5 a.m. and the city guards would be respectfully knocking on the University gates and asking if the Archchancellor would care to step down to the cells to identify some alleged wizards who were singing an #obscene song in six-part harmony, and perhaps he would also care to bring some money to pay for all the damage. Because inside every old person is a young person wondering what happened." #QuotsyJune18
Sorry, Mom. This was the first thing I thought of for the prompt.
The first lines are the only thing not obscene in this story.
Read the reviews before the story, that may be enough for you. People faint reading this story. You‘ve been warned. Seriously warned.

You know what‘s really obscene? Talking about a telephone directory in 2018. 😆 😝 #quotsy #quotsyjune18 #obscene

It's been so long (an obscenely long time some might say! 😆😉) since I've read the book that I can't quite remember the context for this quote but it works for today's prompt. 👍
"There is something powerful in the whispering of obscenities, about those in power. There's something delightful about it, something naughty, secretive, forbidden, thrilling. It's like a spell, of sorts. It deflates them, reduces them to the common denominator where they can be dealt with."
