Like your reply, it's called alliteration, as in 'seventy senseless censors'.
A phatic is a practically meaningles phrase or particle, such as 'Good morning': it could mean you wish your interlocutor a good morning, or that it is a good morning (for either, both or everybody), or a dismissal to an unwanted person, or any number of other unspoken concepts. More often it is used to cover the conversational awkwardness most humans feel on encountering a stranger.

I imagine most of us are safe then. I don't regard most of the abpove listed acts as normal in a relationship. I will be in Spain next month, anything goes over there, censorship of the "arts" is actually illegal under their constitution.

However in the last vid shop I looked at we had men with Alsatians opposite the Walt Disney stuff, clearly visible to children. Now that is offensive.
