Don't you remember being asked not to post naked [Youtube] links?

Ah well.

Okay, This is a YouTube link that you need to click if you want to activate it.

Does that make things more understandable?

We all understand that it's a YouTube link.
If you don't give us a hint about its content, many won't bother with
it. I know I won't

No hint other than the title, you mean? "You Tube: The Greatest Raid of
All: (BBC)".

Perhaps your newsreader wilfully suppresses all titles? The Two Ronnies
have left a literary equivalent to that:

First, the title tells us nothing except that it concerns a raid. What
raid? Police raiding a meth lab? SWAT raiding a terrorist cell?

Second. You might try giving us context that pertains to AuE. Do you
have a question about the usage of a word, phrase or sentence in the
video? Do you have a comment on same? If neither of those, WTF are you
posting the link for?

BTW, thanks for that link, I did visit it because I enjoy their comedy,
but more importantly, you provided some context for it.

In case you have not figured out what KM,J meant by 'naked link', he
means a link without context.

Whether or not to open a link, when posted in this newsgroup, depends
on who originates the message as far as I'm concerned. I'll open
"naked links" from RRs, but not from certain posters. There some
single Rs here. Regular, but not Respected if "Regular" is defined as
"Frequent".

To me "tube" here suggests a squeezable container, probably plastic,
like the ones used for toothpaste. I would expect the kinds of
insecticides that Raid produces to come in aerosol spray cans.
(I'm not aware of one with the exact name "Raid Insect Killer",
though.) I'm curious what Ken had in mind.

RAID is a brand of bug spray sold in the US. It is probably the best
known brand due to their advertising. This is a TV ad from the 1970s:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iZnUkhuZPmg

Their present commercials are much the same, with cartoon bugs. They
still use the "Kills Bugs Dead" line.

"Tube" is not, I agree, the term to be used. A "can" of RAID would be
better, but I think it now also comes in plastic bottles with pump
sprayer.

Like all Floridians, we have a can of bug killer in the house, and it
is RAID.

Yes, I would expect the same.

The only reason I jocularly wrote "tube" (admittedly an inaccurate
word) was because of the subject line of the thread.
