I know that this is way, way, way off topic, but I feel compelled to share this with you. Any one else wonder why it is that words such as ****, ****, **** and ****er are banned (see what I mean!), whereas words such as piss, arse and twat are not? Also, what about flaps, beef-curtains, penis, bell-end and smeg-head? Surely, a case can be made for their banning? Is it really any less offensive to say, for example, of the Chavs that their team is arse than ****? It might be of interest to some of us to explore the philosophy at work, here.
I work in a primary school with year one kids .... 5 and 6 yr olds....we couldnt down load a picture of a bird to showthen because the firewall deemed it offensive...the bird we wanted to show the kids is a peacock! FFS!
Beef-curtains ?. What a beef-curtain, Hoddle? I mean forgive my ignorance but I dodn't think I've ever heard of them.
It's all bollocks! Then, of course, there is the age old conundrum, which still remains unanswered. Who did put the "****" in Scunthorpe?
What about axe-wound? Or staff (as in, "I'd like to impale that little lovely on the end of my massive staff)? Meat truncheon, that's another one. For example:- PESKIE: "HIAG, can you say anything that isn't utter wummery?" HIAG: "Yes. Now, suck on my meat truncheon, Goon!" Love-sacks could also be offensive, in the wrong hands. As in, "Lawro does talk a complete load of love-sacks." Which ever way you look at it, we are contemplating a vulgarism minefield, here, people.
Now Chaps, I like a good fry-up as much as the next man, but I'm not into the brown source,. You dig..., Oh, I mean do you understand.
Well done, Bajan. Oh, by the way, you do realise that banjo is more than capable of being a naughty word? As in, "I reckon you're a bit of a banjo-strummer, mate."
