In my vain attempt finding this forum's TOS I happened upon the following bit of trivia. Since I don't remember seeing any words replaced astrisks, I thought I'd experiment with some words to try and discover what words are banned. fuck - f*ck fucker - f*cker fucked - f*cked fornicate - f*rnicate asshole - a$shole bunghole - b*nghole cunt - c*nt cock - c*ck shit - sh*t turd - t*rd crap - cr*p bullshit - bullsh*t fart - f*rt flatulence - fl*tulence Huffman - H*ffman If I missed a potentially censored word, please feel free to post it to this thread. (Don't worry, I won't tell on you if you don't tell on me.)
Bill, You left one out - politician - pol*tician (makes one want to have a bowel movement each time the word is pronounced.
Hmmm, it doesn't seem that any of the ones I picked are censored? I'm at a loss as to what words are censored?
Speaking of which, more or less, there is now circulating the story of the personal message delivered from Saddam Hussein to George Bush. It read: 37OHssV-0773H The CIA, military intelligence, etc. etc. spent weeks trying to decipher it, in vain. Then a 5-year-old child saw it, and said, "Oh, it's upside-down."

Reminds me of a guy from CompuServe who wrote me with a question. His username was 3M-TA3. When I asked him what it meant, he said, "Read it in a mirror."
Re: Re: Experiment - Cussing Up a Storm Now, now, this is a board on education, so you should be aware that the proper spelling is teats, pronounced with a long e sound.
Re: Re: Re: Experiment - Cussing Up a Storm Yeah, but that would really hose one of my favorite limericks: Lady Di said, "This is absurd! I'll show Charles who has the last word!" So to shake up the Brits, She uncovered her tits And flipped the Queen Mother the bird! Must I change "Brits" to "Breats"......?
In the preface to one of his books, Sinclair Lewis wrote that he had used "all eleven four-letter words" in his manuscript, and the publisher had eliminated all but 'damn' and 'hell.' Eleven?
...and then there was the time that the San Francisco Chronicle quoted some lowlife as saying, as they reported it, "That m****r was trying to kill me." There were some bemused letters to the editor based on that use of asterisks in a simple six-letter word.
Sinclair Lewis was American; so, omitting "arse", we have: 1. cock 2. crap 3. cunt 4. damn 5. fart 6. fuck 7. hell 8. piss 9. shit 10. turd 11. twat
