Just for the record, a female dog is a b-word and if used in the proper context would not be an issue for a newbie. However, we would expect an older established poster who knows this could be an issue avoded by just saying female instead to make things simpler by making the change. The same goes for the creative titles/sayings Siber liked to use in relation to the cockfighting threads which generated some confusion with other less appropriate terms. So when in doubt err on the side of caustion and make everyone's life that much easier.

In case you need a reference on the subject .... if the dictionary has it listed as VULGAR, it probably is not a good choice of words, yes there are other definitions which are not listed as vulgar, but there are proper contexts which require their use and this was not one of those contexts.

Keeping the off-topic thread going.......

What exactly are you going to ban ?

a) Swear words such as damn and other curses

b) Slang such as the 'F' word

c) Words with more than one meaning other than the acceptable eg bitch

d) Insulting/libellous eg Liar

e) Ass, as pertaining to the end of the alimentary canal

f) Or any word you don't like the sound of



Maybe we ought to find some foreign words...like Dorfdumkopf (spelling ?) , schweinhund etc... ?

When I joined this forum I was a little bit annoyed at the frequent use of the word ' ass ', but got used to it. The word is used over here in the context of ' silly ass ' which likens the person to the donkey...ie foolish.
Personally, the words I take great exception to are the 'F' word, Liar and bitch referring to a female human.

On the whole, I find this forum quite mild as to the everyday language witnessed in Public Houses when men get talking together.

You moderators certainly have your jobs cut out, but for goodness sake don't let this forum become one for namby-pambies or the Politically correct factions.

Just a thought re. double meanings...

If the word 'bitch ' is banned you must also ban the words 'dog' , pig , cow etc.
