Changing my Grammar

I think I'm a bit lost here.
How the F word gets to be less offensive than any of the words which got passed the filter in whatever form I don't know. As far as I'm concerned that word is just about the top of the league. There's one to go - and it's creeping in.
None of it has anything to do with grammar - just dirty, offensive language.

 

Hello Alice. Lovely to see you back!

Some of the words which the filter gets upset about do seem a little odd. For instance, one is not allowed to call a cigarette a f a g. I understand that the word could be used in an offensive way but I seriously doubt that anyone on GC would ever do so, or that the filter would deter anyone who was going out of their way to be insulting. 'S l u t' doesn't upset me unduly; I bet many more colourful words would make it through the filter with no problem at all.

 

Slag, something to do with coal mining.

 

Ah yes, the partially vitreous by-product of smelting ore. :D

 

I was thinking more of "heaps"

 

Tart: sharp or pungent in taste. Alternatively, a pastry dessert.

 

Sod this, I'm getting some turf.

 

Its because its an American filter, we are divided by a common language.

 

A pair of blue tits. Quick, get the binoculars and an electric blanket!

 

Hello Alice and it is nice to see you back and hope all is well with you. I was thinking of you earlier today when I saw your scrumptious sweetcorn picture come up on the Random Album Pictures ... I could have murdered one with some butter and black pepper.

But, to the subject, I appreciate after I posted the thread 'grammar' was not the word I should have used but, as you know, you cannot change a thread title after posting ... my mistake! :DOH: And I should wash my mouth out with soap also ... .... perhaps it's because it is the American filter because in America, where I lived for 20 years, the unmentionable word I used beginning with a 'p' means angry whereas in the UK I think it means one has overly imbibed?

 

The dreaded p-word can mean either over here, Vicky. When my sons say 'Mum is p****', they generally mean that I'm furious that they've left a mess everywhere, rather than indicating that I'm inebriated. But it could equally refer to over-consumption.

Now, if we could only find a way of editing thread titles ... that WOULD be useful.

 

It only means , overly imbibed, if used on its own.

If you put "off" after it, it means, "not very happy"

 

Ah, Pete, you're showing your age. Get wiv de hip an cool, man. These days, when people are angry/upset, they're just p*****. Why waste another word when you could be playing X-Box?
