twisted plz list here wich words cant be used and wich are dubious.

and for almost daily fotos

Any words that would generally be allowed in a G rated film are probably ok. (For those in other places, anything that as a parent you would feel comfortable with your children hearing when they are still before teenagers). Darn, heck, and blast are also generally considered safe. Any of the classic four letter words (starting with S and F most commonly) and variants should probably stay out of a general forum. Just my take on things. Mahray Darn it all to heck!

For something to do, try working in a primary school (elementry school for the Americans, I believe) for a while. Within hours your language becomes remarkably clean :)

guys, i'm serious, what's a piddle? drac

A piddle is a puddle...of urine!


cambert ( ) posted Tue, 08 February 2005 at 6:51 AM

Not just a puddle, it's pee generally, in a form that British children can talk about (does any other nationality use it?). I/you/we/they piddle; he/she/it piddles. Phrasal verb form, e.g. "I'm going for a piddle." In participle form can also be used as a derisory comment on smallness, e.g. "Look at this piddling little rise the boss gave me! Son of a ..." This place is so educational.

It's quite interesting to me how the seriousness of words varies across the atlantic. My wife thought "bloody hell" to us Brits was the worst thing we could say. I soon educated her. And the C word, although a bad word in the UK seems to be a major taboo in the US, at least in Indiana. Back in Tunbridge Wells, the F word was dropped in every third word, but over here, it's not used as much, and so has regained it's power. And in addition to Mahray's advice, try working in a secondary school for a while. Within hours your language becomes remarkably dirty. AND finally. Wasn't Piddle one of the firemen in Trumpton?

Dibble!! Hugh, Pugh, Barney McGrew, Cuthbert, Dibble and Grubb! If Trumpton had the kind of fires that Piddle could put out then it's a wonder they needed a fire brigade at all. Then again...no. Best not go there in a 'family friendly' discussion.

**'It'll never stand up in court,' I hear you cry, but stranger cases have flourished. I remember voicing much the same opinion a decade ago when John Ryan's solicitor threatened legal action against the newspaper I was then working for, after I had erroneously (and I stress erroneously) suggested that the characters he'd created for his Captain Pugwash series weren't quite as innocent as they'd first seemed back in the 1950s......The matter seemed trivial, but an apology was made, Mr Ryan's honour was satisfied and two sets of parasitical, low-life libel lawyers thus pocketed yet more easy (and thoroughly ill-deserved) dosh. ** My my, newspaper columnists get very sniffy when they're forced to apologise and pay damages for printing untruths, don't they?

"Piddle" here (East Tennessee) is used with the meaning "to waste time" usually in conjunction with "around". As in: Are you going to do any work, or are you just going to piddle around all day?

Pugwash - Urban myth it's true :-( But I like to spread the story of Roger the Cabin Boy. Pakled - You seen Eddie Izzaard? He did a whole thing about bollocks being bad, but the dogs bollocks being good.

The whole thing about swearing is that it makes no sense. A$$ and butt mean the same thing, so why do people freak out when someone says one or the other? It's like saying... some synonyms are BAD, even though the meaning doens't change at all! Kids'll hear it no matter what. I'm not saying I am going to swear, I never have on this board. I never saw a problem with it.

to be blunt ( wonder if thats ok to say :$) swearing like anything else (e.g. womens breasts in some countrys) is only subjuect to the culters uses of said words and how often any givin word is used. much like with broadcast tv, year after year they get away with just a hair more. and under normal sercumstances goes unnoticed. that is unless of course your a particular JACKSON and cant afford a good costume.


pogmahone ( ) posted Wed, 09 February 2005 at 1:21 AM

swearing/not swearing is a very cultural thing. Irish people swear an awful lot, but I make a big effort not to use bad language on a forum like this, because people from other countries and backgrounds wouldn't be used to the level of obscenity that is normal in Irish society. Anyone who's ever watched Father Ted will know what I mean - and a real-life Father Ted would be using language that's a lot stronger, it's been cleaned up for British audiences. Even at 11 o'clock in the morning, on our main radio station, presenters and phoners-in would routinely use the F word. It's mostly a question of politeness, though. Why swear if you're in the company of people you like, who will be made uncomfortable by swear words? My two cents' worth


TwistedBolt ( ) posted Wed, 09 February 2005 at 4:07 AM

Personally, I was amazed at all the language being thrown about lately...like some type of bomb went off or something...I hadnt been to the forum for 4 or 5 days and when I got back it was like everybody went off the deep end.I guess the threads that set a few off were deleted so I was sorta in the dark about the stuff going on but saw quite a few words being thrown around I wasnt aware we were aloud to say in the forum.I would probably cuss more if I knew it wasnt a bannable offence.No one really offended me....It just seemed odd or out of place.

Swearing has become so ingrained in everyday conversation especially with the kids it's hard not to swear & sometimes even frowned on when someone doesn't cuss or turn the air blue.

I've seen people almost die of fright when I've found the need to swear. I once mouthed off at a store manager and he went white!
