    I don't think we should be bloody swearing at all! It's a pretty crappy world we live in if you can't get through a damn sentence without a poxy curse. For Gods sake!

    Sorry, I just couldn't flipping help myself.

    I agree with OP. We're a pretty intelligent lot who use these boards, and should be able to get our point across without resorting to swearing.

    The word crap can mean many things. One of the meanings is to be useless or nogood. Some may consider the word relates to defacation. To others it is related to a dice based gambling name of craps/ crap shoot. The term crap realates to a roll that fails to win.
    Thomas crapper was Queen Victoria's plumber. He did not invent the 'toilet' but he must have been an expert in the technology.
    Many happy returns to Her Majesty.

    "Crap" is about as offensive as "rubbish" or "stupid".

    Isn't there an MSE filter which blocks all naughty words? :confused:
    Anyway - crap is an acronym for Canadian Reform Alliance Party.......apparently. Gives HM a wonderful opportunity to say to politicians "Hello, you must be crap" instead of just thinking it. :j
