That, in my view, is what now should be censored due to its corruption by something else when broadcast on the radio. In 1990, prior to all this happening, I never associated "ish", as in meaning "approximately" with the word they have replaced. Now, after numerous and numerous occasions of replacement over the many years, almost everytime I see "ish" I think of the 'swear'word. I never used to. It is now so associated and referrant to it as to have the same and more offence. Except that the original word doesn't have that offence (usually). An example of both the dysphemism and euphemism treadmills in action.

Sorry ......

But it does see it if you spell it as !!!!!y (****ey)

Oh, for god's sake go away!:rotfl::rotfl:

That first one, with the exclamations, is a women's pudenda. The second is now the top-level "C" word. (In a new derivative that I've never seen before:T:rotfl:.) Really good job that neither of those words offends me in this context. (Namely, the context of seeing them on this MSE forum, rather than the context of them being exclamationed/ asterisked.)

Did you mean something less severe on both occasions?;):think::rotfl:

Well I googles pudenda, and it is all new to me, it all means !!!!!! to me.

It's because it detects the five-letter version of !!!!!! truncated, even though the five-letter is generally seen as much less 'offensive' even with the 'y' on the end, yet does not detect the actual four-letter of the same thing even when it has "ty" on the end. I think - this actually tells us nothing, other than that the system is ineffective and inconsistent. (Which is what we already knew - tells us nothing we didn't already know.) They always target minor words whilst letting through more severe ones.

Don't. That's enough of that!:rotfl: It can have a cumulative effect, apparently, and of what nature and why is wholly a mystery to me.

No need to apologise.


It's just those corrupting radio edits:rotfl::rotfl::D:rotfl:.

(And...they thought they were being "clean" did they? )

You agree with me then? Does the same nowadays happen to you?

E.g. if I say "I'll be there around six-ish". Always makes me think of six and then ess-aitch-eye-tee! Or I am just being autistic again there?

NB: For those not in the know - I have to do this just in case someone happens to stumble, somehow, on this part of this thread and totally unawares - I have Asperger's syndrome, a condition on the autism spectrum. So - get lost!!:p:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::cool:

So I've heard

FC I've been to Blackpool. With PD actually. We stayed in possibly the most depressing B&B ever. It was like stepping back in time but not in a good way :rotfl:

We were about 17 I think? I burnt my neck on my straighteners that weekend

Oh dear lord I remember that, didn't we wreck the door frames trying to open bottles of cider? :rotfl:

I still reckon 'Frito Lay' sounds more like a karma sutra position rather than a bag of crisps

Umm. We'll have a debate about that (oh no Savvy:eek:) another time.

Gooooorrrr... what, dm and pd thanking me! What an embarrassment:o:rotfl::rotfl:.

Yes, I do have ability to laugh things off - sometimes best way of dealing with it. (If indeed you can - and sometimes you can't.) How did we get onto that? Ah yes, the "Lick It" song.

Anyway...(no pun intended) hope my triggery Ribenary lolliery thingys help someone, somewhere.:)

I'm sort of 'alright', at present, not too feeling bad. See you later:wave::wave:.

(I think, in all the (annoying?) material, this has become lost - I'd be grateful for some people's answer on it:
