A couple of words never appear in my posts except in quotes from someone else's. I'm rather fond of "twat" because it's nice and direct and conveys a certain degree of ridicule. Body function words are pretty mild I reckon. What I can't be doing with is the use of asterisks (except where used correctly, of course, as in "b*ast*ard" or "w*anker", for example). If you don't like the word, don't use it, and don't pretend you're being polite by peppering us with bl*oody asterisks! Even worse is the prissy use of expressions such as "the n-word" or "the c-word". Just s*oddin' say it! One of my favourite films of all time is Blazing Saddles and I'm not going to never watch it again because it has "nigger" in it umpteen times. Context is everything. The most important thing is that one has no right to not be offended.
