nice sentiment, Blissfully...but it is a back/white distinction, as if there are only two types of people reading here, with only two viewpoints. What about those who 'know' very well what it means, but just don't like having it 'up front'. It's like TV advertising...how detailed and explicit do YOU want the Viagra ads or condom ads or tampon ads to be?

It's all very well to say that knowlege is a good thing, and kids will hear these words anyway....but isn't there a reasonable place for displaying or using them?

I'm sorry, but when a word that is useful and relevant in one context is used just for gratuitous shock value in another context, I just wonder about motivation.

(I own BOTH volumes of G. Legman's "Rationale of the Dirty Joke", which is a scholarly study of sexual humor, but I don't read them out loud in the grocery store....and while I understand including all forms and variants, there are many of those jokes that are just plain BAD and are not suitable for general dinner table conversation.)
