Thread Name: Origins: Will the Turtle Be Unbroken? (Les Barker)
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Will the turtle be unbroken?
Here in the U.S., I've only heard "bloody" used to describe something covered with blood, just a simple matter-of-fact adjective. I participate in a different web forum site that censors the word "pussy", which limits some discussions about cats (in case anyone reading isn't familiar with American slang, it is also used to mean "vagina", and by extension a cowardly [feminine] male). Of course, all it takes to get around any of these filters is using an asterisk in place of one letter, or spacing it out as Wurkman did. These censoring filters seem rather silly to me, and anyone who disagrees is a bloody pussy! (VBG)
