Subject: RE: BS: You Know What Pisses Me Off?
Re the "gratuitous bad language"; the King James Bible contains "pisseth"; that passage doesn't usually get read in morning service. "Pee" is nothing but P-short-for-piss; few adults cringe from the word "pee" now, and it's almost universal usage for little kids. I'm conditioned like other people, and wouldn't usually say "piss" in just every setting, but, in historic perspective, it's a little silly to fuss about it as offensive language. Anyhow, thank you all for tolerating my pontification on the matter. : )
