Swearing

[timnowvapes]

I remember overseeing a digichat site, and one of the mods tried filtering a phrase out - and they used the word "the" - so guess what happened?

"the" got filtered with "the" - so the the the the the - it actually looped and crashed the server

some of my per-filtered verbal words are - fluoxetine - fukushima and flux also works. I do try very hard not to swear, especially as we have 2 pairs of little ears in the house.

Can you please post a list of the words so we know what not to use?

Lol, not possible as the list would be blanked out

Seriously though, there are very few swear words on the censored list. And though we would prefer as little swearing as possible, no one has to worry as long as they don't make a habit of swearing.

Few years back I worked as a sys admin, one day I was sat next to this guy going mental, he was trying to send an email to his wife in the USA with him in the UK. Turned out someone had put xxx (3x's) on the proxy banned list so the message could not be sent

That was a ......... stupid thing to do, Ant.

When I worked in the old persons home and something wasn't going right, I used to annoyingly say 'oh, knickers'. It made the residents laugh their heads off! Old and innocent, lol.

I remember as a young teenager going on holiday to Menorca with my mum and grandma a couple of months after Granddad had died Grandma had nursed him through his final months and days so was pretty stressed - and it had been one hell of a stressful time for mum and I (basically she'd broken her leg kicking a football with me at Wickstead park - smashed it in 7 places and had to have countless plates and pins put in. She then developed a nasty infection for which she was rushed back in for a couple of months, a hematoma which saw a middle of the night a and e tri and another couple of weeks spent in - 2 instances of being admitted with a leg clot, ad then finally 2-3 weeks in when the leg clot developed into a pulmonary embolism...she was a single parent and I was a single child, so I spent most of the year firstly not knowing if she was going to survive, secondly loosing my grandpa and thirdly being shipped around to various aunts to look after me while mum was in hospital) needless to say we were ALL stressed and all let our hair down a bit on holiday - I can remember Grandma insisting that Sangria was a soft drink, getting through a whole jugful by herself (and my Grandma doesnt drink - she danced home that night!) and kissing a young waiter in our favourite restaurant to cheer him up. Anyhow - I digress sorry! Sitting in the hotel bar one night a group of us who were staying there got on to the topic of swearing. My Grandma, who is allll so prim and proper most of the time told us she knew the worlds worst swear word. Well you can imagine a group of tiddly adults, and a sober but interested granddaughter trying to find out what on earth it was. She then told us it was a phrase and the initials were PPBBD - and various people tried to work it out. About 10 minutes later when we'd all given up in frustration she proceeded to tell us, "Why it's Pee Poh Belly Bum Drawers of course"

Since then (when I remember to use it!) that has become my favourite exasperated word - either in full or just initialling it depending what the circumstance calls for!

So there you go - you all know the secret now!!!

At other times when I'm totally stressed out I like to use ****-a-doodle-doo!

My favourite is 'futtocks' - completely clean, but has the right feel to be rude.
