I caught a few minutes of a programme on racism and several lads referred to the P-word. It took me a moment to think what they were talking about before I realised. Obviously the N-word was taken a while ago and the C-word or C-bomb, which got me wondering how many other words cannot be said, even in a wider discussion, which are now only to be referred to by their first letter. I must admit that once I realised what the P-word might refer to, it crossed my mind that it may be an attempt to put it on the same level as the N-word rather than trying to eradicate it from people's vocabulary. But that's another question altogether.
