Once saw "FECK - Irish Connection" on a T - Shirt. Made me laugh.

...Just though I would share it with you.

There is a Wankie Game Reserve in Zimbabwe I believe.

The town of Wankie was renamed in 1982 to Hwange , part of the transition of removing colonial links and connotations to Rhodesia under the auspices of Mr Mugabe.

This idea about removing swear words has two benefits. It doesn't subject younger users to the same words they hear in the playground at school and it shows the user of such words, has such a low vocabulary that they spent too much time listening to these words at school rather than learning cleaner alternatives???

If you use predictive text to type F**K*N C**T it comes out as DUBLIN AUNT.

I have often described people since as Dublin Aunts with impunity....

I've never understood this theory. Surely using obscenities displays an INCREASED vocabulary, with such words being in addition to 'cleaner alternatives'?

Back on topic, I find it interesting that the word f*ggot is banned, yet terms such as Paki, ****** and coon seem acceptable. ???

Mr. Brain's 6 Pork ******s

That's too short for sausages. Or did you mean c***s and make it too long? I know you can eat pig fairly much nose to tail but I've yet to see the tv chef who's brave enough to champion pig fanny.

Strike that. I've just read Fearnly-Whittingstall has prepared a whole series on it.

The fact that the installed swear filter does not pick something up, does NOT automatically mean that it is acceptable to use. None of those three are acceptable to use here. Another is spastic.

It's only an increased vocabulary if used in conjunction with alternatives, but rarely is.
Certain words we find offensive, derogatory and insulting may not be seen as vituperation in other cultures. Google, being slightly American, will pick up on what it regards as a no no, over there. That's my take on it
