By the way, I did not use the word "heck," for my discussion thread. The moderators replaced my original word.

Dun, there is a very long thread about that issue, since they changed your word. It's titled " am I assuming correctly that we lost.......due to bs? I started it. try to find it. Most of us were strongly on your side.

I think it's pretty strange that the Bible uses the word "hell" and we can't? I mean, it is a location, like Cleveland. No offense.

Well, darn, geez and golly gosh. Thanks you guys have lightened me up tonight. What the heck.

Can we say fecking? The British say it for the f word. I like it. I am going to make it "my thing". It will be fecking great! ;)

Hey-Christina!!!--I resent the Cleveland reference for H3ll--;0). I am from the land of Cleve, as my husband calls it. J/k :oP

How about Toledo then, Mishka? I spent a year there one day ;0

There's also "frak"....it was used in a short lived sci-fi TV show called Caprica...a prequal to Battlestar Galactica. (Yes I'm a fraking geek)

You are so nice mishka, I'd never say feck you to you! Comic relief. We are so fecking mature.

You've raised a lot of heck here tonight, Dun.

A bunch of aging care siblings by choice having a little fecking fun here tonight!

Then again, having grown up in the 'burbs of Boston I'd have to go with freakin'. As in - "substituting the word heck for hell was freakin' lame. Wicked freakin' lame."

Awww, willowrose, that was nice! :0) thanks !! :0) your fecking nice as well! ;0)

Haha Yaya, had a wicked roommate from Boston! And I , too, spent a year in Toledo one week. haha. (that was your post , right? Awww, bloody heck, I forgot who said that. ( I am British again;0) )

Everything is fecking in Ireland, got the lawn mower fixed and the guy said in a thick rural Irish accent, not a bad fecking mower, LOL. Yes, what is with the fecking censorship, I mean don't get me wrong I don't usually use profanity, but heck is hardly profane, sometimes ya gotta let it rip and we know that here, we aren't a gosh golly group, well some are I suppose. Last night my cat had diarrhea and my mother was acting like Joan Crawford, there were a lot of fecking thoughts and sayings going on believe me.

Being Boston Irish Catholic, dual citizenship, it's probably why I resonated with it MishkaM. Wicked pis_a. Trying to be respectful. Fill the blank in with another s. My biological sister is missing out on some fun, huh? In good times and in bad, like our parent's commitments were to each other, in sickness and in health until death do us part. An ideal family code. . .wouldn't it be grand. Well, we ain't in heaven yet. We shall see, who knows what the future will bring! Hope springs eternal! Thnx for your support folks. Hasta luego. Time to raise some. . . he. .aven!

Was that you willowrose? Yes mishka, tis herself.

I typed in a$$ and it was replaced with a**. *sigh*

watta pain in the **&%#@*. Seriously?

Loved Cleveland joke Christina.

I constantly see titles to questions being changed - it's as if they don't realize that the email notification shows the "actual" question, then when we come on here & find that it's different, it's very frustrating - I always feel like I've clicked the wrong link. If I want to vent, I don't want my wording changed - I assume others feel the same way (as evidenced by this title). If the TOS "prohibits" certain words, perhaps the TOS should be changed to only disallow the evil "F" word & leave the others alone - we are all adults here & sometimes you just can't get your frustrations out without (gasp) using a swear-word or two while venting. Perhaps the moderator(s) are bored & creating something for themselves to do, or they are imposing their personal boundaries regarding word usage on the rest of us, but it's really ANNOYING and I wish it would stop!! Are you listening, moderator???

willowrose - "may y'be in heaven a full half hour before the devil knows yer dead!" Yeah, I think we Bostonians share a close kinship with irreverence. The city just lends itself naturally to cussing....navigating through Cambridge into Logan on a Monday morning could turn any saint into a sinner! Gettin' stuck the tunnel? Talk about a freakin' pita!
purplesushi - Right on!!!

I'm a Long Island girl, so I have a potty mouth. Took my Mom on a trip to Boston a few years back. we LOVED that city! Nicest people EVER!

Wicked funny, made me laugh to think about jim fallon and rachel dratch in Saturday Night Live at Fenway Park skit, Sully and Zazu, thanks for the laugh

I am from Texas, we are born saying, "What the h**l??" This censoring is too stupid for me..... I agree with PurpleSushi, what's the point of getting on her to vent, if I have to say " This has been the most fracked up day of my life".... just doesn't seem to make me feel any better!

This censoring thing... it's so stupid to me!!! If I've had a bad day, getting on here and saying, " This has been the most fracked up day!" just doesn't seem to make me feel any better....and I'm from Texas, we are born saying, " What the f**k was that?"

Oh, and the reason for two posts.... H**L I don't know..... like when we are reading something with asterisks in it we don't read the word....anyway, wouldn't let me post the first one, so did another one,,, appears from my recollection that Texans are just born cussin".

Ah golly, geewilikers, darn tutin, fudge, h-e-double hockey sticks, wowzer, goshdern, whew, now I feel better

Eh, now that I think about it, Madeaa, the book may have been set in Ireland and not England. (d'oh !) --that is where I got the fecking from. I tried to view it with the title "This is a Great Fecking Book" but Amazon would not let me -more censorship.


I really don't get too upset by the censorship here. I think it is really just kinda weird that you can say f*** with the asterisks- what do they think we are reading in are heads? "EFF STAR STAR STAR"?? But it is a little creepy when they change your words without notification. Kinda invasive.

My husband says we Clevelanders say " Yous sons of b*****s" ( usually to the Browns) a lot and for cripes sake! :oP

Review it not view it , (sigh)

Mishka ! Omg!! You are TOO FUNNY!!!
I'm not really here today. Cleaning my house and practicing my music. Hi to everyone, I'm not ignoring just nervous!!
( Hi Sis:) xoxo ttyl

Dun, Capn' and the rest of us potty mouths... I just posted on my home thread, and used the F word and said bitch.... three or four times.... they left it alone..... Thank God for folks that stand up for what they believe in and last I checked this IS still AMERICA....... thanks for all the great posts on this subject.... hopefully we can get back to not being pretend 'churchy' folks... nothing wrong with being 'churchy' if that's your thing.... just don't assume I agree..... thanks everyone..... and was thinking today... I say 'y'all', not 'ya'll' and was wondering if that was going to be next.... AC spellcheck.....hugs to you all...

I did too and then it was gone

You guys are fecking great. Don't change. We are all adults. Most of us stressed out. It should be noted that we could be a lot worse. We could be unkind, judgmental, hateful, and snide. Instead we use four letter words sometimes. LIFE is a four letter word.
