Hoover is a specific brand name or manufacturer of vacuum cleaners.Originally Posted by pushylady
Does "hoover" have a different meaning in the US?
Some of us use fr**gin' as a replacement for the 'other' f-word. I also use freakin' which may eventually get censored here as well... if not already... although I think I've used it and it hasn't gotten censored ... yet.Originally Posted by mzjazz2u
Now I'm still curious about the original post. So where, why and what about fridge without the "d" being a bad word? I don't think I've ever heard of this one and I'm surprised I haven't!
It isn't so everywhere, but there are places apparently where it is viewed as pretty much equivalent to the other one. Given that we are a world-wide community, we want to be sensitive to these differences, whenever we are aware of them.Originally Posted by Tara & Rob
Wow, if its the word I think, then I'm always saying that instead of the true "f" word. I had no idea it was considered a 'bad' word.

I recall one of my teachers telling the class about an incident that happened when there was a visiting professor (I think from somewhere in the UK). One of their coworkers was out sick and this visiting prof was staying in the same apartment building or some such thing, and they would often carpool.
Anyway, the morning following her absence, he stopped by with a tea for her on the way to work, but she was still feeling quite ill, so wasn't going that day either.
At work, the other prof inquired about the young lady, to which the visiting prof replied "I'm not sure when she'll be back in......I knocked her up this morning and it looks as though it will be a few days before she recovers."
LMAO!!!!
