Hoover is a specific brand name or manufacturer of vacuum cleaners.

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!


Also... In my neck of the woods fanny means tush. I've never heard of it meaning female private parts. But then again I've never been to anywhere in Europe.

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.

Some of us are just big ole' potty mouths... and some of us are perfectly okay with being them. I do try to contain my 'language' here... but sometimes over in IMO...*ahem* well... I try... never said i was successful...

Although I've seen some Lounge posts that have potty language and they haven't been censored... hmmm...

Back to torturing JoJo... I'm eating ham cold cuts... I think she wants to kill me.

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.

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.

Wow that's very extreme. I don't see how in the world you could call that a swear word. I mean... that would be like telling someone who's name is Fanny that they can't use their name because another country uses it as slang in a derogatory way. In fact my nick name growing up was Fanny Farmer.
Seriously, I see screen names that are much more offensive to me.

that's funny. I haven't ever put a D in that word either. I never knew it was a swear word either! How strang. I don't know though. I'm always on the side of "its only a word, how can a WORD be a bad word?"

This thread is so funny!
I remember watching something like Ricki Lake one day or something similar and they were talking to the audience as they were queing to go in and there was a crazy lady they talked to. You know the bags everyone seemed to have in the early 90`s that clip round your waist? Well in the uk they were called 'Bum Bags' because you put them so the bag was at the back before people cottoned on to how they could be pick-pocketed.

Anyway, they asked this lady why she needed to take a 'Fanny Pack' into the studio....
It made everyone laugh but
how embarrassing!

I think the word Pants is hilarious too because over here that means your knickers and I was just listening to Avril Lavigne singing about how she wears the pants

Do you know how long it took me to figure out what and why it was censored?? Ok Now I get! Are we allowed to say Darn??? I kinda thought the word in question was slang for you know 'duck " I didn't know it was that bad. Maybe I shouldn't say it

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!!!!

I could see that one coming a mile away and sat here chuckling waiting for it.
