Hey I'm offended by your smilie.Originally Posted by CarolPetunia
Y'know, if the word being discussed here is the one I think it is, I -- yes, ME, the queen of linguistic propriety -- I used it once myself! It's in the second line of that great old Paul Simon song, "Kodachrome," which I quoted in a post about driving to my high school graduation. I don't use the word in "real life," but I didn't think it was something that would actually be banned.
So I'm an offender, too! Nice to know I'm in good company, though.
Hahahaha! No, dude! That icon I thought was an angry person on a soapbox... Like I was being pedantic or something. But then I realized that didn't make sense, and thought maybe it was about the soap. But I still wasn't sure. So is it both?Originally Posted by mybabyphx
Remember when you said:
My jokes might not be funnyBut what I meant was--- we are washing out our dirty mouths with soap!! maybe i'm the only one that got it?!?
awww....nevermind!
If it is that word a lot of us are offenders. When I was a kid I was taught that word to be used as a replacement for curse words, kinda like 'gosh' or 'shoot'. If that's a curse word, I'm in trouble and have been since I was like 5.Originally Posted by CarolPetunia

Wait--what? I didn't know that word was what everyone was talking about! I thought it was something worse. Heck I just said that at the library today and nobody gave me a dirty look. What if someone was talking about carp and got the letters mixed up?Originally Posted by Zissou'sMom

Just speculating. But anything much worse would have been mod-stamped and deleted, so you know we're not talking (if we are talking about words?) about your traditional four-letter words.Originally Posted by Moz

Don't worry about it..its not really important. I just wanted to make sure everyone knew I wasn't offending on purpose.
I just wondered how many active users are there? Are there lots of members who dropped off the face of the planet after a few posts?Originally Posted by TigerOnTheProwl
We all love you for who you are Nat. TCS would be a lot less interesting without you and your opinions. I'm not saying that everyone else on here is boring but everyone plays a big part here. Even though there are 15000+ members on here, the loss of one's opinions would have a big impact on all of us.

I understand people getting offended, I just wish they would PM me about it. If I have offended someone, I would hope that members feel comfortable enough with me to let me know.Originally Posted by Anakat
