Where does the vulgarity reside?

Posted by zazenduckie on March 12, 2007, at 16:44:32 [reposted on March 12, 2007, at 23:17:16 | original URL]

f*ck·*r (f*k'*r) Pronunciation Key
n. Vulgar Slang

1 A despised person.
2 One that engages in sexual intercourse.

According to the American heritage dictionary these are the definitions of f*ck*r .

I direct your attention to definition number 2. Bob has previously ruled that he is not offended by a disparaging word (m*r*n) characterizing disabled people because the second definition did not refer to disabled people tho it remained unkind. He chose to override the American Heritage Dictionary and declare the term acceptable without asterisk. Why then is this word considered vulgar when the second definition is positively pleasant for many and surely inoffensive for all?

Yet when m*ther is added to the word all definitions are disparaging. So surely the asterisk should be in the maternal modifier.

I believe leaving the asterisk as it appears would be most welcoming to those who engage in sexual intercourse.

Respectfully submitted
