I read a post recently in which the person used the word "crap". It went through the Babble filter just fine. I recently used the word "f*rt", and it was smashed with an *. So, I found that odd. I find crap to be a much more substantial word than f*rt. To me, f*rt is a much lighter, airier, malorderous, but less offensive word. So, I checked Merriam-Webster to find:
F*rt: Etymology: Middle English ferten, farten; akin to Old High German ferzan to break wind, Old Norse freta, Greek perdesthai, Sanskrit pardate he breaks wind.
Pronunciation: 'färt
*often vulgar*: to expel intestinal gas from the anusbtw, "f*rt" as a noun can also mean a foolish or contemptible person <couldn't stand the old f*rt>
Crap: Pronunciation: 'krap
*usually vulgar*: defecatealso, as a noun, well, you know what it means.
Etymology: Middle English crappe chaff, residue from rendered fat, perhaps from Old French crappe chaff, residue, from Medieval Latin crappa.Consider yourself an expert.

Lol I guess it depends on what dictonary one uses and Dr Bob uses, they are both common slang words in some dictionaries and the word He can ***** crap if he wants I dont care...and ditto f*rt ...IMO the point still gets across

Is there a list somewhere here on PB of unacceptable words? I thought I read about it one time.

i agree, "crap" is definitely worse than "f*rt." the rules here are a bit r*t*rd*d.

Funny how people's taste is, I hate the word f*rt, though I still find it funny that it gets asterisked, and I hate the word horny, I hate it more than any swear words, and the word crap doesn't really bother me, neither does f*ck if not used excessively.
Now please don't anyone think that I'm offended by anyone's use of the words f*rt, or horny, it's just a personal quirk. But I'd prefer any of those words over cutesy substitutions which make me want to wretch. My parents used to say "make whoopie" Now *That's* offensive.

Dr. Bob - I apologize for using a word which some may find offensive....and which your filter didn't catch. Does that mean you won't PBC me? Did I get my apology in on time? :-)

I was looking for a book for my 3 year old nephew at Borders over christmas, when I came across a book for 3-5 year olds, called *The Amazing F*rting Puppy.*
??
It's not a word I'd teach my kid, but I guess it must be really acceptable to be a kid's book, huh?

I always suspected you were a true romantic at heart, Emmy. It's too bad the f*rting portion of the balcony scene in "Romeo and Juliet" was cut by Shakespeare. Adds a whole different texture to the play. ;) Atticus

GG - You're lost hon. Wrong web site. Back up, turn left at the www and head towards the cute hiker guy in the shorts.
