I presume that by "such language" you are refering to my use of the word which has, for rather a long time, had the very precise and universal meaning on Usenet of "completely clue-resistant entity". Like S****horpe or Penistone, it merely contains certain letters of the alphabet in a particular sequence which happens coincidentally, when taken in isolation from the other letters, to be identical to an existing, shorter word frequently used as an expletive. Unless you're AOL, in which case all three are obscenities. I'd offer to lend you a JCB but you're doing fine enough with that shovel without any help. -- DG |
