as you all know the forum software is not setup to block swear words, we are adults and imo a well placed swear word can be artful but lazy/gratuitous swearing is not desirable. ( i will edit it out)

Obviously quotes with swear words in are fine, as are videos etc etc

Generally this is a non issue as non of you misappropriate cuss words and the ones that do get used are for amusement but I thought some clarification was nessersary. I like the fact we converse as adults and have a free use of language, but there is a line.

Carry on ...:)

We're all adults here, until we prove ourselves otherwise...

I still want to know what a knackered wammer would be, though.

Well, poppycocks, I say!

What has become of the stout-spined societies of yore, when a man could shout "heck" and "tarnation" and "by the hairy goaty scrotum of Satyr!", while the women gasped and the children wailed and were driven before him like a drover, so strong was his verbal tumescence!

Nay, we have become a coven of cowed cowards!

Balderdash to this!

I always was partial to the way Bill The Cat swore:

I had a aunt, Madolina (Lena for short), whose fav punishment for bad words to all us kids was to wash our mouths out with a bar of soap. Not even menial sins like crap or hell would ever be tolerated by those under adulthood. Washing the mouth with soap was also the penance paid for talking back or just verbalizing in a disrespectful way. Sometimes she would have to chase us around the back yard, bar soap in hand, to administer the punishment but that just meant she'd be mad and stroke the bar in and out against our teeth all the more. LOL
In the end I think she was all our favorite aunt,
We miss you Aunt Lena!

Yep, I can still taste it to this day. LOL
But I learned well to be polite and respectful to my elders.
Something way too lacking with todays youth. ;)
