On the one hand it's offensive to some and sexist to all, while on the other hand it's juvenile.
Failing that, can we at least add "needs more [insert juvenile term for phallus here]" which at least makes poll responses a bit more equal.

By all means,and never mind "doghousing", outright permanently BAN anyone using it.
It's gone beyond silly. It's noww reached the mortal sin status of being trite.

ataulfo06 Jul 2011 10:28 p.m. PST

I'm always in mortal sin – a basic status to be alive…

The joke has worn a bit thin now. So probably a good time to drop it.

The worst thing is the word itself. It is so incredibly juvenile. NOBODY uses the word 'boobies'. Women may use the word 'boobs' if they are in polite company. Can we at least grow up and use Bleeped text?

Space Monkey07 Jul 2011 1:31 a.m. PST

Nope, because Bleeped text get's bleeped out… so 'boobies' it is!

Cerdic07 Jul 2011 3:30 a.m. PST

Errr….jugs?

You guys should run for Congress – you're always right on top of the most important issues.

"The worst thing is the word itself. It is so incredibly juvenile. NOBODY uses the word 'boobies'. Women may use the word 'boobs' if they are in polite company."

Exactly! That's the whole point of using the word! It's a ridiculous word that is used only by 7 year old boys… and TMP members!!!

I can almost guarantee that those who use the word here use it not to refer to part of the female anatomy, but to wallow in its utter stupidity.

And what's wrong with a little stupidity from time to time? My DVD collection includes Austin Powers, Dumb & Dumber, Balls of Fury and the Family Guy Star Wars Trilogy.

I hope you realize that the 'offending' phrase will need to be an available answer for this poll.

sma194107 Jul 2011 5:10 a.m. PST

This needs more boobies, lots more boobies.

ataulfo07 Jul 2011 5:30 a.m. PST

For sure – more boobies.

SECURITY MINISTER CRITTER07 Jul 2011 5:41 a.m. PST

If you ban a word, the unwashed masses will simply come up with a new equivalent.

consectari07 Jul 2011 7:15 a.m. PST

NOBODY uses the word 'boobies'

Except Zapp Brannigan.

By all means, continue to act juvenile while you continue to wonder why there are no female wargamers.

We have two female wargamers at our club. We did have 4 but 2 moved away with work and boyfriends. I use the word all the time. But then I am a nobody so thats ok.

flooglestreet07 Jul 2011 10:31 a.m. PST

Who wants more female wargamers? Is it now a cultural imperative to strive for diversity in ALL circumstances? If it occurs, well and good. If not, mehp!

Sundance07 Jul 2011 2:38 p.m. PST

Kle, they argue it as though they were in Congress too!

Personal logo 20thmaine Supporting Member of TMP07 Jul 2011 3:34 p.m. PST

Yes, please drop it. Or I may finally snap and go on a stifle rampage.

And then I wouldn't have anyone left to talk to.

Tazman4968407 Jul 2011 6:30 p.m. PST

Really, I think anyone who doesn't sharemy enthusiasm for allowable words regarding the female anatomy is welcome to stifle me. I was gone for a month handling personal affairs and I come back to *this?* I am wholly against censorship in this regard…
