"S-word for Poop - Why Is It Not Bleeped?" Topic

Surely there are more important things to be concerned about.

Because shitaki mushrooms are delicious.

Yes, though s-word is hardly worthy of a bleep.

Times change, and I would think s-word is not quite as objectionable today as in ye olde times.

If you don't roll well, you could make a mishit.

Tim,

You're right, and I have no idea why it is no longer 'bleeped.' Certainly it's not a medical term…

Edit: How long 'til Twighlight Samurai gets what he's begging for? As Kyote posted, just 'cause you can say something doesn't mean you can say something.

V/R,

Some people play on shittim wood.

Others play on Shittah.

I wonder if threads like this explain how the creators of Southpark write their scripts?

Perhaps he follows the protocol of Comedy Central, which does not bleep that word. Either that or the Illuminati.

You can get away with crap too.
Had I used "crap" I would have been a free man over the weekend.

why did it change?

I took it out when I took out the medical words, as directed by the recent poll.

However, since it is not a medical word, I perhaps made a mistake. (My first!)

It was indeed a mistake. You DHed ME!
Not only that but the OFM too, on suspicion of being a known accomplice!

Don't forget to re-bleep piss as well, while you are at it.

You are correct, the proper medical term I most commonly hear used is bowel movement or feces, not sh**.

Sierra Hotel One Tango is I believe at least partly (Australian) Air Force slang – as in 'He thinks he is a Sierra Hotel One Tango hot pilot.' Should be spoken in a radio announcer monotone.

Why is "poop" not bleeped? It's not a medical term …

I saw OFM and then another fellow in the doghouse and was wondering why Sierra hotel Oscar tango was no longer bleeped.

As far as I am aware "shot" has never been bleeped…

I had to deliver a -sample when I had blood in my .

See it's medical!

is one of those words that's an edge case.

In can be used as an expletive but it is also an informal word for excrement which quite frankly a polysyllabic word that sounds to most people pretentious poop (see what I did there?).

Like most things, swearing in moderation is one thing but the problem is agreeing what's moderate and what is not.

'Why is "poop" not bleeped? It's not a medical term …'

Quite right. It's part of a ship.

Heh, heh!

What kills me is how willfully disingenuous certain folks are being about this.

Come on, people. Everyone knows the word in question is vulgar/profanity. Even if you disagree with my opinion that profanity has no place in a civil discussion, profanity is not permitted on this site as per the FAQ. It's that simple. Yes, it's not being stopped by the "bleep" feature for whatever reason. But that does not somehow make the use of the term acceptable. Pretending otherwise just makes you look foolish.

Good lord.
I sometimes think this place is filled with a bunch of poorly behaved 12 year olds trying to make themselves look "all grown up" by spouting profanity every chance they get.

What kills me

A voice from beyond the grave!

On a more serious note, I for one would not use the word in question in polite conversation. Historically, this site has had rigid rules about what is/what is not allowed. The bleep-o-matic (aka Profanity filter) was introduced to enforce the profanity rules. If Bill in his infinite wisdom has decided that the word in question is no longer profane then who are we to argue?

Of course, that does not mean we HAVE to use the word …

Stephen Fry and I wholeheartedly disagree with you.

He implies above that it was accidently removed when he "unbleeped" some medical terms. I doubt he thinks it's "no longer profane".

If the site software suddenly got more buggy than it is now and the "F word" or any number of racial slurs were no longer automatically "bleeped" out would that make it right to use them in posts? Yes, the word in question is generally considered not as harsh as these. But the point remains.

I honestly think that anyone who is saying "Oh, this bit of profanity is no longer 'bleeped' so it must be ok to post it" is playing rule of law vs. spirit of law games and is being purposely disingenuous. (and thus deserves a little DH stay)

But what do I know?

Bloody southerners talking a load of .

The bleep-o-matic (aka Profanity filter) was introduced to enforce the profanity rules.

And to protect people from breaking the rules.

The S-word and P-word have been added back to the Bleeper.

test

Actually, the P-word was not previously bleeped. But it is now.

That P word is largely an American useage. What about good old British English poo…?

OK – the British P word is OK. Just so we know….

OK so these do not trigger the Bleep-o-matic:

poop pooh piss

So one has to ask – what is the P-word that is now bleeped?

Actually, the P-word was not previously bleeped. But it is now.

BTW, isn't the "S-word for Poop" in fact:

"stern"

???

I've scheduled you all for some Special High Intensity Training.

People will need to take care when writing up an AAR on their Star Trek games about Cling-ons emigrating from Youranus.

I can see your point about the s word being "profanity".

How do you feel about displaying the Rhodesian flag, a known white supremacist symbol?

Ok so poo and poopn which most kids when I was a kid used,could be offensive. Is the word crap also offensive to some?

Robert

Is the word crap also offensive to some?

It was offensive to my mother.

LOL Bill. It was a favorite alternative for my mother .

Robert

Actually Faeces while considered profane in common usage is not really profane because I'm not sure there's a religion where people worship poo?

However it is vulgar.

Oh you would be surprised. The Hennites of Outer Slobbovia practice coprolatry. Disgusting rituals but it keeps the people happy.

"Actually Faeces while considered profane in common usage is not really profane because I'm not sure there's a religion where people worship poo?

Agree, so i propose, that oh my god and holy cow will bli beeped.

While, , , motherer, horse er, , , , asshole, , uncleer, and swede will become unbleeped.

Um…

can see your point about the s word being "profanity".

Factually incorrect material in your statement aside, how do you feel about actually staying on topic and not posting "material intentionally designed to provoke a negative response"?
