Seems I got RR'd for using a dictionary term for someone of 'indeterminate parentage'. Hey Ho - i'll remember in future not to use any literate terminology in any posts. or if necessary use a fistful of ****'s instead.

However, the term was used in a, hmm, somewhat derogatory way ( :-D) so I'll accept that.

Next time, RR'r, kindly contact me first and discuss your concern - I may well have come to the same conclusion and therefore 'adjusted' the wording. That is, if you're brave enough.....

Good luck Mr Daff

;-)

I've reposted it for you Mr Daff - with a few ******

Couldn't believe it, MrD. Poster must have really wanted to be offended to read such a long joke. What reviewer saw offensive I have no idea.

If it WAS that word, not only is that word in dictionary, it was used by St Paul in the New Testament. And I have recently used it in a church talk and absolutely nobody took offence.

Could be racist, I suppose. But so is me walking round going 30-3, 30-3, 30-3 all last week too.

Well done AnnC for reposting it. About time we ignored this Friday night reporter :-| :-|

I didn't see the original but read AnnC's post. I didn't find it funny but then I didn't find it offensive but I'm not lacking in humour nor do I need to 'get a life' and 'get out more'. It just didn't appeal to my sense of humour. Surely we all differ as to what we find funny or offensive.

I agree with Mr Daff - why not just send a PM saying you find the post or certain words offensive. Much more pleasant way to deal with it.

As you say Mr Daff, it's in the dictionary!!!!

....afterthought - it's also used in genealogy.

Perhaps next time you should use the term 'base born' :-D

Being "politically correct" takes the fun away

:-D

Honestly, don't people have a sense of humour???

Didn't you read my post, Miss Scozz - people have different senses of humour. Doesn't mean someone is lacking humour if they don't get what someone else finds hilarious.

I can't stand Monty Python but my OH and youngest son finds it hilarious - I giggle over stuff that my OH stares blankly at.

I just posted on Ann's thread reposting it ,and that threads been 'pulled' too .

'Thread does not exist !' :-|

Not me, Sandie :-D As I said - I wasn't offended. It just didn't appeal to my sense of humour.

Nor mine particulaly Sue ,just peeved the thread had disappeared after I'd posted !!

I have to agree with SueMaid just because some find some jokes hilarious and I don't doesnt mean I am boring or have no SOH or sadly neglected or live in a smelly 1 room bedsit, however I have before now PM the post and asked them to change the wording or if I do RR I will always say .....I have RR your post because .........

But as it 'appens I didnt see this one :-D

But you do live in a smelly 1 room bedsit :-D :-D

I wish I did at times Sue ......its no fun living in a 7 bedroom mansion when the cleaning lady and houseboy have gorne off on strike :-|

I well understand that, Hayley - you just can't get good staff these days :-(

Sadly I am even having to resort to doing myself what the hell did I have children for I ask yer :-(

I deleted the thread as it seemed to be causing some unrest

I didn't read either thread but then, and I say this with pride, I come from a long line of b*****ds so the word wouldn't offend me.

Suemaid and Hayley are right about our individual senses of humour. As soon as someone tells me 'you will really roar with laughter at this', I just know I wont find it funny. But that is apropos feck all.

Sends hugs and kisses to all B*****ds. :-D <3

I was RR'd for putting "And they shot that cow." on the thread about Hutterites and could not understand why so I asked Genes to explain why.

Apparently somebody thought I had meant it in a nasty way (!?) BUT the apologized!!!!!!!!!!!!

sorry I know I shouldnt but I am FLMAO @ Sharron awww I know how traumatised you are about the shooting of the poor cow :-D
