Actually, we are allowed to say "Vagina" also, so Sid did not need to be cautious in his title. In China, we are used to hearing "Wagina" The auto-censor is American (foul)Language, of course, and does not acknowledge the rest of the world......pricks, arse,schlong,boobs,barstards,Jesus-farking-Christ...........many and varied are the words the censor has not heard of...a slight change of spelling,and there you go!!
Of course, I am not an advocate of the usage of such terms, but as an English teacher, I feel duty-bound to enlighten those of you who feel the need. Especially those Americans who are insular and feel aggrieved at the use of another form of English.

Has any one of you thought that a moderator is reading all this sh-te?

The more tricks you expose, the more they'll block. Damn it people, use what little you have of a brain and don't let the tongue slip.

The only reason I ended up reading this thread was that I misread the subject line as "Where's the best Ugandans?" I was like, "Is that supposed to be some sort of pun?" Confused

You have to be very careful here. If I had asked where's the best place for Ugandans I'm sure a whole bunch of Europeans would have been down on me like a tonne of unused textbooks claiming that I was a ethnocentric pig and shouldn't be looking for purely a smallish population of east Africans.

Reading this just confirms my belief that among the ranks of EFL teachers and ESLcafe posters there are many who have not matured emotionally.

Childish stuff - let's use all these naughty words to prove how clever we are.

Thanks gingermeggs. Seems like this board can be seperated not by men vs women, the mature vs the immature(thats me:-) not even by the boobed, the unboobed and the megaboobed. I think that this board's greatest divider is the ones with and the ones without a sense of humour.
Makes you wonder what some of their classes are like.

When I joined Dave's forums, I expected to be among adults with pertinent concerns, opinions, and information. Just like I don't think this would be appropriate kinds of subjects for board meetings, staff meetings or church sermons, I still don't see how you're finding it amusing flaunting every single way you can be overtly rude.. and in some cases point fingers at people's xyz and claim it all in the name of fun (when it's really just at someone's expense).

What I've come to conclude: You really do think this website's general discussion board should be used for anything you can think of. It's a waste of breath to try and convince you and those others who support you, otherwise.

I have a sense of humor, but I have enough restraint and decency to know when and who to show it off to. Personally, I'm sorry I stooped down to your level and was rude to men on the board. To them I sincerely apologize.
