Considering I had 'damn' altered on one of my posts not too long ago, I thought the same thing!!Moonraker wrote:

I agree - I shouldn't think it does have the same overtones. Really I was just being jokey. I don't mind what language people use, but I agree that sticking to Blytonian language is more fitting to the website!Anita Bensoussane wrote:

Oh, I don't agree. The Ten Commandments have the same "overtones" globally for the world's Christians. It isn't just a word, to Christians the word denotes the Son of God.Anita wrote:By the way, I'm not getting at Sunskriti so I hope it doesn't come across that way.

Course it doesn't come across that way, but yeah, we do say it rather casually around here, in fact that may also be because we're not Christians. (We being my family, not Indians in general.)Anita wrote:By the way, I'm not getting at Sunskriti so I hope it doesn't come across that way.

I think we should all 'speak' using Julian's vocabulary - Dick is a bit too racy!Darrell71 wrote:Well, I hadn't seen this thread till just about now, and that's because Anita sent me the link in a PM, because I used it again!Course it doesn't come across that way, but yeah, we do say it rather casually around here, in fact that may also be because we're not Christians.

In any case, I'll edit it out from that post and the other, more recent one.
Oh dear, I keep getting in trouble for such things, but honestly it didn't strike me that it could be even remotely offensive, hmm... maybe I should check what else may count as blasphemy or be offensive.
