I've just been told by the Janitor that from now on you can no longer use the names of body parts on this forum. That includes a**s, l**s, f***, h***s, h***, c****, s****** and the many others. And you may certainly not say the word penis. Ever.

Who said anything about body parts? I deleted it so you wouldn't have to face the shame of having posted an absolutely pathetic and humorless dobie despite having two weeks to think of it.
There are times when words are appropriate, and there are times when they are not, and you being fully aware of the difference choose the inappropriate times. I'm asking you again to stop it.

Pops, while I wholeheartedly encourage the regular deletion of things jebus posts, I've got to ask whether you might consider extending this merciful "anti-shame" policy to the aggressive deletion of all pathetic and humorless dobies. I'd send money.

Oh the shame of it! I thank you for your kindness, oh merciful one!

Sooo, when is penis approriate and when is penis not appropriate?

I'm telling you, this ten-minute editing window is the greatest thing that ever happened to Hatrack. It allows my superego to catch up to my id.

ok, now that I see what thread you were trying to dobbie I can understand why Pop deleted your thread. Come on, are you seriously trying to tell me that you didn't think that was over the line?

Oh and by the way, it isn't the word that is rude it was the way in which the word was used that was rude. I regularly used the word penis in front of my fifth grade class, of course I was teaching a sex eduaction and abstinence course, so... you know, there is a time and place for all things.

Jebus is occasionally funny. He's also occasionally the only one to say what I suspect others besides me are thinking. Like most iconoclasts, he's discomforting sometimes.
He's also ... off his rocker sometimes, which doesn't help.

I can assure you that whatever you may think, I'm not a part of Jebus (though I believe I do have some Irish ancestry on my mother's mother's side.)

I admit that I thought it many times; I chose not to post it (or even reference it obliquely).

I didn't think of it until reading through all of this thread. So I guess this is causing people to think of it.
I lie not, there was a man named Semen in my customer database at work and also someone with the last name Lifshits. I believe they were Russian immigrants. Posts: 2010 | Registered: Apr 2003

100 points to Eni for that spot-on translation!
Sid, I'm afraid that you are in the negative column, and won't be able to join us for Final Jeopardy.

Olivet, really? Why? I can't think of many landmarks that I've been so thoroughly engrossed by; I think it would be a shame to delete or fail to archive it, although of course that's your right as its author.
And don't worry about the title either--the fact that there's on obvious and risque dobie to be made of it...well, who cares? It's an intriguing title.
As for the dobie, I'm almost glad jebus finally stepped into action; it's been like waiting for the other shoe to drop.
And as for jebus, I often snort in response to his posts. He's off the mark occasionally, but he's on the mark often enough that I'd be sad to see him stop.

I thought of it, and made an oblique reference in the thread (hoping to forstall it). Which makes the dobie I never saw unoriginal as well.

So are family-inspired code names for various body parts acceptable? Words like dinkle and/or winkle, ta-tas, dokies and jumblies, or Everyone's Secret Nicknames for Naughty Bits?
What about Everyone's Secret Nickname for No-So Naughty Bits like Mr. Elbow, Professor Nape or Betty Thighbone?

In 19th century novels, they usually say "limbs" instead of "legs" which was considered to be language too racy to be appropriate for ladies to use or read. I love it that they're so delicate about things like that.
I also love when people would say "Go to the D___l" and they would blank the word out like that. What strong language! My delicate mind and spirit are much relieved and grateful not to be exposed to such!

Is it only appropriate to use the word "arm" in biology classes?

Yo Goo Boy, I think you missed the point if you were hoping for an original dobie.
Now, don't stop discussing my sanity and humour (or total lack there of). It's very interesting.

I wouldn't be surprised if the mod(s) caught it without having to be whistled.
I'll admit I thought of that dobie, too, but that is because the word in Portuguese is pronounced exactly like "pennies". This led to a somewhat unfortunate (yet also hilarious) incident on my mission during a lesson with some non-members who my companion and I were teaching about the church. Maybe I'll start a thread about funny mis-translation incidents sometime. Posts: 6394 | Registered: Dec 1999
