List of acceptable words and terms, please.

I'm confused. I very seldom see anything hidden by a jury in the Lounge. I believe it's because LynnSin hasn't posted a list. Once we have a list of what we're allowed to say, we can invite the jury in to chastise us appropriately. Let's face it, some of you need a good chastising.

I'll start it off. From this point on the word "ginger" is no longer acceptable when in reference to a redhead. We shall from this day forth be referred to as Freakin' Awesome People. FAPs, if you prefer. There will be no more debate on whether or not we have souls. Frankly, my soul, or lack of, is none of your business. Please keep your religious views out of my body. If I choose to have a soul I will take one.

I'm a woman and have never heard of douching with Fresca. In fact, it would be damned uncomfortable.

I found this:

"At least since the last century, in part because of the prohibition of birth control in many countries, women have douched with various substances, probably including the one below, to attempt to accomplish some or all three of these objectives."

Maybe we should send Mrs. Santorum a case of Fresca.

Edit to add: Uncomfortable? Possibly. Definitely tingly.

Even though I have always believed redheaded ladies were Freakin' Awesome, I think that you might wish to move beyond that particular acronym.

He was much younger than me. I found a "Redheaded MILF" site bookmarked on my computer. He told me I was his "FAP" and was now addicted to redheaded MILFs. It was an odd sort of "awwwwww".

10. 'Chastising'

It sounds like a new dance or a party.

"Oh man, where were you last night?"
"At home. I was weaving baskets. Why?"
"Daaamn! You missed it! We went to Wait Wut's place. It got crazy! Everybody was chastising their asses off! "
"Really? Crap. Details, please."
"CHastising should be done in a much bigger area. It was awesome, until the rash of broken bones. Hey, I gotta go to the bank. We're chipping in to replace the dishes that got smashed."

"cocksucker, cunt, fuck, motherfucker, piss, shit, and tits" - the late, great George Carlin

..."cocksucker" was hidden. I think it was the context, though. I believe "motherfucker" was hidden, as well. "Tits" would be alerted, but probably not hidden. They're breasts, damnit!!! George Carlin would be our Trumad. Forever getting posts hidden. Enough that when he said something interesting or profound, no one would know. We sure could use him here.

It's starting to feel like I'm in grade-school, here. I'm not sure what is acceptable and am often confused as to why one word is alertable, but not another.

But, ENOUGH of this whining!! It's Friday, my kid will be moving here Wednesday, it's a beautiful day in AZ, CaliforniaPeggy is doing well, and, and...um...SOMETHING!!

Perhaps his greatest observations were the fact that tits didn't belong on the list - "Tits meet Toots. Toots, Tits. Tits, Toots." and the fact that some words are unambiguous - "Twats twat and that's that." The guy was an absolute genius. Man I miss him.

Oh - and "I see England, I see France..."

So take your sorry FAP'ing ass off my porch, and get down the road.
