Baze . . . I did not visit that thread after your post, which is evident. If you care to do a search that is the only time I have used that word in 2300 odd posts as far as I am aware.

Again it is like Randy, rooting, or cr*p ... totally different levels of acceptance, in different places by different people. The word you mention is used daily HERE in Australia in most levels of conversation. It is as socially acceptable at any level HERE as cr*p is, or ar*e. Far more so IMHO. And NONE are "profane".

In the USA, it may be different. We all pick these things up, and for instance now attention being raised to "pis*ed" I will personally be mindful of it, although I wonder if cr*p will be used by others here any less??!!

Do you not have a problem with that one yourself?
