      Oh yes,
      a gentle rub-down with a long tanged tool to remove any burrs, then tightly clamp the lips to ensure a good fit and to avoid slippage later

        Really?

        Is there a list of banned but not filtered words anywhere then, or do we find out we've used one of those banned words when we get banned?

        Or is the list also banned?

            Indeed. I wonder what words are acceptable/preferable by women these days?

            At the weekend I overheard some female friends saying how they didn't like the word "pussy" but thought "clunge" (as made 'famous' by The Inbetweeners) was ok as they found it funny.

            Duly noted for future reference.

            Though maybe they're less 'classy' than the typical female.

              Come on, at least give us a hint. I doubt there's a rude word that long, they're all short for a reason, a bit like how people with longish names get called something shorter.

                  I think that is one of those words only ever used in movies to make them sound cool, as perfected by Tarantino.

                    Maybe. But the swear filter doesn't like it. I occasionally use the word in interviews.

                      Maybe you could take it further and research the interviewer(s) via Google/Facebook to find their preferred movies and fit your answers accordingly.

                      Though in IT the safe default is to reference Star Trek.

                      There's a plan B opportunity selling crap from the latest movies. e.g. the wallet from Pulp Fiction was a big seller at the time.

                      Funniest thing I've seen along these lines was walking through town shortly after Boyz N The Hood was released, and seeing a gang of teenagers emulating the characters. One even had a dummy in his mouth.

                      They weren't too happy when I started pissing myself laughing but as I don't behave like a victim when out in public they did nothing about it.
