You certainly did. Think FaQQer was one of the casualties of that when I first tried to stop swearing on here...

If Brownies are mini-Guides then just how young are 'Rainbows' ?

What is next, clubs for the unborn?

Daughter used to help out with Rainbows (mini-Brownies). The leaders and helpers all had flower names. She was Primrose. The mind boggles...

This 'swearing' thing bemuses me. Not saying it should be an effing and blinding free for all, but if everyone knows tulip means tulip, surely anyone who would take offence by the original word would take offence by its replacement. To me context is the thing - someone saying they've had a tulip day is different to someone telling me I'm tulip.

I regret I have let standards slip recently.

It happens to us all occasionally...

Brilliant!

I would just like to point out though, if anyone gets involved in a ridiculous flame war with some one in the near future it's going to have to be a little bit more sophisticated than the usual gumpf, otherwise it's going to sound like an episode of the Night Garden on CBeebies!

Just an observation.

HONK!

MF

Wally?

I missed that one. So now I'm trying to guess...

Was the word W and the same number of letters, or just the W? Or did it not begin with a W at all?

Hmmm...

I just love the fact that the worst obscenity in the English language is substituted by the word daffodil.

Well as long as there is no disconbangleflooching of the intended cardumblification then people will tend not to get brunklesnadwiched over the intricacies of verbal fistramification.

HTH
