In one of my answers instead of writing ciggie, I wrote the word f*g this was blocked out I just wondered why?

the origination of the word f*g comes from the English Public School system. A f*g was a first year student age 13 and he was the 'servant' of senior boys a kind of gopha, he would do all their menial tasks, fetching and carrying etc, it was meant to instill a kind of discipline and humility into them unfortunately half of the poor little sods (Is that word acceptable?) got bugger*d, hence its now derogatory overtones and sad git Americans who don't understand the English language. Having said all that i think I'll light up a f*g!

If you want to get around all that bu**llshi*t, just put a few *8}'s in the words and f*ag and pu55y and bit(h will slide through like 5hit off a shiny shovel. They are not that clever.

Yahoo automatically blocks out offensive words like f*g, p***Y, f**k. etc. Although you intended it as slang for a smoke, yahoo thought you were making a slur against g*ys.

USA english has been corrupted over the years and as the americans think they rule the world, what they say goes.

The f word is American slang for a homosexual man. Yahoo blocks this.

Same thing exactly happened to me, though I changed it in the preview bit. I think the Septics must find it offensive to queens.

soon all zebra crossing have to be painted because in this Politically correct world white and black is a swear word.

the world is going mad....

Because it's a derogatory name for a homersexual.

F#g, bi*ch and sl%t are naughty words in America as is A#s.

However, wanker is socially acceptable!

makes you think eh!

Interestingly it also blocks b!tch which I have used when talking about the sex of my dog
