Phil,

Too cool! I want to tape ‘em all! My college students have a new required ‘watch assignment’.
Thanks,

Clean Blog. Good kind constructive words. No alternatives or substitute for bad words. No swearing. Fully support you. This one needs to be removed in the first place.

(Seriously though. I can’t recall seeing many bad words, though I guess they may have been edited out.)

I got censored once. I used a word beginning with bull. In the mean time I have discovered the alternative word, thanks to Carl Sagan: baloney.

My suggestion: something near this leave-a-reply form that has info on this? A link to this post, maybe, if more info than just a link is impractical?

An idea… might help.

Phil’s old job site, Sonoma State U. in CA, once had a professor who wrote a series of books on profanity called Maledicta. These contained swear words, nasty graffitti, blue poetry and the like from sources all around the world. These were interesting in that virtually every country has such an underground vocabulary which deals with essentially the same topics, often in a very humorous way (see the sections on dirty limericks, e.g.). Profanity has its place in the histories of people all over the planet, it seems. Whether it should be part of this blog’s history is the blogmaster’s choice.
