[QUOTE="witzend, post: 183398, member: 99"] When I was about 7 years old, I went to the dentist and had a flouride treatment for the first time. He had talked it up as something wonderful tasting. YUCK! He asked how I liked it. (What an idiot to ask!) I said "It tastes crummy." He said "Don't use that word!" I had no idea of which word he was talking about. My mom told me that he meant "crummy". I asked why. She said it wasn't a nice word. Now, I had heard my mother use that word regularly and my mother did not swear, so I was pretty confused. In the car, she told me that some people had different meanings for different words. If anyone can explain to me the "naughty" meaning for "crummy", would you PM me? Because I still can't figure it out. Suz, I get your drift, but if we are using the word by saying "inhaled deeply" or "hoovered", isn't censoring the word we all want to use kind of - I don't know what the right word is, here. We all know what we mean... Just my .02. I'm not in charge. And hats off to all of you who are, because I wouldn't have the patience to deal with the minutiae day in and out. You [I]know[/I] that's true! :applause: [/QUOTE]
