[ExI] censorship

[William Flynn Wallace]

It's all a bunch of sh**t, f***ing A.

Now tell me:  is that censorship when every single person over the age of 3
knows the missing letters?

In Victorian times, there were very prissy about language.  'Pregnant' was
a dirty word.  So was 'legs' ('lower limbs', you had to say, even if you
were talking about a grand piano).

I am interested to know what you think:  why do we do things like this?
Why don't we just use clinical terms for anatomy?  Why do we have hundreds
of names for sexual body parts?

Yeah - I know some theories - I want your input.    bill w
