In the News What

[Jaws]

OK, as I see it....
A prejudged committee of one has assumed my wording (as others have stated) commonly referring to my quote as 'lady parts'. Fair enough, but it's not.
The English dictionary also defines this word as an 'unpleasant or stupid person' of which, was my real intention in the sentence. To assume that I was referring to 'women's genitals' is not very bright.
If you have read the whole paragraph that relates to the link that I provided, then you would conclude that using this word (as you assumed) has been taken out of context. A very narrow minded decision by Mr Beaker & probably a certain amount of delusional chivalry thrown in the mix.
Anyhow, let's get some things cleared up.
1, I do not frequent this site to be policed or judged by the likes of you.
2, AI needs updating to protect ALL
existing & future snowflakes.
3, Selective editing based on an assumption is bang out of order, when so many other post's could be classed as offensive & surely this is down to the individuals interpretation.
Seriously considering closing my account on here.
Yes, I'm that pissed off.

How about asking some ladies what they think, perhaps Minkey would care to comment ?

What do others think about it ?
I am happy to go along with the majority..
To that end I will set up a 4 day poll and will abide by the wishes of the majority

What was the word?

Ok...just seen the poll.


There are 5 letters in the plural "word", why are there 6 #'s?

Individual interpretation.

Yes agreed.. I have just found this, which indicates no matter what use it is put to, the root remains the same

noun Slang: Vulgar.

1. the vulva or vagina.
2. Extremely Disparaging and Offensive.
   • a contemptuous term used to refer to a woman.
   • a term used to refer to a contemptible person. Inc. referencing the person to female vulva or vagina

My offices are a free space where swearing and losing your shit are positively encouraged activities. And believe me when I tell you that the "ladies" are the worst offenders. But I won't have that word either spoken or included in any messaging or emails.

As a by the by, it makes me wonder WHY that female version is so disliked while calling someone a cock, prick, dickwad et al seems perfectly acceptable ?

EDITED at the request of John in the interest of world peace.

It usually auto changes that word to ladyparts

I laughed a little too hard at that phrase !!

I know a few people who could be described as man parts ….

I must admit, I often think the same. Why is it the one insult that is almost universally considered taboo yet, as you say, every other word for genitalia is (more or less) accepted.?

 

[sr71caspar]

You could also write the word as 'ladyparts' or 'beaker'...

Bit harsh to blame Beaker, he is admin & has a duty, as stated the word has always been banned on here, before Beaker became a member, if other admin had seen it no doubt they would have done exactly the same.
I enjoy sharing banter with you & think bird would be a poorer place without you so I hope you stay, Jaws has explained why that particular word is not allowed & believe me I’ve been banned from sites for using much milder language so all in all I enjoy the freedom of bird.

A heads up first would have been more appropriate.
Am I expected to read the forum rules everytime I log on?

No mate.. In fact I do not think it is in the rules ( I think there are only three )... it is just one of those things that has always been
Shows how generally well mannered you are that it has never come up before

Be honest. You're banned from most other sites aren't you?

Just to clarify, it was not a committee of one, it is something that was brought in donkeys years ago at the request of many many forum members
All Andy did was happen to spot it before me
