After a quick browse today I keep seeing the c*nt word appearing on a few threads, I don't mind swearing but I find this word particularly offensive, thought we had a swear filter on here??

Cheers

It's obviously not picking it up.

Please could you point me at some examples.

Don't know why people feel the need to use it mind you.

Aren't some people prudes? It's just a word.
Anyone see the BBC program about the OED where Germain Greer delved into the history of the word - very interesting? She said the word on BBC TV about 16 times! Whatever has the world come to

BTW - when testing make sure that Shorpe and Peniston don't get blocked

True, but many people find it offensive.

More importantly it could result in nanny-filters blocking PH access in offices.

I think I suffer from virtual tourettes, I read things, I think about my opinion of the poster, I think about the context of their post, I think about the validity of their post, but in the 0.2 nano seconds that has taken to complete I just type c*nt, It often just seems so appropriate

Not particularly sure where the word picked up it's current crude meaning, but it is actually the word for a bunny rabbits tail before it moults to be replaced by teh adult tail.

It's a shame something so cute can be so crude.
