It's a problem with American derived profanity blocking software as many of the words that we find "offensive" are not to them and vice versa.
There are many examples i could cite but firstly that's not the purpose of this thread and secondly this one is probably the most fruitless of the censorship it creates as there are so many words in our version of English that use this word such as pea-, shuttle-, stop-, -erel (known as a rooster stateside), -tail and so the list goes on.
Oh, I don't know, 'L.S.', most threads digress to a greater or lesser extent, so why should this one be any different?

Anyway, as you've thrown down the gauntlet... What about --a-hoop, -pit, -apoo, -atoo - how many more can we find? We need something to brighten up a cold and wet B H Monday when we aren't either driving or fettling our respective Volvos!

Regards, John.
