The one I find really weird is 'Zag' This came up in conversation one day when someone mentioned 'Zig and Zag'. Maybe I've led a sheltered life, but if someone could explain why Zag is a bad word I'd much appreciate it! Posted by RICHORFORD
"Zig and zag" is, apparently, cockney rhyming slang for making the beast with two backs.
More likely though, "zig-zag" or "zag" is also a term for a rolled joint.
(with the dashes removed) isn't permitted on this forum for some reason, so I'm unable to mention two players screen names in the the tournament results thread. It's OK to have that word in your screen name, but you're not permitted to say it on the forum!
I called someone an "A**" and was told that was offensive whereas donkey ( same thing ) is fine. They probably thought I meant "Bottom" but then he's a character from Shakespeare and the A*** version has an "R" in it unless your American and they are not allowed to play. (By the way does the ban on Americans include Vegas -which makes the whole ruling hypocrasy?) On a serious note the people who say it should be OK to swear because it is an 18+ site forget that while only adults can use the site many of them have kiddies sitting on their laps/backs/heads. Had to remove A** by-the by even though Jesus road into Jerusalem on one. Does that mean the Easter story is banned ?

I'm so "street" it's unbelievable.
Maybe they don't like us being too political?
I was commenting on a hand that had just finished by typing 'kicker wars', not trying to instigate the revolution (that's on next weeks to do list).
M-a-y-n-e

One word that got blocked tonight was Hi tler.
Despite what he did he is a historical figure which you learn about in history lessons at school
