When you need to type an offensive word you should leave out at least one letter and replace it with something like an asterisk.
Do you believe that by the insertion of an asterisk no one will know what you mean? If so there is absolutely no point in putting the naughty word in the first place, even though an attempt has been made to disguise it!
What you don't do is type the full word and then stick a dash in there, pointless really.
Same applies to an asterisk in my book, but then I could be wrong!
If you need to know what tw*t means, Google it and you might be surprised because some people including myself find the use of it way over the top and I class myself as very broadminded.
So Google is now the be all and end all of producing accurate definitions? Not in my book!
In a proper dictionary the objectionable word has TWO DISTINCT meanings viz:
Definition of
t**t (
you know what I mean)noun1 vulgar slang a woman’s genitals.
2 a person regarded as stupid or obnoxious.
Google has many other obviously contrived definitions. I was using the term in its second meaning, i.e. regarding myself as stupid! I hope now that my critics may take another look at the matter and should they feel it necessary to offer an apology. Most unlikely that such will happen.
Please keep the debate going.
Perhaps I should have used twyllo!
