ooh
good idea
a lot of people would prefer if I used the term..
reminds me of a story about US President Harry Truman. He was prez from the end of WWII and into the 1950s.
He was often very direct and when he saw something that didn't pass the sniff test he would call it "manure".
This is in a time where cuss words just weren't used in public.
So one day a reporter said "Mr. President..I notice you use the word "manure"..uhm...what if Mrs. Truman were here and heard you use that term in mixed company"
Well he looked at her and said "It took Mrs Truman years to get me to use manure instead of the other word"
