I have wanted to ask about this: Why is it ok to write "a$$" but not "ass" or any other %$&/#! combination when everyone knows exactly what is meant and is reading the word aloud in his/her head? Wouldn't it be more honest just to write the word rather than camouflage in such an uncamouflaged way?

This is ignoring the fact that there are usually much better ways to express yourself. I've always though this way of cursing in writing was very curious.

ummm.. I hate to ask this, but can we keep the censored words kinda like censored? otherwise I'll probably have to put the word a$$ in the censored list.. it's not supposed to be one of those words you use *all* the time KWIM...

besides, some people just don't get it and won't take it nicely, so it's just better to not use it in everday slang.

keep in mind that your making impressions on ppl here, esp youngin's
