AB Management and Staff -- Can you come up with similar "TRY SAYING... INSTEAD OF" phrases, maybe specifically for AB? Add them to your answer to the main question. PLEASE use the same format, or at least dash out certain letters. I'm sure we will KNOW what the words are. ;-) [EDIT] NOTE: If that last request is not complied with, I will ask to have this question flagged myself. I thought we could have some fun with it, and was VERY careful NOT to use those words myself, and asked, specifically, that they NOT be used.. PLEASE USE THE ABOVE FORMAT FOR CERTAIN WORDS - You KNOW what they are - or, at the VERY least, DASH OUT SOME OF THE LETTERS. [EDIT #2] As some can attest, their answers HAVE been removed for spelling out the words. (NOT by me.) Others, who did as asked, did NOT have their answers (or comments) removed. I repeat, PLEASE AT LEAST DASH OUT CERTAIN WORDS (you KNOW what they are).

your using alot of f words don`t you think that is rude ab staff

I can say that I will f****** try +5

lol some of this reminds me of SouthPark; Step one, instead of a$$ say buns, like kiss my buns or you're a bunshole Step two, instead of sh-t say poo as in bull poo, poo head and this poo is cold Step three, with b**ch drop the T cause "bich" is latin for generosity Step four, don't say f*ck anymore, cause f*ck is the worst word that you can say. So Just use the word "mmmkay"

Political Correctness run afok -- er, I mean amok

Laughs. Since when are we all in 3rd grade and incapable of reading and handling foul language without crying in a corner? You are READING the F word. No one is shouting it in your ear. So it's all very silly to me when people complain about it. Yes, it is legit to complain if someone is personally attacking you, but dropping the f bomb in an answer not meant to hurt anyone else and being slapped on the hand for it is stupid. For example, "I f-cking love chocolate" - I don't see what's wrong with that statement. I've been vulgar in quite a few of my answers and many of them have been deleted just because I used the f word or said titties instead of boobs. Trying to be humorous not offensive. I mean, come on people. I'm not here to PLEASE everyone. In fact, most people on here don't even GET my humor and that's okay. AB should allow us to be ourselves. Waste your time on reporting people for legitimate reasons. Like Sym said, I refuse to change my vocabulary to participate on a website. Nonetheless, thank you for the laugh. And aren't you proud of me that I didn't curse? Except for 'f-cking'. Oh wait, I said it again. Sorry.

Heh! Reminds me of a list I once saw circulating around work. Instead of using foul explicatives or politically incorrect wording or phrases, you just picked a number from the list and put it in your correspondence. Pretty funny!

Big Daddy, what you wrote WAS hilarious. Even what I was called once, sounded so much better how you phrased it. . If people have to use profanity, it shows the range of their speech. Try and do this at your job site if you are in 80% of jobs today. . Some of AB Staff also show favoritism in ignoring this language for some ABers and PBing others. 14 year olds are on this site and feel free to use profanity. . AB could be an upstanding site of fun instead of lying in the gutter with the lowlifes around.
