My mom had a sorority sister who could never bring herself to say the word penis. Since her name was Patty, they called her Patricia Elizabeth Nancy Irene Smith. Moral of the story: Never tell your sorority sisters that there are words you just can't say.
I used to have a co-worker who wouldn't say "breast." She even ordered "chicken chest" if she needed a particular kind of meat.

So when I went to relate a story about pea to my Mom, and said her name is Patricia Elizabeth, Mom goes, "Nancy Irene Smith?" with a huge grin. :D

I know people who won't say "ass" and will even go as far as to type LMBO instead of LMAO.

lol! Trish that reminds me - I know ppl that must say OMGosh just to make sure everyone knows they are using His name in vain.

I find it amusing. It's only words, and it's surely the actual meaning of the word at the time it is used that makes it offensive or not. Reminds me of the George Carlin skit about it being OK to 'prick my finger' but not the other way around.
