There are lots of words that were culturally okay to say here once upon a time until we moved past them. Being a stalwart resister to keep that specific word okay makes you a well

Since the derail is going strong I might as well ask: outside the forums, is using the c word accepted when referring to genitalia specifically? It's my preferred one as all the others sound kinda cutesy. Notes for context: I'm not in either the US or Australia and I don't possess a vagina myself at this time (but might in the future). Anyway here's a picture I had on my phone and don't think I've seen itt.

I'd like to give my 0.02 dollarydoos as an Australian-- Australians are by and large garbage and you can safely ignore the fuckheads going "but it's part of My Culture, just like the South Africans and all their cutesy not-racist terms!". Keep the c-word banned and probate anybody who uses it, if they say it's part of their culture then that's a point against them, not in their defence

Outrail posted:This might possibly be the dumbest thing I'll read today. Eh, if you're going for an actual translation meaningful to native speakers, it's best policy. I think what they're saying is that you don't want to directly translate "deliveries in the back" or whatever, you give the meaning that you're trying to convey to a bi-lingual person and have them just put what should actually be there. You see it plenty the other way around outside of Anglophone countries too - lots of weird phrasing on touristy signs pointing out poo poo like directions to the bathroom that will make you chuckle. Now, the really dumb part of that article is that the translator had an auto-respond out of office message that was only in Welsh. Like, what the gently caress? If you're in a bi-lingual office situation you put it in both if there isn't an agreed upon language for correspondence. Plus, you're the person who's entire job is to translate stuff for the presumably English-dominated workplace, so you can kinda assume that the vast majority of your cowokers aren't going to be able to read the OOO message.

Yeah, that would be dumb, but the article just said the auto-responder was in Welsh. Maybe the article glossed over them also having it in English and the translator is completely blameless, but that's the version we've got to look at.

That's all cop departments. You can find several examples of cops standing in front of a table with several stacks of fanned out cash that are all ones and fives when you zoom in.

Besides, even though that word isn't as big a deal to Australians as it is to Americans, it's not nice to upset people and it's really no great loss to just not use that word if it makes people happy. Its presence makes more people more upset than it makes people happy. The only arguments I'm seeing for keeping it is "well I don't see what the big deal is" and "we don't mean it that way", and "but my freedoms!" and that's really just being a cock about it.
