Surely no word causes more giggles than “penal” (as in, “Convicts were sent to penal colonies in Australia”)…

Hee hee

I couldn’t understand some parts of this article Resplendently Scandalicious Scrotaphobias, but I guess I just need to check some more resources regarding this, because it sounds interesting.

Ok, call me utterly stupid..

My word is neither dorky nor dirty, but for some inexplicable reason it causes a bit of a stir when I say it at school:gay. It’s weird. It’s like my school does not want to acknowledge the fact that gay people exist. I was telling my friend about The Bermudez Triangle (by Maureen Johnson) and the vice principle heard. She turned five shades of red and looked like she was about to reprimand me but then realized she couldn’t because I didn’t do anything.

I’m not gay, but I know a couple people who are, and I love them just as much as my straight friends. I think I need to transfer schools. Mine is full of homophobes.

Wow, this has become long and really off topic.

In 5th grade, my friend and I would look at each other whenever the teacher said, “thing, balls, it,” and so on. She would say “yur-uh-nus” to avoid saying, your anus. My favorite dorky dirty word is, “coconuts or bazongas”

That’s crazy they should be happy those kids are reading. I agree with the music ban. I even like a few of those songs, but I could flip through the radio stations and hear a bunch of inuendo in a few seconds. If they’re smart enough to read and comprehend the word scrotum then I think they’re old enough to handle it.

My favotite dorky-dirty word is probably vagina. Mostly because my friend, who’s a guy, always says “Va-jay-jay” and it’s funny in a really creepy way.

Banning books is just ridiculous! If anything, music should be banned. I’m not saying music with one swear in it. I’m talking about songs such as “Maneater” “Fergelicious” and, the queen of them all… “My Humps.” That’s what’s teaching kids a bad lesson, not a book with the word “scrotum” in it!

Mine is “testicles.”

We are studying banned books in my Children’s Lit class in college, but we aren’t required to read the book we write our paper and take a stance on; the professor said that secondary sources were fine.

I was very, very angry. THIS is what they are teaching future educators.
