View Full Version : Why is ********* a naughty word?

I can't help but notice that the word ********* is starred out in the posts. Is this political correctness? Or is it because the word christ can be used in a blasphemous way. Either way I think it is odd.


I will have to add **** because mine is starred out.

Christ, I am not allowed to say anything. I mean the event coming up on the 25th of december.

Ah that's allowed! With or without a capital!

should be more like this.....

Chipmunks roasting on an open fire
Jack Frost nipping at the gin
Yuletide Muzak drives shoppers insane
as people hustle in the din

All your kith and kin at once
can be a frightening thought
Well, if they're anything like mine
Tiny tots wonder what Santa brought
No matter what they got, they whine

We know that New Year's is on it's way
With all those charge bills from December left to pay
And each department store is going to cheer
'Cause we'll be desperate again late next year

And so I'm offering a prayer here
to stores from Asda to the Trafford Centre
When you put up those dumb decorations next year,
can't you wait 'til after after Halloween?

No it should be

Silent night, holy night
All is calm, all is bright
Round yon Virgin Mother and Child
Holy Infant so tender and mild
Sleep in heavenly peace
Sleep in heavenly peace

Silent night, holy night!
Shepherds quake at the sight
Glories stream from heaven afar
Heavenly hosts sing Alleluia!
Christ, the Saviour is born
Christ, the Saviour is born

Silent night, holy night
Son of God, love's pure light
Radiant beams from Thy holy face
With the dawn of redeeming grace
Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth
Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth "

noooo it should be..



Feinging joy and surprise at the gifts we despise over mulled wine with you
On the 25th day of the 12th month
The sleigh bells are in time ringing true
How we cling each day long to that snowflakes and hope in hell
that it won’t end

Don’t let the bells end
********* time, just let them ring in peace.

Well the weather is cruel,
and the season of Yule warms the heart, but it still hurts.
You’ve got your career, spent the best part of last year apart and it still hurts
So that’s why I pray each and every ********* day that it won’t end

Don’t let the bells end
********* time, just let them ring in peace.

********* time, don’t let the bells end
********* time, don’t let the bells end

Dust underneath the mistletoe leaves when you’re not here,
You went away upon boxing day,
Now how the hell am I gonna make it into the New Year.

********* time, don’t let the bells end
********* time, don’t let the bells end

********* time, don’t let the bells end
********* time, just let them ring in peace.

********* time, don’t let the bells end
********* time, don’t let the bells end

If you celebrate ********* fair enough, it just seems forced on everyone else to me. And if you do celebrate it, you should start at the first day of ********* surely
