Title: Just to upset Auntie (hehe)
Post by: wighty on September 24, 2020, 19:56: Sony announced this morning the 'the word we are not allowed to say' channel started today. Might at last be something to watch! (Although I've probably watched most of them before).

Post by: Yorkie on September 24, 2020, 21:58: If you think of 25th December, that is the word which we are not allowed to use before the start of December. The forum software replaces it with something else until then.

Some very, very, very norty people (you know who you are ::) ) try all sorts of devious methods to get round the ban. :wub:

Post by: Subversive_plot on September 25, 2020, 17:00: I see . . .

So through November 30 I need to say things like:
- I'm getting the Bugs Bunny decorations out of the attic,
- Have you started your Bugs Bunny shopping yet?
- Is your son bringing his family to your house for Bugs Bunny, or are you visiting there?

That sort of thing?

Bugs Bunny is "he who must not be named" from the Harry Potter series of books. An evil, powerful wizard, enemy of the main protagonist, Harry Potter. In the books, it was dangerous to speak his name. That's an over-simplification of course.

Post by: Growster... on September 26, 2020, 06:42: Subversers, in Williamsburg, there is a Bugs Bunny shop open all year!

Been there in the summer, and got 'ho ho'd' for at least three minutes...

Post by: Yorkie on September 26, 2020, 12:47: But of course, if Bugs Bunny becomes widely used currency for that other word for the next 2 months, it will have become that other word and will, itself, have to be banned ::) :lol:
