Despite what many may think, mods included, the etymology of "popsicle" <--- lol the forum filter ("pusi") and "poosssaay"  are not related to lady parts, but rather to this very specific word:

pusillanimous

While many roll in the gutter with various forms of vulgarities, this is not one.

Surrounded by suck and underwhelmed with mediocrity.
I'm always right, it just takes some poepl longer to come to that realization than others.

Ignorance is no excuse and can be addressed.  Those using lady parts as a challenge to one's masculinity are misogynistic since there exist plenty of women who are not pusillanimous.

Uh, it's not about the word being vulgar. It's about who says the word and if the the mods dislike them from what I've seen...

Waa!  :cry

Now this is something to get your knickers is a knot about for sure!

I think you can pull another word from your vocabulary that wouldn't get you banned...or continue to make mountains out of mole hills

Relax!  :cheers:

Maybe the best thing for the game would be to just take away the ability to type or talk. Just leave the check 6 active. That way nobody could get offended or muted :)

Too bad nothing happens to those who feel the need to unleash a stream of profanities on range. I think this is much more offensive then somebody typing the wrong "word"

It's not so much that the word is somehow forbidden; it's used every day in the arena. 

All I pointed out is that pooossayy doesn't relate to lady parts like many seem to think.  That's misogynistic ignorance being addressed.

It's not vulgar - one could call some pooossayy a "pusillanimous milquetoast" instead. Is it offensive? Perhaps to some manbabies that think "gun bunny" is offensive.
