So, someone has made a Clean Ap -- replacing "naughty" words with more "acceptable" ones.
And some authors are very not happy (me included as it happens)
Oh my god becomes oh my goodness etc. Bitch becomes witch (sorry pagans)
In a small ray of unintentional hilarity, penis becomes groin, and vagina, anus, buttocks’ and clitoris all become bottom (???)
Which leads us to this "translation":
“‘Where shall I [freak] you, Victoria? Where do you want my [groin]?’ ‘I want it in … my [bottom].’”
Rape it seems is fine though?
Anyway, thoughts anyone? I'm with Joanna Harris, though perhaps for slightly different reasons. I agree that sending a message that body parts are "bad" is very unhealthy.
Besides if they took all my naughty words away, I'd only have a blank page left.
And so that I don't have to post it later, Stephen Fry on the Joys of Swearing (Note: includes swearwords)
