re: #409 WinterCat

I am well aware of the meaning of the word. However, being used in this context it was intended as a flirtation with a disgusting word that should never be used and served to discredit the people on this site.

It wasn’t funny and it was in extremely poor taste.

Perhaps it was used that way, but we can’t just go banning words willy-nilly simply because they sound like more offensive words.

To pull from my own experience about being misheard over words that sound similar but have entirely different roots..
I once had a problem with a girl in junior high. She and I went for the same seat in the class. I got there first, and she whined. I said she was horrible, and that got misheard as me calling her something else entirely.
