When I posted recently about Dr. Nassar's so-called "therapy," I used the correct name for an intimate part of the female anatomy. It was censored and covered with asterisks. My question is, when did this word become a dirty word? I can see censoring an old four-letter Anglo-Saxonism for this part (beginning with "c"), which I do not use and never will, or other contemptible (usually male) terms. It was excruciating to hear news people trying to find euphemisms for a crude term (one woman snickered and said "kitty cat"). For god's sake, it used to be, and rather recently, that nobody could say "condom" on the air. Americans seem to be obsessed with sex but don't want to deal with it in correct, everyday language! ****** is not a dirty word!
since when did ****** become a dirty word?
