(57,936 posts)The banning was just way over the top. The post was simply stupid. Removing it should have been the worst that happened. Really.
I guess that expression is something the younger generation knows and uses. I had never seen it before. But NYC_SKP did not use the "c" word, and it goes to show you how crowd insanity works. I'm getting posts to my posts responding that he used the "c" word, and threads are begun warning about using the word. And the only people who used the "c" word are those writing posts about the "c" word.
I can just picture my dear husband, with his love of language discovering the new expression that NYC_SKP used. I would hear it several times before it would quietly join his vocabulary of very colorful, delightfully shocking words. My husband learned his English in the United States Air Force and knows lots of very expressive ones, but I never head this stunningly clever cunning stunt expression. Anyone who is fascinated with language could not help but find that expression one to repeat and rejoice in. Sorry it was not the "c" word. Far from it.
