For the protection of our Forum Users! BAN THESE WORDS!

[Juliette]

claiming that it is what grows on the fig tree (also known as ficus tree) is not a good reason... the product of that tree is a fruit, not a nut...

/argument

[RoKeT]

I personally had no idea what the meaning was and was not offended, in myself, but he does have a point if your going to ban all offensive words why not ban ALL offensive words...

fignuts
An exclaimation of displeasure, often used by a certain character on Sealab 2021.
I lost my keys, oh fignuts!

[yofeehely]

Can't say I did not try ...


To show you the flaw in your logic: the f-word is used in its primary meaning to describe the act of copulating. "Making love" describes the very same act. Now tell me, does the f-word being a "bad" word lead to "making love" being just as bad?

Ok so if anyone wants their children educated in sex please refer them to here... Honestly once again this is not the same or anywhere near the same as our name.

And yes 'making love' is a bad word if you use the reasoning behind the banning of our name... IF you can't see the relevance then in my opinion none of you should be mods/admins.

Argument is simple really... Our name is a made up word... A certain website which is in itself a humorous joke decided to give it a certain meaning...

This 'meaning' is not even as offensive as saying 'making love' around children (who more than likely frequent this forum).
This 'meaning' is not even as offensive to some as calling them an 'idiot' or 'simpleton' which are words used here in this forum.
This 'meaning' is not as offensive as being called a "pedantic little **Filtered**" by the very person that has instigated this banning.

So in summary our name means (according to a comic website)...
Stupid, Ugly, Unsociable and Loser.

Are any of these words banned here? NO! Are they used? HELL YES!

Oh sorry and back on topic... Can we please get around to filtering all of the words outlined in my original post?

Oh and you should probably add "pedantic little **Filtered**" to the list as well!

Another entry for fignut: Fignut
Someone who is really stupid or just a moron
He is a total fignut.

Not terribly offensive in that sense really.

Also, bear in mind that the word was created for a show that contained PG episodes and did not exceed PG-14 rating for USA

Seriously, someone found a definition on URBAN DICTIONARY and went on a crusade to get the word banned.

How about if we found a definition for Juliette on the same website defining the word as "loser emo woman with a dead boyfriend" would that get juliette banned?

Lets find out, I'll go put in an entry on urban dictionary right now

PS my comment above was related to Juliette from Romeo and Juliette and not the forum fighter previously known as Offensive Bias

[Jim]

it would be different, as there would be other definitions for the word...
to my knowledge, the one this thread is supposedly about has just the one

Wrong.
I have quoted a different one already and will give you another:

Someone who's testicles resemble figs.
"I spent all day in the pool and now I have fignuts!"

also there are two about sexual manouvers.

Check back in an hour or so, I think I fixed that

Well, people don't care about negatively rated definitions from this site (you can always find those often offensive definitions in bottom of urban dictionary results).
However, word filtered in question has first definition as a rude one (one best rated). Well, as for "Juliette" word best rated definition...

Juliette: A really beautiful girl. Always the nicest and has very pretty hair. The one to keep everyone happy. Has a mean streak though and most likely stays with her group of friends. Also average on the smartness level and has a great sense of style.

So point -about those two words' definitions confronted in urban dictionary-, is moot I suppose?

[Jim]

Apparently Jim is a descreet way of saying erection.

yay.

No this is not spam, it has a point. No that was not an intented joke

sorry just couldnt help myself

Actually the fig is one of the symbols for sexuality and sexual pleasure in most classical cultures (for example the egyptic, messopotamic, hindu and roman cultures). The forbidden fruit was not the apple as depicted in many drawings/paintings but the fig (at least MIchelangelo got it right in the Sistine Chapel frescoes). The fig tree was the symbol of the greek god Dionysos and his roman counterpart Bacchus.

In many cultures people see a similarity between the female genetials and the open fig fruit. Thus it has become a term (sometimes derogatory) for the female genitalia - this is the case in Italian for example.

That's why I do find it rather amusing that some of you are trying to deny the "sexually loaded" background of the fig.

And before any misunderstandings occur: I am not pleading to have the word fig filtered nor is this a statement about if the word "fignut" should be filtered or not - although I do find the combination of terms associated with the female and male reproductive organs in a single word very creative.


EDIT: Jim made me aware that I posted in an already locked topic. Sorry
