I dunno I really don’t wanna sit and go through every word in the English language. And what’s that all about? How are kids going to know what a pop-shot is?

No words.
Acting responsibly does not come from being uneducated. If parents think words in the dictionary are a bad influence then they should teach their children to make better decisions, not try to hide them from the world.

The kid probably saw the word during class, was talking about it later and the parents overheard. That’s my guess.

A dictionary used in a school should NOT have sexually related terms other than those which may be taught in Biology As for why the parent looked it up, perhaps he was just browsing and his dirty mind just happened to alight on those words.

Personally I know that when I got my first grown up dictionary the first word I looked up were swear words. (I hasten to add that I was 17 at the time.)

Yahoo is also guilty of censoring words. Perfectly innocent words which just happen to have a vulgar association.

For example I answered a question the other day which asked about birds. I listed some of those which I see here in Central Scotland including t!ts. If I had spelt it properly with an "i", not an "!" all that would have been shown by Yahoo would have been ****.

The same applies to @ss, which is a cross between a horse and a donkey. Because it is also used as a vulgarism for bahookey would also have been asterisked.

If I had ever referred to my mistakes as b00bs then they too would be censored.

Three simple little words are being classed with, (among others,) the four lettered word meaning fornication.

It is ridiculous.

well, I found the word ‘merde’ in a French dictionary at school once (merde is French for s**t, for those who dont know what it means) and thought nothing of it, apart from it was amusing.
and dictionaries will always have swearwords in them. they just need to make school- appropriate dictionaries……..

simples……
