this year in World History class there was a whole list of words that our teacher couldn't use, such as hoe. we discovered a lot more voer the course of the year, just because he would say one and we'd be like, what was that? of course, sometimes he would make an effort to actually use one of the words just to set us off.... if he HADN'T had the list, he wouldn't have.... so maybe the lists make people MORE profane, because they say, ha, they think i shouldn't use this word. bwah ha ha i'll say it anyways.
