It's just how you were brought up. Saying "bugger", "git", "crap" and "twat" is fine in my family, but my parents get all pissy if I say "poxy", which really winds me up.

Anyways, I'm a firm believer that no words should be censored, and that every person should be able to say what they want when they want. Every man should be entitled to freedom of speech, and yet no one is.

Poxy?

Is that even a word?

I've also never heard "git" used except in those cheesy old TV western shows...
