A post that was just removed from the forum for a foul word.

Question

I detest vulgar language and there is no place for it at SpnishDict.

---

However the the post that was just removed does not fall into that catagory. The post contained the word "puta" which is foul; but not a curse word. As I stated: Shakespear uses this word in the same context -- would he be censored here?

It is part of all languages Daniel - but here we have to be careful with what we write. xxx - ian-hill, OCT 3, 2009

Answer 1

Daniel you might be right, but there are a lot of kids here. A lot of people use it with malice, and some of the answers given to such questions are unnecessarily dirty.

I agree, but that did not happen with the post under discussion. - Daniel, OCT 3, 2009

My apologies, I am not sure I am following here... "but that did not happen with..." are you saying the word wasn't written under the discussion? I am just trying to sort this out. :) - Jason7R, OCT 3, 2009

Yes the word was in the question of the post. and the discussion. - Daniel, OCT 3, 2009

Answer 2

Daniel, I understand that word uses change from place to place but that word, in my experiences, only has one meaning. If "foul" is what you were looking for I would suggest a number of other words such as: fétido, fétida, asqueroso, asquerosa, sucio, sucia, horrible, falta (as a noun), or ensuciar (make dirty). This is just a thought. Take it for what it is worth.

Daniel meant that "puta" is a foul word - not that she was wanting another word for foul. - ian-hill, OCT 3, 2009
