Prude is good. There should be more prudes around, especially in public places.

I still remember the bar of soap I got, just like Ralphie is "A Christmas Story" -- a nice, piquant, after-dinner flavor...

But colorful or emphatic language is a different story.

For the record my reasoning concerning the word in question is that it wouldn't surprise me to find more than a few adult women posters here who find it offensive. If I'm wrong on that, I can be so educated, although I would still prefer it not be used. Somehow it's so jarring on a religion forum, ya know?
