And everyone thought I was censoring the word punting. 🤣 Or at least, that is my defence M'Lud.

Hey "pisseth" is in the Bible. And yes the original hebrew is not the polite term. Neither of the individuals who used it were in a polite state of mind when they used it and with reason.

Well, if I remember correctly, the French even have a committee that regulates their language to ensure that pesky words from other languages do not dilute the mother tongue.
