Why can we

[El_Cid_2000]

say fuck here but not ****** (transmission)?

You can say transmission all you like.. However, the owners of this website don't like the word shortend when used to refer to a automobile transmission.. It's their personal taste and their personal site so that's just how it is.

'Cause that word that was blacked out is not in Kyle's Merriam-Webster's edition.

Eric,
Thanks, I guess that clears it up and I sort of figured that what it was anyway.

PM,
Are you saying there is some type of language database preinstalled in the software for this BBS? Sorry if my feeble attempts at computer speak failed but I know almost nothing about computers.

Yes, they have their site set up so that you can't post words that they don't want to see.. Like the short version of Transmission...

Or maybe

The word fuck happens when you break something off road and the word fuck*** is some thing you may be doing off road and then there is a picture in our minds and we may not like it.
Mike just kidding about all of the above

Because a Jeep has a t-r-a-n-n-y and a Rover has a transmission.
