From your Oxford "A piece of “coarse slang” defined as “a term of contempt for a native or inhabitant of the state of Massachusetts,”

So I guess it's OK to use on this forum? Go on and look up **** and all the other words that because they are in the Oxford English Dictionary we should be able to use.

We should be better than that Ishoot.

Not only was the "M" word been added to the Oxford English Dictionary in June 2015, it's referenced in a Forbes Magazine article dated Sept. 2, 2015. Guess it's gone mainstream:

To Tired of Waiting and everyone else: Using obscenities is not allowed on this family friendly forum, even if you change a letter to a punctuation mark. And just because a word appears in the dictionary does not necessarily make it acceptable here.

So using **** is not acceptable but Masshole is? The root word is the same.

I'll just drop this whole thing and let those who can't noodle out what I have been saying continue on their ignorant ways if you let them.

The word you mentioned above (and I changed to asterisks) may not be acceptable here but I don't necessarily consider it an obscenity. In the post that I removed the other day you listed several words that were REAL obscenities (including the C word!) but you got them through by changing some letters to punctuation marks to defeat my automatic screening. You did it again in this post by adding a punctuation mark to a word that the forum would normally block.

Intentionally defeating the forum's filter after being asked not to normally gets you on the moderation list. I won't do that yet if you'll just cut it out!

By the way, I'm allowing this thread about M'oles because it does have some relevance to the Lakes Region and it's visitors and is not just an expletive.

And that's how I feel the folks who use the word defeat your system. As I showed earlier the Oxford Dictionary defines it as :"A piece of “coarse slang” defined as “a term of contempt for a native or inhabitant of the state of Massachusetts,” The same basic definition it gives for the root word. Which is far different than the names others have mentioned for other states.

I also stated earlier I was going to drop this issue and let those who can't noodle out what I have been saying continue on their ignorant ways.

This will really drive TOW crazy but click on the Mass link on the web site. It's even funnier than the NH one.

I'm working my way through all the states I've lived in. They're like those 'roast' shows.

I once had someone tell me that the term "chink in the armor" was racist.

We now return you to the offended, already in progress.

I escaped MA in 1976.

Don't shoot the messenger I have never used the term on this forum...

As an fyi, along with "that word", "twerk" and "fo-shizzle" also made it in on the same day. Just goes to show you what our English language has turned into...

I think I'm now going to twerk my fat arse down to the tiki bar and fo-shizzle me up one of those Patron margaritas!

Have a great weekend!!

Dan I would never shoot at you!!

You are probably a better shooter than me as I still struggle at the 600yd line

I also know you have not used the term. The point of my reply to you was the definition the Oxford has for the word ie, A piece of “coarse slang” defined as “a term of contempt, to support my position not to shoot you.

I apologize if you took it that way.

Now when are you going to "twerk my fat arse down to the tiki bar and fo-shizzle me up one of those Patron margaritas" cause that I have to see
