    Moist is a funny one IMO, totally depends on context.

    Willy is just funny. I approve of it regardless of its sexiness level.

    I is freakin' tired today... spent the day organising everything for a retirement do later, think I will make my excuses and leave early!

    Might see about getting tomorrow off, I've been asked to give a neonatal blood donation and it might be nice to go straight home after.

    I used to work with a woman who couldn't say "moist". We dealt with contact lenses called Acuvue Moist and she called them Acuvue M's. She even called them the newer acuvue to patients.

    I like the word willy too...it means I can talk about penises without offending anyone!

    My normal word is nsfw. Sometimes I forget what company I'm in when I use it. :o

    Are people offended by the word penis? I hope not, because that's what I've been teaching James to say...

    Really don't get people who are offended by the correct anatomical terms...

    I’ve never gotten a facial in any other salon apart from my friends. I just know I’d cry laughing saying it to a stranger :o

    Neither do I, but it really is amazing what people get offended by!

    As with referendums/referenda, while penii is technically the correct plural, the other version (penises) has become standard in common use and is thus also acceptable. (Nyah!)

    Have you tried putting him on his tummy? (while supervised, obv.). My sister-in-law's first child had awful colic and that used to help.

    Oh, 2,500 words on the endocrine system. Really? Must I? Why are all my assignments due at the same time? Typical. Feast or a famine.

    I banned the m-word from my vocabulary years ago. It is disgusting and horrible and should be removed from the English language immediately. I nearly gag when someone just says it within earshot of me.

    Stupid question alert: anyone know how you discount footnotes from the wordcount in Word 2007?

    The one mentioned a page or two back by Krudler. You might use it to describe a particularly succulent cake or muffin!

    Actually, succulent is borderline too, now that I think of it...

    Go to the review tab at the top, then click word count. There's a box you can uncheck to turn off counting footnotes
