*kitten*

I've seen this pop up now in several threads and I have no idea where it came from or what exactly it means. I'm assuming it's a way to censor profanity, but is it a blanket for all swear words or specific ones? I guess I'm behind on this trend.

    I believe it's what the moderators of the forum use to blank out swear words

    The fun part is just accepting the *kitten* without figuring out what curse word got censored. Makes for fun reads.

    I lost a *kitten* load of weight.

    I really kicked *kitten* at the gym!

    Paleo/low carb/IIFYM is a *kitten* type of diet.

    Will squats make my *kitten* bigger?

    That last one always gets me... :D ... :#

    FIFY.


    Actually started as a joke, but after reading some things, it was funny and better than "***"; so we left it as kitten.

    You need to change it up though. Maybe do a poll once every 3 months to see what word should be used.

    :)

    You are a little bit brilliant....

    The looks when a "what the *kitten*" slips out are just priceless :tongue:

    At least they are much better than the looks you get for "Effing", which all seem to say "So sad and pitiable".

    Is it possible to have different animals for different words? It would be like visiting a zoo every day. <3

    Just a little pre-research...

    that kind of defeats the point though, then its just cursing in code....
