Amusing Censorship

Trainspotter

After posting the name of the actor   *** van *** and falling foul of the auto censor,  I wondered what other amusing censorship would be implemented.  I am not talking about words that should be censored because of their unacceptability but words and expressions that could be spoken in polite society.

Some.of thes may get through as I will not know until they have been posted.

To start off, in my garden I have seen a number of birds, including a great.tit, a blue tit and a coal tit.  In the spring rhere are a number of catkins about including *** willow.  I live near a pub called The Red ***.  Sometimes.when doing the gardening I *** my finger on a rose thorn.

How many of t hese will be censored? And how many others are there?

  • A fell in Cumbria is called Great *** Up, while there is a cave in Castleton, Derbyshire known as the Devil's *** (Victorian sensibilities changed the name to Peak Cavern, but it is as often these days referred to by its original name).

    And there is the River Piddle in Dorset (changed to Puddle in times past) and Piddle Brook in Worcestershire, with the villagies of Lower Piddle and Middle Piddle.  And we must not forget the village of Shitterton in Dorset which the first part means exactly what it looks like it means ...the name fell foul of certain sensibilities but still survives although the roadsign has frequently been stolen.
