Talk:Shit

Usage on television - Canada

The Wikipedia article mentions : "In Canada, "shit" is one of the words considered by the Canadian Broadcast Standards Council to be "coarse, offensive language intended for adults", acceptable for broadcast only after 9:00pm.[19]"

There is no actual list of what the CBSC considers "coarse, offensive language intended for adults". According to my research, I could find no CBSC decision dealing with the word "shit".

The citation [19] points to a CBSC decision that mentions specifically that the word "shit" was bleeped OUT of the television episode of the show South Park that was being reveiewed.

The statement that " "shit" is one of the words considered by the Canadian Broadcast Standards Council to be "coarse, offensive language intended for adults" " cannot be backed by citations. The text following this statement about the television show "Trailer Park Boys" mentions no citations that the use of the word "shit" is prohibited in Canadian television broadcasting, or any specific cases for that television show in particular, and therefore has no value to the article.

"Profane" refers to language that is insulting in a religious context. A better word would be "obscene." 47.27.74.39 (talk) 02:36, 28 June 2020 (UTC)

 Not done. It's not clear what changes you want to make. Moreover, it already uses "vulgar" to offer a slightly different description, and in at least one place in the article, the use of "profane" in the sense you describe is specifically addressed, so changing that would be inappropriate. –Deacon Vorbis (carbon • videos) 03:32, 28 June 2020 (UTC)

What's unclear about the changes the IP wants to make? He thinks the article should not refer to the word shit as profane (on which point I agree) and that it should use obscene instead (which I disagree with). He is technically correct that it is incorrect to classify the word shit as profane, and I do not agree that Wikipedia is obligated to, or ought to be misusing words in wikivoice just because people commonly do. However, he is wrong about 'obscene' being the proper label: it is, as you said, 'vulgar'. But not obscene. Firejuggler86 (talk) 22:54, 27 November 2020 (UTC)

Editing required - Backronyms section

I've noticed a couple of issues under the Backronyms section:

• "Ship High in Transit" appears amongst backronyms which are based on college names, and should be relocated (my suggestion: mention it before, letting college-based backronyms flow forward to the following sentences).
• There are two links to the backronym article (my suggestion: make the second one not a link).

I'd happily fix the issues myself, but I can't because the article is semi-protected. Writing here instead, in the hope that someone who can perform edits will take care of it. 95.90.235.121 (talk) 13:40, 4 January 2021 (UTC)
