*sigh*

I said you could find turducken in a dictionary. Ergo I answered your question. As far as the second part, did I at any point say "the clue giver is only limited to the dictionary?"

If you are claiming you did not, we invite you to explain what you meant by this, then.

Which is what Jeremy just said.

If you, um, bothered to read his point.

Alright. I'm ending my involvement in this thread because no matter how I try to explain how you might've missed my point, I'm automatically wrong. It's not worth the aggravation.

Another possibility is that you're simply wrong, and you're the one who doesn't see it.

I would think uncopyable would be buzzed. On the flip side, would standards and practices (do they still exist?) have censored "an erect body part"?

I remember "an erection" being used uncensored for "Things That Are Stiff" in the 80s, so probably not.

Are Standards and Practices the ones who censor language? And even if a clue gets censored, it can still be valid, correct?

We were told on Password that we could use a potentially-censored clue if we had to, they would just bleep it later.
