Origin of smurf

I'll be brief here. How come people replace swear words with the word smurf? Not that I don't like it, in fact, I love it! But I'd like to know how it came about. I mean, why not replace with some other old school characters? Like, why not "fraggle". Any ideas?

Fraggle is lame and sounds old manish.

Smurf rocks and makes no sense therefore it pwns.

I don't like it, in fact I hate it, but I suppose it's better than all those skulls. [img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img]

Smurf is what the swear word filters to because swearing is not permitted on this site. It's not like the people have a choice in the matter. :)

Leeza, I think he means "why is it Smurf?"

Because that is what Shlup suggested and most of the Staff preferred it to skulls. :cat:

When will you people learn that the s in smurf when it is censored isn't capitalised? Sometimes I think I should start a smurf education campaign.

It should be stick in the butt.

It's nothing original. I've seen it at other forums too.

what the smurf :)

I preferred *arf*

I preferred whoever's idea it was to change the f-bomb to "Jeff"
