    I thought this was gonna be the c word (no not cunnilingus) or something else profane, but "oral sex"? Seriously? What the hell. I'm so upset by this that I'm gonna go have o**l s**.

    Am I going to be banned now?
    Yes.

    When I was in elementary school I got in trouble for looking up sex similar words in the dictionary.

    I once had to write a hundred lines for saying the word "nads". From that point onwards I made sure I was explicit as possible

    Using a swear word in it's correct context is just like any other word. I want to make those people read Shakespeare and see if they try to ban that for having the word Bastard in a few of the plays

    I totally found dirty words in my dictionary too when I was that kid's age. And by dirty, I mean words that children should already be used to, like "homosexual" and "bisexual." Except for the fact that we live in a country where only a handful of states recognize gay marriage, and barely any even allow adoption by gay couples.

    Please sexual education for young kids please! ;_;

    How sad for them. I kept my big dictionary with the dirty words on purpose, so that when my students used them I could make them look up the word and copy the definition.
    That is awesome xD
    if finding love is just a dance, proximity and chance, you will excuse me if i skip the masquerade

    Reminds me of books like 1984 and Fahrenheit 451 being banned. Congratulations on a truly epic achievement of stupidity.

    My children's french dictionary has a picture of two little kids (one boy one girl) laughing naked under a shower as it labels the parts of the body. I don't think oral sex is in there, though.

    My Mom put this quite nicely.

    "People who ban books or any other piece of media are trying to deny some piece of reality."

    And of all the things to deny. The dictionary.

    The whole point of dictionaries in school is to look up naughty words anyway.

    It's a weak acid, thousands of people die from it every year and is an industrial solvent too!

    That's just ridiculous. It's a dictionary, it's not encouraging them to go out and have promiscuous sex.
