Why Do People Say Pl*co?

[Naughtygirlrlw]

It comes from "they", you know what "they" say..... but who really are "they"?
"They"are the wife's cousin's husband's sister's neighbors friend (who moved back in '86) to all old wives who like to tell tales about what they say.

Didn't you know? It's the latest swear word on the streets. What is the world coming to when hooded, uncouth yoofs can say 'Pleco!' at will to old ladies on the street...

Oh that's hilarious. I'll have to try that at work some time, I'll cuss out the boss and he'll never know it. Now, to keep one step ahead of the guys with the white coats.

Q: Why are there *'s in pl*co and c*****d?

A: Years ago on the mailing list that was first used to discuss catfish over the internet, there developed a superstition that if you typed the word pl*co without the *, your fish would die. It's carried on through today, where the forum is programmed to help you keep your pl*cos safe!

You lot killed Gordon and ChickenMuck, you evil gits

















Not laughing at the death of my plecs, just at how crap my sense of humour is. Damnit, I said it. But then I dont say pleco, just plec. Damnit, I said it again. And with no star. Twice.

At PlanetCatfish.com's forums, it's automatic. You type pleco, it comes out pl*co. It confused the crap outta me.
