This is how the word "wristwatch" appears in some forums.

There's a producer at Warner Records whose name is Bob ****ens (same last name as the guy who wrote "A Christmas Carole").

Here in the UK, the residents of the Lincolnshire town of S****horpe famously used to have rather a problem with the internet.

Just up the road from me there's also the famous Black **** Band which some venues objected to when they toured the USA.

A few miles away from me there are some lovely rounded hills with clefts between them named in property deeds as Deep ****, Great ****, and Little ****.

And I once visited a lovely place in the Orkney Islands called ****t.

Reminds me of a story of a cake decorator who insisted on writing "Summa **m Laude" on a graduation cake.

I'm always concerned about psycho-the-rapists, myself.

... I can see where this going...

Personally I've always taken too long over my meals... I spend too much time masticating.

... and Trog beat me to it by mentioning the lovely town of S****horpe.

I believe the father of Louisa May Allcott (writer of Little Women) changed the family name from All****
I presume Louisa May had some trouble marketing her book on facebook.

And there's now a chance that the UK will end up with Jeremy "Berkshire" Hunt as PM ("Berkshire Hunt" is Cockney Rhyming Slang for, erm... something that rhymes with "hunt". It's where the British insult "Berk" comes from.) He's even been called the, erm, other word, live on TV - the presenter said it was just a slip of the tongue, and Mr Hunt saw the funny side - but it's well known that many journalists and members of the public call him by the, erm, other word quite often.

I knew a man with the unfortunate surname of Raper, pronounced ... raper. He kept the spelling but chose to pronounce it as Rapper .... probably a good call.

Maine Coon.

Perfectly acceptable! But not on another website where they asked us a trivia question about a kind of cat, and Maine Coon was the answer. But if you spelled it as two separate words in the comments it would get censored. :roll:

There's a street in Lake Havasu City, Arizona called Broomr*pe Lane. It also has the nicest homes in that town.
