We just noticed in the german part that the word "d_i_c_k" is censored and replaced with "[nocando]". I know that the word isn't politically correct for the english language, but the word exists in german, too, but with a completely other meaning. Could that replacement be reversed?

why don't you write Dic-k then ??
Posted By: AlrikFassbauer Re: Censored words - 21/05/03 02:38 PM
I think you don't know what it means.

In german, it simply means "thick" and that word could be used anywhere.
Posted By: Viper Re: Censored words - 21/05/03 02:59 PM
I do understand, but just avoid the [nocando]
Posted By: Setharmon Re: Censored words - 21/05/03 03:42 PM
It actually means fat. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> "thick" is (normally) used for items.
You have that in any language so you can't avoid it.
lol and btw have a meaning in Flemish too fi.
But a lot of ppl post in English. Young ones too.
So it's better to not use that kinda words to much.

Do you want to tell ME anything about my own language ? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

I was writing about the german meaning.

A fat man would be in german ein dicker Mann, but you could use this word also for describing other things.

And El Gordo is in panish - as far as I know - also a big prize. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

What does it mean in Flamish anyway?
I've met some in Flanders with the first name [nocando] - but always wrote it off to his parents poor knowledge of English...

yeah well... What kind of a name is "Attic" anyway eh <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> (or did you mean another name? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> )
Posted By: AlrikFassbauer Re: Censored words - 21/05/03 10:22 PM

That's what I said. It means fat.
I wasn't refering to what it means in German or Dutch or Flemish. I was refering to what you said that it ment in English.
In German it's used for creatures and items.
In Dutch and Flemish too. But it's written "dik".
In English you use thick for items and fat for ppl.

Maybe, yes. But that doesn't change the fact that "d-ick" can be translated with "thick" as well. And I think Alrik was talking about that meaning. And you were talking about the meaning "fat". So, you are both right and we are all happy. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

Another one... If there are [nocando] Swords in the game, shouldn't we be able to say we found a great [nocando] Sword. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />
I mean, without having to type it as bas-tard, or something silly like that.
