The word 'blood' is not vulgar by any stretch of the word. Only when a 'y' is added to the end of the word, does it become remotely offensive. It's a relatively minor swear word in any case, IMHO.

Nonetheless, I don't think Saz intended for this thread to become an area for comparative cultural cussing, fascinating as it may be.

In all seriousness, I agree wholeheartedly. Strong language does not have a place in a forum such as this.
