Not being perverse or foul-mouthed, but you can get into heaps of trouble with the mere utterance of the word.
Correct! I thought that might be a bit harder, but apparently not.
In my 1951 edition of Henry, The Green Engine, in the story Henry's Sneeze, it says:
"Smoke and steam and ashes spouted from his funnel. They went all over the bridge, and all over the boys who ran away as black as (Bleeped Out)"
20 plus years later, this was changed to:
"...who ran away as black as soot."
From which you will observe that my question wasn't constructed quite right, but never mind, HankAmericanEngine saw through it quickly enough.
