Guest guest Posted December 8, 2008 Report Share Posted December 8, 2008 Although I was not personally offended by the word BS.I wish to point out that we have an international group and in some cultures the use of such words can be very offensive. My Dad once in extreme agitation while trying to change an international flight with a phone representative from India , unfortunately used one of these strong words of exasperation, which meant little to him and was surprised to find how offended the opperator was when he used it.She let him know for several minutes how offended she was.After he had appologized profusely he did eventually get his tickets changed , but it did take longer because of the slip...Words can mean different things to different people. So If we find a word we use has caused discomfort for someone It would be polite to avoid it ( to be saved for that extreme exasperation. lol).
