WOD inappropriate

Colleagues... I inadvertently chose a very inappropriate word for the WOD.... At the site I sometimes choose my words from, the definition was different from what other members of this site found... I am truly embarrassed and sorry that I didn �t research the word further. I �m not sure what to do at this point. This is the site I got the word from : http://users.tinyonline.co.uk/gswithenbank/unuwords.htm
As you can see the word while not exactly tame is not as awful as when you Google it. Again my sincerest apologies to all. Ed |

Oh Ed, we live and earn, right? I �m sure nobody will think badly of you - we �re all human and make mistakes. You �ve just shown you �re a great man by admitting your mistake and apologizing. Enough of my unasked-for patronising... As far as I �m concerned, go ahead, give us a new word and let �s have fun again!
(PS: my link doesn�t work, but perhaps all for the better) |

OMG I have just checked the word ....it �s really sad  well, I think Ed we should stop defining this word and pay respect to the many children who experienced such an ordeal (both who survived and who couldn �t)
and Ed please don�t feel bad, first you didn�t know (I didn�t know either) and second because you made us aware of a very serious problem and it�s a very good thing dear Ed and I personally thank you for that 
I wish you all you and your children and familes a very peaceful and happy life and may Allah/God make you meet good people who would respect you and treat you right.

Don �t worry Ed. It �s no big deal!
And I �ve learned a new word because of you.
Will there be a new one tomorrow? Bring it on! |

Stuff happens Ed, I don �t think anyone here would think you did it on purpose. Very cool of you to let us know about it and your feelings.
Start a new word and let �s move on.
(Today was one of those days where I didn �t look up the meaning--didn �t really have time.)
