so what? the poster complains about the use of lang by others
the hypocrite


According to the Collins Cobuild English dictionary*...
Codswallop: Nonsense (informal).

The Collins Cobuild dictionary* describes certain four-letter
words as either "rude" or "very rude".
Codswallop, like many other words that are in everyday
use, is described as "informal".

As you seem unable to tell the difference between informal and
rude, this is how Collins decide which label to give a word:
Rude: Considered taboo by some people, so should be avoided.
Very rude: Considered taboo by most people, should be avoided.
Informal: Used mainly in informal situations, conversations
and personal letters.

This group is an informal situation, and posts are informal, so
informal words are totally acceptable.


Regards,
Peter.
