" Peter" wrote: It is in the Collins dictionary. 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. * Collins Cobuild: Printed and PD CD-ROM package. |
