Why are we having this discussion?  Why are we dedicating such  
_exegesis to a word that 10-year olds would openly laugh at for its  
quaintness?


This censorship is going way over its bounds, if you ask me.  I do  
not think it is doing anything to further its stated goal; and as  
evidenced by the existence of this discussion, it's an impediment to  
writing material for the game.  It's also a waste of our time.

A good rule of thumb for censorship is that if said censorship would,  
if fairly applied, flag the bible as unsuitable for children; then  
it's too strong.
