Of course a wall that holds back water in Holland is spelled dike, which isn't filtered.

In Holland, it's spelled dijk. Dike is the American spelling, just like tire for the rubber on a wheel; and like tyre, it's spelled with a Y elsewhere.

Where do you think Dick Van D#*& got his surname?

[Loztastic]

a Dike is also an intrusive ignious formation - basically when a sheet of magma gets squeezed up through existing rock, cutting through the existing geology, rather thal flowing along a natural bed of rock

if you see a geological map of scotland, you can see hundreds of them that run more or less paralell north-east to south-west

and, as to swearing, we have a swear-jar in the office, with each word valued at between 10p and £1 (there is only one £1 word) and with general non-swearing nastyness also subject to a charge

each year, on the first working day of the year, we count up the previous years takings, and donate it to a charity - last year we gave about £25 to a local animal shelter. this year we think we are going to give it to a trust that finds foster care for kids kicked out by their parents for being gay

Can we have the word that refers to a small blue humanoid (5 letters,begins with S, ends in F)..declared a swear word do you think? Along with Woot and pwn off course

just say sea wall and rooster, dog boy.

And what if your refering to a cock pheasant?

Personally, i am not sure i understand why an individual should not be allowed to use what other word they feel expresses there sentiment.

Surely if a profanity offends you, there is a pre-existing filter, which is choosing not to read the post at all.

Can you request a list of the words? How do you discuss the entries on the list if the subject comes up during a meeting?

Also, there is a tool called a "dike" it looks like a set of wire-strippers.
