Is Hogwash a form of legalism
I attempting a dialog with a poster on another thread. His disdain for my views was so evident he used the word HOGWASH more than once. It is evident hogwash is a sanitize substitue word for the waste from male cattle. A legalist says it is okay to say hogwash, but not the other word? What happened to the principle that states every idle word would be accounted for?
Why is it okay for one word and not the other. Hogwash is hardly used in describing the sanitary condition of a future pork chop. Hogwash is almost exclucsivly used as a sanitized swear word.
Is there an unwritten rule legalism that it is okay to clean up a word or phrase and have it mean the same thing as its originial counterpart?
Any pig farmers out there want to squeal in on this one?
