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?

hog·wash (hôg'wôsh', -wŏsh, hŏg'-)
n.
Worthless, false, or ridiculous speech or writing; nonsense.
Garbage fed to hogs; swill.
There is another definition found on the link below similar to the one you've given that I didn't want to copy. Since hogwash has multiple meanings, you may want to ask the other poster which meaning he is using.

j-harv you may want to read the last paragraph of this post and add it to your dictionary.
The way the word was used by the poster can be taken two ways.
1. As a substitue for bovine fertilizer.
2. A suggestion that what he just posted was ridiculous.
Maybe that would be a great poll question...

That is no word to use about fellow christians. We may see things different if I were refering to someone that believe different I would just say it...The only reason I can think of someone even using that word would be if they were refering to Jim Jones or someone of that order maybe????? but not the followers who were brainwashed and so many sincere...In 40 years of traveling I only know one church I would never return to...because they are a dangerous cult. I know churches I do not care to return to but if the Lord spoke to me I certainly would and smile.
Sometimes we learn our greatest lessons from those that are different and not in the same mold we can from...Be open hearted and my friend you must be debating or talking to a mean spirited person...(just my take on this)
