I know it seems funny, but given the word is so offensive to so many people, could you please remove that false quote attributed to me - thanks

Fixed, I took total responsibility for my depiction, albeit vulgar, of the human anatomy.
Hope that helps.
What I find offensive is having to use code for words. F word, C word, E word, N word, etc.
If people just said what they were thinking then there would be communication between people, not some coded message.

The thing about humour is that it depends much of the time about not actually saying the punchline but allowing others to work it out - the joke then becomes the point that one never used the word however others did in their minds.
Did I really have to explain that?
However given that you have not changed the quote I am asking you again to please not use that word as a false quote - please change it.

I took full responsibility for the quote, relieving you of any attribution.

That's interesting, actually, because it brings up the point that there are big differences between British and American humour.
After extensive research by multiple teams of highly trained and experienced humorists, comedians, academics, and other experts, the main difference was found to be that British humour is funny.

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

And they found American humour to be repetitive.

I made further modifications calling the "C"unt word the vigina word. I hope that satisfies your politically correct sensibilities.

Nothing more intriguing then a lady that farts; whether South African or Aussie, doesn't matter.

Flawed logic here. If you cannot determine one or the other what makes you believe it's either. There are many other possibilities.

Should have been clearer. I think she is Aussie (granted she could be a Kiwi but's it's same difference)
The Missus thinks she is Saffer.

The word "hoover" for vacuum has never been part of the Aussie idiom except in the Pommy diaspora. This is probably larger in Oz than RSA. The Kiwis use "hoover" more frequently so don't rule out Kiwi.

Of course just like United States inhabitants and Canadians or Texans and Mexicans.

What if she said "Nielfisk"? What would that make her?

Ah, but this changes everything : She is now definitely Saffer. Even if she is Aussie.

Maybe she's a Kiwi! Or Zimbabwean. Or from Luton.
