It's a sad day when the phrase "*** laude" gets starred out because of the slang term. Anyone agree?

Question

I've never seen it starred-out before using this site.
Congrats to those who graduate star-laude!

Answer 1

Unbelievably ignorant

SO.... I feel obligated to relate this tale :

I was contemplating a trip with some of my friends, the Cumans, from Cumae, Italy to Cumana, Venezeula with a load of cumin. We went through Cumbria and read EE Cummings.
We crossed the Cumberland gap as the cumulus and cumulostatus clouds were threatening; unfortunately, our cummins diesel faltered and left us temporarily stranded and yearning for those laconic days in Cumbernaugh.
During the delay, we found an outcrop containing cummingtonite.
The travel and diet did not sit well with one of our party; we had to seek a doctor to tend to his secum; but it all turned out well in the end....

Answer 2

Geez, I never heard of people doing that before. My college doesn't star it out at all!! I graduated Magna *** Laude and nobody snickered or made any funny faces when they found out. That's horrible. What kind of politics are going on where that happened?

Answer 3

Never saw it starred out until now. Some people just have such a filthy mind, that one cannot say anything without someone thinking filth.

Answer 4

Yes, I wondered why that kept happening. Guess we just have to brag about our degrees with HIGHEST honors!

Answer 5

Yeah - pretty ridiculous. Kind of like laughing at guys named Dick.

Answer 6

lol I saw that too. But since it was a kid , you can hardly fault them for asking---that's how we learn.

Answer 7

to quote (ormaybe paraphrase?) hizzoner, the former mayor of nyc, "that's *********!"

Answer 8

Oh ****!!
