oh yeah, um, i better answer or i'll get penalized as well.. sadly, there are no answers. people need to get a life and stop bursting into tears at quasi-offensive slang for body parts.

Hey in Australia @ss is the furthest from being a swear (cuss) word as you can get. On TV here I have heard the 'F' word more times than I care to mention. Wish censorship was more strict here.

Penis is part of your body while the @ss is a cuss word for Buttocks.

Penis is the medical/correct term for a man's genitalia. @ss is slang for buttocks.

Penis is an appropriate anatomical term. You wouldn't get in trouble for saying glutteus maximus.

Because '***' is considered as offensive. Saying 'bum' would be ok, because that's the correct term for it and isnt offensive. Penis is not offensive or swearing, you get me?
Ofcourse, it depends on context because sometimes '***' can just mean donkey.

I think it's because no-one uses penis in a derogatory sense, the censorship is more to stop me calling you an asshole, than to stop you asking what to do about a pimple on your ***.
... and yet asshole isn't censored?
