    Is vBull a bad word?

    Now some of you probably will consider this a stupid question, but for a long time I have considered "vBull" a bad word in my dictionary. That's the word people used when they bash vB on other forum systems' forums.

    I always use the term vB to refer to vBulletin and never vBull.

    Its just a short cut, nothing insulting about it imo

    Its simply easier that typing out the whole word

      I can see how it could be used as in instult to vB, but I've always thought of it as a short hand.

        No problems with words that people use. I dislike censorship.

            I don't think it's "offensive." I tend to just use "vB," though.

            EDIT: My IPB friend calls vB v****. Dunno why, though...

                When I was a little one, a cousin helped a farmer who had his bulls named with a letter of the alphabet. I do remember Tbull and Vbull. Many eons before vB (or the web) ever existed!

                        v is a letter.
                        Bull is a animal.
                        What's offense?

                        Maybe if I called you a vBull**** then yeah, but no.

                          haha... good to know most of you don't think vBull is a bad word...

                          I guess I should stop banning people on my forum for calling vBulletin "vBull". j/k
