Channel 4

It's not - it's always been American slang for "annoyed."

As opposed to British slang for inebriated.

BBC America's Anglophenia has an episode on YouTube called How to Swear Like a Brit which explains the differences quite nicely. I won't link to it as it might be sailing close to the wind with the forum rules.

You learn something new every day.

More minor 'Swearing on The Simpsons' news - 'crap' was used tonight. I have no idea on the rules (if any) surrounding 'crap' so I don't know if this was an oversight on Channel 4's part or not.

I remember an episode of Treehouse of Horror where they parodied The Shining. Willie would be killed with an axe in the back, but they'd cut him falling to the ground. There was one shot where Maggie killed him, appears being him and delivers a line. But they zoom in on Maggie, cropping out Willie's hardly-graphic corpse, and leaving us with a frankly disgusting "digital zoom" quality shot. It seems they were painfully sensitive with the older episodes and now everything's slipping through their fingers with the newer ones.

Thats Treehouse of Horror V, Also IN THH IV homer said Ba***rd ( NO Swear filter its seems) and Nixon was called upon by Staten.

That's the one I mentioned above where Homer sells his soul to Flanders for a donut.

If you're shocked about "crap" popping up on The Simpsons, you've obviously never watched it before. Seeing as it pops up in the show regularly and even going back to the days it was still on BBC Two they never had any issues leaving that word in.

I am not shocked about it. I am merely commenting that the word was used, as we were on the subject of minor words being left in the programmes unedited.

Its the one that stand out the most!

Many were listed here: Sky one were alot worse. http://www.simpsoncrazy.com/ukcuts/1

Yeah, but if you've watched The Simpsons with any regularity you'd know how often that word crops up, and how the BBC, Sky and Channel 4 have never had any problems leaving it in.
