Just a request- many of your fellow members have asked for no profanity in thread titles. Just a request. Thanks. ---

> [@Hazle\_Weatherfield](#): > > Seriously? Even in the Pit? Have there actually been complaints/requests? I think the problem is for people who surf from work–any thread title has the potential to show up on the front page, so even avoiding the Pit they run the risk of a boss wandering by and going “Wait, Fuck _what_?” It’s been a while since I’ve seen it come up, but it’s not the first time someone’s mentioned it. ---

> [@zweisamkeit](#): > > Is that a way of saying, “I don’t like seeing profanity in thread titles”? I don’t give a fuck for me, but there was a long thread about it a year or so ago in ATMB, dudes aksing to have it banned, etc. Sounded like a reasonable request. Or on preview, what **Jayn\_Newell** said. ---

As far as I’m concerned that’s what you get for buying something called “Spanx.” It reminds me of that old SNL skit “With a name like _Painful Rectal Itch_ it has to be good!” ---

I will keep the swears out of thread titles in the future, though I think the word Spanx might attract attention too so that one might be lose-lose. And I really don’t think you want ass pictures, Chief Pedant, but I might be willing to get out the Spanx and lay them out on the bed and take a picture of the pee hole for your viewing pleasure.😃 ---

> [@DrDeth](#): > > Just a request- many of your fellow members have asked for no profanity in thread titles. Just a request. Thanks. Did I fall asleep for 6 months and woke up in April 1st? I am really surprised that there are only 3 other fucktitled threads in the pit right now, but that is still 2 more where I haven’t seen you pop in with this odd Flander’s crusade. This is really weird. ---

I’ll echo what other posters have said…buy a size up. I have the bike shorts type and I love them. ---

> [@pbbth](#): > > I will keep the swears out of thread titles in the future, though I think the word Spanx might attract attention too so that one might be lose-lose.\ As far as I know, there is no official position on swearing in thread titles. My response to people not wanting to see swears at work is don’t surf at work. I don’t think you should change your posting style because of one or two panty-twisters. ---

> [@](#): > > Originally Posted by **Shirley Ujest** > > _Alright, who let the freakin’ philosopher in here! > Punish him by making him put on Spanx!_ Yeah! And sew up the pee hole first! 😛 The reason panties are a necessity is you never know when you are going to have a gust of wind blow your skirt over your head or split the seam in the back of your pants or whatever. I just know that the one day I decide to go commando at work will be the day that I catch my pants on the door knob or catch my skirt in the elevator doors and end up exposing my bare ass to the whole office. ---

On the other hand, it’s harder to tuck your skirt into your bare ass. Possible, but harder. ---

I’m pretty sure a flowy skirt would end up tucked right in my crack. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/fuck-spanx/471395.md?page=2) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/fuck-spanx/471395.md?page=4)
