No, although there is a wine named “If you see Kay.” As to mothers, the brothers Berryman have already discussed [A Chat With Your Mother](https://mainlynorfolk.info/peter.bellamy/songs/achatwithyourmother.html). ---

Homer: If you’re happy and you know it, say a swear! Nelson: Boobs! Milhouse: Hiney! Ralph: Mitten! ---

The printed word can be more vivid than the spoken word. And I see no problem with being polite. I accuse the OP of over-sensitivity of the bizarre kind. ---

> [@Knowed\_Out](#): > > WHAAAAAAAT? I call bullshit on that. > > At least as far as the SDMB goes, posters who use “G-d” do it to reflect their agnostic nature and refusal to give the title any credence. Or they’re hipsters doing it to be ironic. Fuck G-d and all who believe an on-purpose misspell gives them righteousness. Admittedly, I type FSM because I’ve always had trouble with typing “spaghetti”. (I prefer angel hair.) And I doubt I’ve offended His holy tentacles by abbreviating. 😃 ---

Actually my friend’s mom’s cousin’s podiatrist was at the hospital when he was born, and G-d _is_ his name, and it’s pronounced G’dashed. ---

(I prefer angel hair.) And I doubt I’ve offended His holy tentacles by abbreviating. 😃 I consider it polite, not righteous. Righteous means a different thing to Jews. Oscar Schindler was a righteous Gentile. I too prefer angel hair pasta, although my Grandmother fed me vermicelli. ---

> [@Locrian](#): > > Fuck G-d and all who believe an on-purpose misspell gives them righteousness. For the record, I don’t think using a dash or hyphen makes me righteous. I don’t know that I am righteous. Such things are very difficult to self judge. All I know is, I try real hard not be a jerk or spoil Game Of Thrones. ---
