Okay, I have had enough of the excremental spelling on this board. “Yesterday I got a splinter and today it’s oozing puss.” “I’ve got a puss-filled boil on my ass.” “I never brush my teeth and now I slobber puss. Would flossing help?”
It’s PUS dammit!! D’ya hear me, peeps?? PUS! PUS! PUS! PUS! Monkey-fucking jizz-sucking zither-plucking PUS!!! PUSPUSPUSPUSPUSPUSPUSPUSPUSPUS!!!
Are we getting this yet!?!?!? HANH!?!? ARE WE?!?!?
Here, let me make it easy for you:
“PUSS” is short for “pussy”, which is either a warm, soft, cuddly creature that loves to be petted; or else it’s a cat.
“PUS” is a vile, rancid, creamy substance marketed under the brand name “Miracle Whip.”
Please don’t let this happen again. Nothing personal, you understand. Just doing my “Spelling Nazi” rotation.
Yeah, I can’t see how people can screw this one up, considering that there’s no apostrophe…
However, what gets my goat even more is when they describe their pus-filled wound as “pussy” (pus-sy"). When they do that, it makes the female genitalia seem a mite less attractive.
The word for something that’s full of pus is purulent. I want everyone reading this to go use the word purulent in a sentence today. As in, “I knew I should have stayed away from that purulent pussy!”
I’m not one to commonly go quoting from the dictionary (and am one to usually roll my eyes when someone does need to quote the dictionary) but according to the one I own, “pussy” is a perfectly proper word for describing something filled with pus.
I don’t have a problem where you using ‘pussy’ to describe female genitalia makes me think of my cat in an erotic fashion, so I don’t see why someone using the word with a different pronunciation would make you think of female genitalia
Erm… unless the word makes you think of your cat in an erotic fashion. I don’t want to know about that.
Hello Again: Suppurating! Purulent! Damn, this is embarrassing!
Jophiel: I don’t have a problem with “pussy” as pus-filled, although I’d prefer that it be reserved for the more appetizing use of the term. “Puss” for “pus”, on the other hand, really pises (HA!) me off. It seems disrespectful, somehow. I agree with SPOOFE; it’s an unpleasant juxtaposition. Apostrophe: BWAHAHAHAH!!!
