interesting that 3 people said it was.

I went into the club on saturday to get a shirt for a lady friend from canada, the lady doing the shirt printing refused to print xplicit (long story   :P  ) saying it was offensive, after a bit of debate she still refused and i left the shop.

now i understand if something is rude then it is (e)xplicit but the word it self to me isn't offensive, just wondered what everyone else thought

How can it be offensive?! Try again when somebody different is working and you should be fine!

I voted yes because everyone else had said no.

Obviously there is nothing wrong with it really.

So basically the club refused to sell you something on the basis that they felt it looked like a word they felt was offensive?!!!

Apart from thr word having no offensive meaning at all, if this was the standard used for the use of names on clothes, FCUK would have been banned a long time ago.

Surely they have little freedom to stop many words being printed if you ask for them?

Isn't it about time some "normal" people got employed at the club?

Perhaps they had no "X"'s and were embarresed?
