FFS, can we stop being so difficult? WHICH P word? Penis? Pencil? Pogostick? What N word?

Can we just put the words there if we're talking about specific words, so that not your entire readership needs to collectively guess what you're talking about? Quote the words, if needed, but can we PLEASE stop censoring words, especially in news or educational context?

These days even "d**th" gets censored because oh boy o god, if somebody uses the D word, we will be in trouble!

Banning the g word when? It's offensive to the Romani.
