Usage on television - Canada
editThe Wikipedia article mentions : "In Canada, "shit" is one of the words considered by the Canadian Broadcast Standards Council to be "coarse, offensive language intended for adults", acceptable for broadcast only after 9:00pm.[19]"
There is no actual list of what the CBSC considers "coarse, offensive language intended for adults". According to my research, I could find no CBSC decision dealing with the word "shit".
The citation [19] points to a CBSC decision that mentions specifically that the word "shit" was bleeped OUT of the television episode of the show South Park that was being reveiewed.
The statement that " "shit" is one of the words considered by the Canadian Broadcast Standards Council to be "coarse, offensive language intended for adults" " cannot be backed by citations. The text following this statement about the television show "Trailer Park Boys" mentions no citations that the use of the word "shit" is prohibited in Canadian television broadcasting, or any specific cases for that television show in particular, and therefore has no value to the article.

Literal meaning and usage of four letter word not given proper priority given to
editAlthough nowadays mostly used as an expletive or in remoter allegorical senses, the noun and verb are primarily and properly basic Anglo-Saxon. Like many basic four letter words, nowadays its use is objectionable in refined company simply because it is crudely direct. We should properly explain the basic literal English meaning, with references, before derivative usages are explained (at length). Jezza (talk) 18:35, 14 October 2024 (UTC)
