Oh. I thought that it was sp o on, beacuse that's the word I typed up and it came out as "sthingy."

Yeah, now that makes sense.
I looked up the word p o on. It doesn't mean anything offensive like the prefix in c o cktail sauce does. Here's the defintion from dictionary.com:
P o on
noun 1. wood of any p o on tree; used for masts and spars 2. any of several East Indian trees of the genus Calophyllum having shiny leathery leaves and lightweight hard wood

How odd...That's so weird. Why replace a word that not even offensive?

I know. That's so weird. You think if it had some type of alternative slang meaning it would be up on that site. But it doesn't seem to me that it does.

You don't have to go that far! lol. I couldn't find anything at all. My Mom told me a word that has the prefix p o on in it that's a really crude word, but somehow, I don't think that's it. I don't know if it recognize the whole word that she told me or just the prefix p o on... Hmmm... I don't think the computer is that smart, and I don't even know how old the word is. It's not contemporary, so it isn't likely... The word is p o ontaine. But I'm not sure if that's even spelled correctly. And I don't think the filter would be advanced enough to recognize a word that seems unfamiliar.

Yeah, I don't think so either. I think I am definatley going to see about taking the filter off of that word, because it's just ridiculous!

Okay...I found the words meaning in an urban Disctionary. It is a slang word, and it does have a dirty meaning. I had just never heard the term used for this object before.

Me neither. Nat, did you ever get that college Mythology book, and if so, what was the title and was it UBER neat? ??

It's called Mythology by Edith Hamilton.
It's WAY cool! There is sooo much in it, and it's all so incredibly fascinating! Iloved it. I'm gonna have to buy a copy of it myself!
