Appropriate Uses of Butt and Poop
For your reading pleasure: Pet Poop Bag and Pet Poop Removal This is an effective use of the word poop in my opinion. Back in 2004 I wrote a blog posting where I used butt which was also appropriate. So, there are times where these sensitive words make sense.
However, I’ve definitely used words in articles that were not effective or not entirely appropriate. Ironically, the first was an article on language use (Crap, Sucks, Turd, Puke!). The second was the Voyeur Web, which was about watching others on the web. Unfortunately, since I used the words crap, turd, and voyeur in those articles I get a lot of useless and untargeted traffic.
Words matter.
