*censored* is a "profane" word to Americans, and they write the rules. Try writing "shizzle" next time.

I think, for *censored*, you should probably substitute "dizzle".

Don't feel bad. I know American isn't your first language and it can be hard to pick up on all of the subtle nuances if you aren't a native speaker.  :P

This reminds me of my first job. The owners were two gentlemen from India. On some occasions they would speak Hindi around the employees. I'm guessing they did this so we couldn't understand what they were saying. They could feel free to talk about whatever they wanted and not have to worry about the employees eavesdropping. One day while they were doing this, I started to speak to one of my co-workers in pig latin. It quickly became apparent that they could not understand what we were saying. If they could have understood us, we would have definitely lost our jobs...
