How Not to Maintain Dignity in the Classroom

Every UCC teacher knows that Section 2-313 of the Code deals with express warranties in a sales transaction.  As the Official Comments note, these warranties are rightly difficult to disclaim because they go to the basic ******ed terms.  Unfortunately, every time I say the word ******ed, there are ******s in the classroom, despite Karl Llewellyn’s obvious endorsement of the term.

Yesterday, I learned there is another completely innocuous and politically neutral adjective not to use in describing an argument:  **********.  With this, there were more than ************ing protoplasm.
