Comment on Anon is Bri’ish
It is definitely an American who censored it.
It’s an odd one because it wasn’t even a word in common usage until about 50 years ago, so I don’t understand where the Americans got their attitude from since it appears to have been entirely self-generated.
From Wikipedia
It goes back to at least the year 1230, and was excluded from the OED from the 18th century until 1960. So it wasn’t just Americans.
