I wasn't endorsing or using the phrase "shucking and jiving" as part of my post but as an analogy to the disparaging remark Culliver made.

However you may be correct. They could very likely have automated software monitoring the posts with a list of banned phrases like that one. That type of software might not be able to discern the context as it blindly deletes posts with banned words or phrases. Now that I think about it I wonder if I threw some spaces or asterisks in there if the post would stay. I might try that.
