just like "Breast" was a few decades ago. Culture can mean medium in this situation... usually the word shows up in medical journals and papers in the testing phase, etc. Just like "Breast" was a big word in the fight against "Breast Cancer" but hit the wall when it was shown that all the info on Breast cancer was being censored because of the name of a body part. Just my opinion. Censorship will always fail because our language is so screwy...
