I just want people to stop saying they get shafted from behind Nobody says that...

Look, no matter how you look at it, "shaft" is not a substitute for the F word.

You don't see "hard as shaft", "what the shaft" or "shaft you", do you?

Seeing how a shaft is a part of a weapon or a weapon on its own, there are a hundred ways of visualising"getting the shaft" or "being shafted" without adding any sexual conotation to it.

Seriously, I'm one of the hardcore defenders of the "no swearing" rule on this wiki. However I see no problem with the shaft expression. If you want to go this way, we're gonna have to get rid of a loooot of common expressions as well seeing how they can be used in a lewd way.

How about it : every time you can add a "that's what she said" after an expression, you have to delete it since there is a way of using said expression to describe NSFW content.

Would that please you?

-> That's what she said!

Boom, we have to suppress "please" from the authorised vocabulary of the wiki.
