Talk:We're boned

Origins?
Is there any way that we could discuss the origins of the phrase, without dropping the F-bomb? I guess "we're screwed" is also equivalent. --Buddy 05:54, 25 June 2011 (CEST)
 * Why not just drop the F-bomb? Isn't that the origin? - akitalk 19:29, 25 June 2011 (CEST)
 * I don't know the "family friendliness" of the site, but I'd have no issue dropping any cursewords in the article. I tried to explain the phrase with as much sophistication as possible, although sometimes a good ol' f-bomb does the trick. -- DeepSpaceHomer 20:40, 25 June 2011 (CEST)
 * The general rule so far has been to keep the language of the Infosphere at the same level of the actual show. I.E., ass and hell and damn are okay, but not much harsher than that. Personally, I feel this is a good policy, since fans of the show might be a little jarred to come here and see language they're not used to on the show. --Buddy 00:32, 26 June 2011 (CEST)
 * Then I will gladly respect that. I think the origins are otherwise evident, but I went ahead and added the somewhat encyclopedic "we're screwed" to make it more clear where the phrase comes from. -- DeepSpaceHomer 01:00, 26 June 2011 (CEST)
 * I certainly agree with generally having that policy when writing an article, but in this case we shouldn't twist the truth after what sounds better. I think it's certainly alright to write "the term comes from we're fucked" without for that case rewriting the entire policy. - akitalk 01:05, 26 June 2011 (CEST)
 * Hmm, perhaps a vote? --Buddy 01:08, 26 June 2011 (CEST)
