I am convinced that this is probably the most trivial blocked word we've voted on in the past year or so. I get the sense that people on both sides are getting worked up for something very minimal, but maybe that's just me? Every single blocked word vote has gone down like this - people here are generally very against change, and even moreso when they fear their 'morals' are being threatened. Look at votes in the past for words like 'buck', the word 'sex' was blocked at one point. Just look at this thread and see people trying to argue that the word 'sexist' is a bad word and you should just say 'Stop discriminating people because of their gender' instead.  Every single word has been 'JUST ONE WORD AWAY FROM THE F WORD BEING UNBLOCKED' and I honestly don't even care if it is - as if the difference between a good person and a bad person could be determined by what words they use. So much this.

Though TBH I probably wouldn't use "piss" all that much in chat and I could easily find replacements for it. :P
