Straits Times says "PAP" is a vulgar word, censors it on website (satire)
Together with THAT 4-letter word...
This after they censored the “PAP” word when they published photos of graffiti that appeared outside a Toa Payoh flat that had other bad words blurred out.
This further reinforced the belief in Singaporeans from all walks of life that “PAP” is indeed a dirty word.
One local, Mah Chou Hua, said: “Just now I walking to the lift and the person saw me but still close the door. So I said, ‘PAP you!’”
Other Singaporeans claim that they have heard other younger Singaporeans use the term this afternoon shortly after ST’s censorship.
One student, Gan Nee Nah, said: “My friends and I were playing block catching and then I keep scolding them, ‘PAP you! PAP you!’”
“So fun!”
