Are we asking for trouble?

I have to admit at using the word 'girl', and that comes simply from my age, when I see any woman, anywhere from the age 18 to about 25 I always refer to them as girls, and think of them as girls, weather it's in the boozer, or in the street.... I stay away from the word 'boy' when writing descriptions for gay sites, I use the word 'twink'.

If you are using tools to find out the keywords people use on search engines on a regular basis - you will no doubt be aware of the word combos to avoid. But I remember having to remove the word children from the phrase, 'This site is protected with RSACi, use it to prevent children viewing unsuitable material, and change it to minors - after I picked up a few clicks from surfers combining the word with sexual terms on the site. I kicked myself afterwards for it... we live and learn!
