What did I miss? Censored word.


Watching this on TV last night. During Mae's rant about the possibility of the league closing down, they edited out a word. This is what I always thought her line was:

And what am l supposed to do? Go back to taxi dancing? Ten cents so some slob can sweat gin all over me?


But "gin" was edited out. We backed it up and watched the scene again, and that word was definitely edited out. My wife wonders if the word that was censored was either piss or s**t. Neither makes sense though.

I don't own the DVD but I was wondering if anyone knew what that word was, and, if the word was "gin", why would it be edited out from broadcast?

You got me curious so I looked into this.

It looks like the word is in fact gin. I found a few different sources and they all say the same thing.

Here's one of them:

Out of here with your nonsense.

That’s not what you said

Yeah, I decided I probably shouldn't be so mean.

It was mean you bully and that’s actually what I thought was said

It must have just been a broadcast thing. I've seen it recently on Showtime and the word is "gin" and it wasn't censored at all.
