Talking Be Careful What Words You Use

We have a boxer, and had one for 11 years before. I was looking for a pattern for boxers to quilt or appliqué and typed in "boxer patterns." My results were for men/boys boxer shorts!! lol I refined my search and found some cute patterns to download!

I once searched for something with the word "blue" in it and got all kinds of vivid obscene results. I guess I am not very educated in the lingo because this happens quite frequently when requesting something that is seemingly innocent in nature.
If I am aware before I request I can rephrase. Kind of like looking in the Yellow Pages. I once needed to call the local "Dump" but looked and looked and couldn't find a number. Finally got a cross reference and found it under "Sanitary Landfill". I guess you need to have a college education to use the Yellow Pages.

Is this one of those "be careful what you ask for" moments?

I also have Boxers-don't know if you saw the thread here, but Cuppi Duke has just made my Boxer pattern for me (Photo was posted last week) and had made several other dogs/cats-she sells her patterns-if you are still looking for a great Boxer, check hers out. I just bought 3 patterns from her!! I don't know how to post a link here, but look under the photos category in the main menu and find her posting of "Jill's Boxer". The photo I sent her and the pattern she made up is there too. She does commissioned work-just PM her. I can't wait to get my patterns and start!!
