If you are into pet battles today is a good day to level your low level pets!

Super Squirt Day for EU Realms on 19th October - Level Battle Pets Quickly

I’m surprised that with Blizzard’s current crusade to remove anything that could in any way be constructed as sexual that ‘Squirt’ has not been changed.

Squirt can be completed in a very short amount of time, on average 2-3 minutes.

Okay okay. Quit bragging Wowhead.

[Drae-hellscream (Drae)]

Surely “Super Fruit Day” would be less offensive.

Wowhead knows al the right spots for it

The irony of this Wowhead post is off the charts.

It’s old fashioned British slang (1930s/60s I guess) for a child, specially the youngest/smallest of a family. They were called squirt instead of their own name.

Well this is 2021. The world is progressing. Bigoted hate speech has no place anymore.

I was being facetious to be honest. If you start removing words because they have an alternative meaning or slang associated to them, then there will not be that many words left. Mages have ‘Tinder’ talent (or did) for example.

I realise that, but American English and the Queen’s English are two different things. Take a 7 letter profanity starting with B for example - it can mean a sword length in between a shortsword and a longsword or a person with questionable parentage.

Back to the pets!

[Drae-hellscream (Drae)]

Just make sure to put some old newspapers in the corner in case they need to squirt.
