This is not true except maybe in America. Don't let narrow minded thinking ever prevent you from using words that have been aceptable for hundreds of years. Why we even have kids nursery rhymes about "Puss In Boots" . These days it is alright to say a weak man is a "Pussy" or a "Puss" or a "Wuss" . Why hell even my dear old mum uses the word.
Never say NEVER.

Well, why take the risk? It is one of those unfortunate words that has become a fallen star. Ok, maybe not in Australia or the UK, but in America it is considered very rude. It is like the word кончить in russian, a normal hard-working word that has been respectedly used for centuries, but has developed a negative connotation to it... many elderly russians still use that word with no bad thought what so ever...

Come on Americans, back me up here! Is the p word a normal happy word, or a naughty one?

Well, then tell me how should I call these:

1) Сосиски


2) Варёная колбаса


3) Сырокапчёная колбаса


I'm really interested.

Dude,

I said IN ADDITION.

A sausage is a sausage, very normal. But if you say sausage and pus*y in the same sentence, I am sorry, but you will be misunderstood!

kalinka has a point. Those two words...together...in a sentece...

That has only one meaning. Even if it is harmless, you are still gonna be misunderstood.

For example...

The pus*y eats the sausage.

Harmless enough...but whats the first thing that went through your mind?

Man, it was a plain question, not a tricky one. I just wanted to know how should I call that food. Will you care to answer it?

I did a google search on "pu**y".
I got 3,840,000 hits and they were not all about pussy-cats.

I'll bet 2 of them were about cats...
Do a google image search...i promise all the pictures you get will be of cute fluffy kittens

Oh it was a serious one? Sorry! I thought we were following a different theme here.

The translations are pretty straight forward:

1) Sausage
2) Cooked Sausage
3) Smoked Sausage (maybe even dry sausage)

Your intentions might be nicer than Mother Theresa on a warm day, but you might easily offend some light-hearted person if you just say the "p word". I don't want any of you to end up in the hospital with a fractured limb...

The p word is ALWAYS offensive alone.

American English (or it's just "American" already?) seems to be evolving in a very ugly way. What did it done with a quite innocent word "pussy"?
According to my old dictionary -- "Sovetskaya Entsiklopedia, Moscow, 1970":

- pussy ['pusi]:

1) киска;
2) мягкий пушистый предмет.

and that's all!

This word causes a some very peculiar associations for americans, probably. Why them don't try to think about sex -- for, at least, 10 minutes a day?

I did a google on "weiner" and it appears to be a pretty non-obscene word (hot-dog, sausage, etc.). I would have thought otherwise.
Anyway, I did find this funny pic

kalinka_vinnie, thanks!

kwatts59, lol

And what if one is saying "pussy" while patting a cat?

Even when talking about cats, this word is still funny sounding. No matter who you say it to, or what context you use it, it will be undertsood what you meant, but there will always a little chuckle.

There is a pretty funny case of Johnny Carson making a joke about this word.

On his show, he was interviewing an actress named Zsa Zsa Gabor, who was one of the biggest sex symbols of the time. She brought her cat with her to the show. In a completely innocent way, she asked Johnny, "Would you like to pet my pussy?" And he replied, "Sure. If you'd just move that damn cat out of the way."

Guys, easy, I am choking with my lunch here....

Do you remember: in "Shrek-1" the gingerbread Man said to Lord Farquaad: "Eat me"...

ROFL. You might get into some serious trouble saying this.

Честное слово, я не могла представить себе, что маленькое невинное стихотворение о кошечке вызовет такую бурную дискуссию.

Ну ж... стих хорош, а просто перевод как-то не был совсем так

This was always quite normal in the rest of the English speaking world. If this has changed perhaps one of our resident pommies (oops I mean English) will chime in here?

And if these were cats, the caption would be: "Look what the pussy brought in"
