TItle. But like, the context wasn't even bad, I just said, "Yo, nice back pedal" and it got censored and I'm genuinely curious as to why?Is it weird new slang for a %%%%%%%%%? Is it because Shakespeare refers to vaginas as the pedals of rose? Not even mad, just sitting here like http://replygif.net/1355

It's a very bad word used to describe homosexual people in some languages. It's the worst thing you can call a homosexual person.

My god, no wonder they censor it.

Even though I'm American, I'll keep this one in mind so I don't accidentally offend.

"Ped" is an uncommonly used slang for pedophile, so that might be it.

But the term Shakespeare used was "petals of a rose." Not pedals.

I think backpedal is one word.

Let me Enlighten you, my English speaking friends.

It's because in Polish (aka Kurwa-language) "pedał" is very negative form for homosexual guy and we often write without our special signs so " ł " is " l ". Thats why they censored it.
