Forgive my futile attempt at modern American prose. I was trying to communicate with the younger crowd in a language they might understand. Those unfamiliar with my modern take on poetry need not be concerned, the lesson was well learnt 13 years ago.
You've correctly deduced that the asterixes substitute for a swear word, but your conclusion about it being a 5 letter word is wrong. I suppose the website software developer would have more knowledge about why that is.
In any case, the word being referred to is an English noun, often used to describe feces or excrement. It may also be used as a verb. It has four letters, not five. It rhymes with chit, the first letter being S.
Should I just draw up the hands and feet, or do you want to give it another go?
