Anti 'yiff'

To:  Oxford University Press

In response to a recent petition (http://www.petitiononline.com/yiff/petition.html), stating that the word "yiff" should be added to the Oxford English Dictionary.

We, the undersigned, believe that the word "yiff" would not only be a horrible, but destructive word to add to the dictionary. Teaching children the meaning of "yiff" could lead them to pursue further knowledge of the word, and thus lead them to several horrible things on the internet and in real life, including: pictures of characters from children's media engaging in sexual acts with animals, sex toys modified to imitate animal parts (for example, fox tail vibrators), and entire communities dedicated to this horrible practice, as well as several other things contained within the communities. For these reasons, we request that the OED not add 'yiff' to their dictionary.

Sincerely,

The Undersigned
