I haven't seen it, but I'll bet it's the "n" word and the part about the

I suspect you are right, although I have never seen the short version.

I use the original version even in a shorter class period. That means

that I have to be sensitive to and prepare the class for what they

will hear. However, I think the loss of the ice chest part would be

unfortunate.
