here's a word for you

bowdlerized

i had no idea what it was, so i looked it up.

and to keep you people from freaking out about how i'm making you click the link, here you go.

bowd·ler·ize
tr.v. bowd·ler·ized, bowd·ler·iz·ing, bowd·ler·iz·es

  1. To expurgate (a book, for example) prudishly.
  2. To modify, as by shortening or simplifying or by skewing the content in a certain manner.

it's BOWED-ler-eyes, but the funky pronounciation characters didn't want to copy, so here it is.

here's what prompted my search for the word. (look at the alternate title)
