I think we're seeing cultural differences here. What may not be a
swearword in one community may be in another.

It's pretty much a given that someone will always be offended by something or other. Certainly there will always be cross-cultural faux pas. But I am not really in favor of censoring speech that is in common use and considered not offensive by most everyone here either. Remember that not long ago this list set a limit on what was acceptable and what was not (and it wasn't 'kickass').
