When it comes to minced oaths, I think the world is in agreement. For our own sanity we have sanitized swear words. It's doggone instead of god damn, bleeding heck instead of bloody hell, for crying out loud instead of for christ sake. There's cussing by alphabetizing like effin and BSin, there's semi-filtered profanity like S**T or @$$; and some choice even for the vocabulary challenged like bleep and @#$& that leave a lot of room for interpretation!!! (or not)
But this softening of profanity, leading to more people cussin almost matter-of-factly and very acceptingly and thereby acceptably, has me wondering if I must take their effort in sounding softly-profane as a mark of respect for me or as an insult because they think they've fooled me into thinking their words are a special collection of benedictions for their chosen one!

But really, if we are dirty in our head but don't say it out loud, are we less dirty?

As I think about it, I have added frak to my vocabulary... is frak ok?
