Okay, I have to chime in now... I mean, criminy! "****"?? It's just a
word. You can say it; it's okay. Hey, you can even *spell* it: F - U - C
- K. Along with all the other "four-letter" or "bad" words.

I have never understood this cultural peculiarity that certain words are
somehow bad. We can't say fuck over here, but across the pond and south
of the border it's perfectly acceptable; and across the pond they're not
allowed to say bloody, yet Americans think it's a perfect British accent
to say bloody this and bloody that...

They're just words; get over it.
