Although I have been chastised and reprimanded for using what some have thought were obscene gifs although I posted them thinking they were quite funny on an adult forum.

I won't re-post them now though. I don't want to push my luck. But I do consider cussing a very important part of our language. What would The Catcher in The Rye be without the cussing? Certainly not great literature. Nor would Lady Chatterley's Lover. Even Shakespeare had Lady MacBeth say "Out damn spot!" in her insane vision of blood on her hands in reaction to her husband killing the king at her urging.
