    Anything censored on TV. If you spell it right, it's also censored here, so you shouldn't have to worry much. But they're basically very insulting and vauge terms used when you're talking down to someone/thing. Guess I can't really think of a good definition, sorry <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Foul Language - Anything that is offensive by virtue of the words chosen, not necessarily because of the meaning of the statement. I.E. You can horribly insult someone, but if you aren't vulgar, then it's not foul language.

    Swear Words - A specific set of words that are understood to be offensive, regardless of context. There is some variation in this set depending on who you're talking to.

    "Foul" language are words that are derrived from perfectly normal words "For example "f u see kay" is derrived from german meaning to copulate. So now for some reason its bad. I blame the religious right.
