_Someone_, somewhere, thinks that any given thing is vulgar.  Therefore,
either say nothing and be content in the knowledge that you've pleased
people by not being vulgar[1], or fuck all that and say whatever kind
of shit you want with no fucking regard to whether or not you've 
pissed off those pansy-ass mother fuckers.

Greg, goddammit.

[1] Naturally, since any given thing is vulgar, silence is of course 
a vulgarity as well.  Ever hear the expression "you can please some
of the people some of the time..."?
