I ****ing hate to follow up a non-ham-radio posting on a ****ing ham
radio newsgroup, but (groups trimmed) this really ****ing *is* about ham
radio. I use that particular word in casual conversation more often
than I did 20 years ago. I do, however, keep it G-rated on the air, by
personal ****ing preference.

I don't think I ever use that word to "describe sexual or excretory
organs and activities". There are actually much better words for that,
and in fact, many of them are patently non-offensive.

"Come" is a good example. "Blow" is another. "Dick" is a man's name.
My grandmother, for example, uses those words in a non-offensive context
all the time.

The only time she says "****" is when the woman next to her yells "BINGO".
