Just a question, not trying to provoke anyone, I have previous, I guess the States says "Oh crap" and a lot of the rest of the world goes "something else", why is the "S" word on the naughty list please? :)
 
It's considered by the administration and largely by (at least US) culture to be considered profanity. We ask that the word not be used on R2R as it is not considered family-friendly. Thanks. :)

Not going on one as I said but serious, looks like a textbook response, how does it have a different meaning when it is virtually the same phrase?
 
Many words are considered profane within cultures not because of denotation but because of connotation. I'm bilingual, and many words that are profane/offensive in the Spanish language are not offensive to me or my culture when the meaning is translated. However, the meaning communicated in the use of the word is still considered profane within the Spanish-speaking culture (and this actually even varies within different countries). It's simply a matter ultimately of respecting each other and not using words deemed to be offensive by the culture. I hope that explanation is helpful.
