I mean, if you pulled it out on a discussion not about swear words or something like that in civilized society, civility would go out the window (because you would've tossed it out the window), so it seems _more_ of a swear word to me in modern times than the ordinary fuck, shit, etc
If we're arguing semantics: isn't it an insult instead of a swear word? I.e., is there a common use of the word not directed at a person? Like hitting your thumb with a hammer?

But I gather Scunthorpe was the first widely reported example.

What happens if a string has two potential ligatures? For instance, if there was a ‘abc’ ligature and a ‘bcd’ ligature, how would ‘abcd’ be rendered? Is there a priority/hierarchy?
