I don't think vulgar goes along with basic, the four letter, Germanic versions of fornicate and defecate have a whole range of varied, nuanced, often contradictory meanings that capture the irreducible complexity of lived experience.

What many people consider the strongest English vulgarity is derived from the Latin cunnus.
That's a good point!

#204It’s pretty good. I tried it out with c%^*ge and that’s a proper filthy!

#205As a way to show off the capability of ligatures, more power to them. As an effort to censor, why in the ever loving fuck nuggets would you ever actually do that? I have young kids and a large family. We all curse periodically. Instead of telling the kids that these are bad words, we told them they are adult words. As in, when you are old enough you can curse all you want, but as a kid you can’t. We felt that this wa…
I think you missed the humor of the creator of this font. He clearly is doing it as a technical demo.

#206I love this. I particularly like that arsenal is censored to a___nal.
How long did you take to come up with this gem?! I must know.

Around middle school, I decided that I would stop using swear words, because it seemed like getting myself in trouble by letting one slip out at an inappropriate time was more of a bother than just avoiding them and coming up with more inventive ways to express myself. Refraining from curse words has been part of my character ever since, and just about everybody who knows me knows that I don't swear. And you know wha…
How do you express yourself when you drop something heavy on your toe?
Ouch. Or no words, long intake of breath, while hopping around on the other foot.

Bullshit is a technical term...

Jesus-shitting-Christ, calm the fuck down. Cocking hell, it's clearly just a bit of fucking about. No need to pop a bollock. /s
I realize it's /s, but there are people who talk exactly like that, most of the time. It'd be simpler if they just said "calm down, doesn't matter."

#210I'm Richard and cannot even type my own nickname
Yeah these efforts always fall flat. Buttbuttination is my favorite example.
Amusingly enough, the spelling of the original word became very easy to remember after seeing that, and the phrase that I made up to keep that was "two asses in a nation".
