Gosh Dang It to Heck/Playing With: Difference between revisions

** Bob is a Mafia don who's just seen his entire mob gunned down by [[Inspector Javert]] and a squad of cops. It comes to the final showdown, and he comes out, guns blazing, screaming "DIE, you... doodooheads!"

** In the entire universe where the story takes place in, they ARE considered swear words. Fuck is the more toned down version of Fudge.

* '''Justified''':

** Bob is around kids a lot, and prefers to use those variants on the words.

** Bob's religion frowns upon cussing, or even forbids it entirely. But, Bob is only human, and thus is prone to displeasure (and the need/desire to voice that displeasure) now and then, so he works around the "No cussing" rule this way.

** Bob personally finds swearing distasteful, but this is a deliberate character trait rather than a demand of the [[Moral Guardians]].

* '''Parodied''':

** Bob is a shock-jock down at the local radio station. What you'd expect to be a very profane show is instead very childish.

* '''Deconstructed''': Bob sees his refusing to swear as a mark of deep personal morality, balancing out his less salubrious qualities such as [[Kick the Dog|serial puppy murdering]]. He's contrasted with a foul-mouthed hero in a story with [[An Aesop]] about censorship being Bad, M'kay?

* '''Reconstructed''': Bob knows how to swear... he just prefers not to.

* '''Averted''':

** Bob swears at regular intervals, but nothing too insane.

* '''Enforced''':

** "This show is watched by a lot of kids, so we can't show swearing!"

* '''Lampshaded''': "Nice language. What are you, a [[Misplaced Kindergarten Teacher|kindergarten teacher]]?"

* '''Defied''': "I may be around kids who don't know any better, but still... fucking hell, man!"

* '''Conversed''': "Goddamn kids shows, what kind of [[Drill Sergeant Nasty]] says "fiddlesticks"?"

* '''Played For Laughs''':
