However, just so you know, when I hear the phrase "the f-word" I don't usually "hear" the correct word in my head. If you asked me, of course I could tell you what they mean, but, unless you force me to think about it, I don't. So, to me, it's still preferable to the actual word, though not as good as the phrase examples above.

I don't really care if my kids hear some curse words but I think the words are unnecessary, especially on the news. It seems more like there is certain language that is more appropriate for work environments or in public. Speaking of newscasters and swearing...anyone see/hear the footage of the NYC anchorwoman a couple of days ago? I thought it was kind of funny. Maybe it's just annoying to use other coy words for swearing when you know the person uses other words.
