Just a device to keep vulgarity out of print in a place where it doesn't belong, yet persons with thirty years of reading acronyms or with their minds always slightly in the gutter have no trouble with it.

Covering vulgarity by abbreviation is just a cowards way of trash talk. You still use vulvarity you just try to disguise but the result is that you still use it.

Being a generally polite person I didn't feel obliged to point that out to anyone.
