Our sensitivity about 'curse' words has changed with the times

So much so that barely anyone is even aware of what a curse is. For instance, calling Clinton an SOB is not an example of cursing; but stating "May his member shrivel and fall off" is.

Well, if I can't say it in church, I shouldn't be saying it anywhere. Suppose it'll work if I say "you know what" instead of "member"? Can't have too much euphemism in church.
