You know, words that you might say in the middle of a heated football game with your buds, but might refrain from using in front of women, your mom, your grandma, your kids, your pastor/priest/rabbi/significant spiritual leader?

I agree that there are certian vulgarities that nearly everyone would agree are vulgarities. The word I used certianly could be a vulgarity but also has other connotations. I thought it was pretty clear from the context of my post what connotation I had in mind. How do you regulate what one subculture thinks is a vulgarity against another subculture? Words must be understood through their context.
