One convention that I found useful is the one Hon. Robert Bork used when coming close to writing foul language. He uses the first letter with elipses after it and then has in parenthesis, read without the elipses. It goes something like this from one of Judge Bork's books: F... the army (read without the elipses).
I personally think it's a good and relatively elegant idea for describing foul language without saying it.

My Grandma always said that profanity was the feeble minded people's way of expressing themselves with force. Wise lady, my Grandma. Miss her dearly...
