And once you get into THAT can of worms....define swearing.
Had an older friend once send a schoolkid to the office for saying [not to her] that something was "a lot of bull." In her era, in her area of the country---yep, you guessed it, always understood to be the whole expression. The kid was wide-eyed and totally perplexed.
Not to mention, "bloody nuisance" was a common expression in Oklahoma. The Brits take it, I understand, rather more strongly.
