The word that came from the phrase 'Storing High in Transport' is pretty mild now and is contantly used in programs, whether on television or radio, in time frames that 'kiddies' hear. The main ones that should be banned are obvious, although there is a brand name that swaps the c and u as the middle letters of a strong swear word.
I suspect it is how these words are used in context. I would like to see people banned when they purposely 'got off their dial' at someone for having a different perception or opinion. Anyway, that's my two bobs worth.

That's exactly what I was talking about - thanks banned!
EDIT: Also, re 'store high in transport' - I had no idea that was the origin! Learn something new every day!
