This isn't much stranger than US American TV replacing "bad words" with beeps.

  I would guess one outcome of that was a significant increase in bad words used on non live TV. Since they'll be beeped out it's not really big deal anymore.

    Or inventing new bad words like Farscape. Don't even need to look most of them up, you'll learn at least frell, dren, tralk, and mivonks just by context and frequency of use.

      To make it less obvious it was all about the FCC's rules, translator microbes didn't translate a lot of slang, whether it was Earth-swearing or not.
