Censorship has only negative consequences and one of them is that it makes otherwise intelligent adults look like they’re too stupid to use language effectively and correctly, particularly when euphemisms act as a forced substitute for swear words.
In 1948, the publishers of The Naked And The Dead convinced Norman Mailer to use the word “fug” as a euphemism for a more obvious expletive. Upon meeting Mailer for the first time, Dorothy Parker greeted him by saying “So, you’re the man who can’t spell ‘fuck’.”
