Difference (from prior major revision) (no other diffs)

Changed: 1c1

The term profanity refers to word choices or usages? which many consider to be offensive. The original meaning of the term was restricted to blasphemy, sacrilege or taking God's name in vain, especially expressions such as "God damn it". However, the meaning has been extended to include scatalogical or sexual terms (in English, primarily "fuck", "shit", "piss", "cunt" and "faggot" or "gay").
