**Marley** , would I have gotten in trouble if the title had “fuck that” instead of “f that” ? ---

I am not a mod, (of course), but the [Pit rules](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=507985), which I assume apply to the rest of the forums, say: > [@](#): > > Don’t go nuts in thread titles > > Profanity is permitted, but don’t get carried away. We reserve the right to do something about thread titles we think are over the top. So, I assume “Fuck that” would be acceptable, but I think “F that” is funnier. Of course we all know what happens when you assume. 😉 ---

Remember that meteorite that exploded over the city of Chelyabinsk? When the footage originally aired, I wondered how many Russian-speaking people were having a good laugh because there was profanity left and right. :o And sure enough, when NOVA did a show about it a couple months later, it was bleeped. ---

When I first heard about the ban on the radio the announcer was talking to someone about it and that person said that Russians swear constantly, almost like a tic. ---
