cause i'm f@cking polite you a$$hole!
[REDACTED] yeah!
Tbh I agree, but not like that. Self-censorship is useful in the sense of a larger vocabulary or unique or silly insults, or slang/code like Jive, but to use a word and still censor that word is preposterous. Just use a differen't word you turkey! Don't just say "d!ck" for "dick," say "weiner," it's more funny anyway.
