Oh, I don't use any of these words much... Maybe sod and tosser, occasionally. I'm more likely to use their heavy-weight counterparts.

In the ‘70s, I can remember a Top 40 AM radio station censoring Paul Simon’s Kodachrome. They overlaid the word ‘Zap’ prominently over his singing the word ‘crap.’ These days, crap passes the US TV censors for Primetime along with graphic violence. But the right wing has blocked nudity on US broadcast TV as being unsuitable for impressionable children. All of their viewers are naked under their clothes, but many don’t use even mild profanity and few deal with graphic violence on a daily basis. Those who seek to protect us from ourselves have very strange priorities.  ;–)

It's interesting how these things change... Over here in Norway, swearing is rarely if ever censored on TV. Songs are never censored on the radio, no matter what time of day it is. 

Many years ago now, I played the computer game The Sims 2. There's a thing they do for the sims games, where they get real artists to record their songs in 'Simlish', the pretend language that the sims speak. Lily Allen recorded her song Smile in Simlish. Now, the original English version of this song had the line 'you were fucking the girl next door' in it. This line was censored in the radio version. But in a forum I encountered a person who was asking how she could remove this song from her game. Even though the song was in Simlish, which is literally gibberish, the fact that the original had the word fuck in it was too much for this poor soul to handle. To this day, I am flabbergasted by this...
