I'm just wondering because apparently there is a word I say that is considered a swear by some, and I'm trying to figure out if there's an official list to prove if it is or not.

Well actually the word was "dick". I only say Bastard when referring to the sword.Vulpes Abnocto said:I'm guessing this is related to the term "bastard".
It's mostly a matter of how it's used.

Profanisaurus sounds like a very pissy dinosaur.FAST6191 said:An item you might be looking for is called a profanisaurus. http://www.milkinfirst.com/dictionary/profanisaurus.htm . Sometimes a regular dictionary will have "INF" in there to indicate such a thing but a straight up list might be harder to find.
As others have said it varies where you go and I would not chance calling a policeman various things.
