This would seem to be a no-brainer to me.  It would seem to me that if
language is too colorful for network television there's no real need to use
it here. After all, where is the upside?  How would the list possibly
benefit from language that may offend certain members, even if only the
minority? I'm no prude, and will swear like a sailor if I drop a starter on
my foot.  But among mixed company, I see absolutely no harm in being
considerate enough to avoid potentially offending people whose standards
differ from mine.
