With adequate “linguistic skills”, one can frame “insult”, or “proper intellectual descriptor” in such manner as to avoid the “censor”. However, this generally means the "recipient’ also can’t figure out that “alternative to expletive”. This worked well in my law enforcement contacts, when smiling, and seemingly remaining both friendly and “professional” when suggesting the “abusive miscreant client” might spend some time researching his ancestry.
Robert: the disagreeable fact is that “extremists” on ALL sides, and that includes a lot of “independents”, deserve accurate descriptive language. In the “PC” world, even the clinical psychiatric definitions, aren’t “acceptable language” today.
It is interesting that even with “Strarsky and Hutch” promoting it, the “Grand Torino” wasn’t actually a very good car.
I’m with @ruff – “Redneck” around the South (and that includes Florida) is acceptable in the General Society; it just means that someone is not quite as intelligent as the General Society due to their upbringing, genetics, etc..In fact, I often refer to my nephew as such, because it’s part of his lifestyle. Neither he nor the rest of my Family mind the reference at all and actually laugh because it’s true. So why all the uproar over a mere word?
I love that Fox News can cry when celebrities endorse Obama, but consider it quite a coup to have Eastwood talk for 30 minutes to a chair for Romney. How quickley a few months…or which candidate a celebrity is backing…can change the cries of deluded bias.

I love Clint. He is the last of the reasonable Republicans.

When were you threatened with banishment? If you see inappropriate behavior, flag it.
