Expletive attributives are apparently evil
Or at least immoral, unethical, shameful, perhaps despicable.
So, in case you feel tempted, here are some alternatives:
Coitus, copulation, vulva, divine retribution, Jesus of Nazareth, feces.
But I think that people who act as though expletive attributives are evil,
Are a great big load of bull.
And only unconsciously desire to maintain the appearance of ethicality,
By whatever means seems easiest.
And taking affront at the usage of a particular word is very easy,
But discerning the hearts of others is not.
