"::::::I still do not believe the word is vulgar, not as a matter of ""defending"" something, but just as a matter of fact.  Nor is it a ""dirty word"", even more broadly defined, or ""swearing"", as improperly used.  For example, if a kid overheard by a prudish middle school teacher says something is a bunch of bullshit, he's liable to be harassed; but if he says it's a bunch of santorum?  I don't see them saying he ""swore"".  This made-up word from the internet should be safe to say wherever ""feces and lube"" is safe to say.
