When is swearing not really swearing?


The standards on TV has lessened over the years, but the "F" word is still off limits. Or is it? Several TV shows have found a loop hole by using sexual acronyms.

In an episode of 30 Rock that aired in April, the show featured segments of a mock reality show known as "MILF Island." (MILF = Mothers I'd Like to F___)

The teen drama "Gossip Girl" , in a promotion, uses the text-message phrase "OMFG" (Oh My F____ing God)

So if they use an acronym, and we say the word in our head instead of hearing it. Is that really different?

I don't know, but all I can say to this trend is WTF?
