HAC/s

HAC/s : Humana Approved Curse/s
After successfully lobbying that old-Earth swearing was too fixated on sexually aggressive imagery and bodily functions, the Humanakirk proposed establishing a council to release new Humanakirk Approved Curse words - or HACs - for the general public to use and enjoy without offending anyone.

Every few years a carefully chosen new HAC is released into a waiting society - who within 25 hours will, in raw defiance of the spirit of the initiative - have come up with an obscene new meaning for the word that is more foul, degrading, perverse, or horrifying than any of the swear words that HACs have replaced.

Examples:

Hurk: The settled public definition for hurk is too obscene for publication.

Spreff: Anywhere you could us an F, you can use a spreff.

Brownhole: This is generally used a substitute for "bullshit."

Chiff: Used in place of shit, the mildest and most commonly used expletive that will offend few.

Pirates, being traditionalists, refuse to adopt these new phrases, and enjoy the full spectrum of Earth's finest old obscenities. That said, if a pirate feels they are close to "making their stake" they may start practicing using HACs for when they buy a new identity and re-enter society as wealthy business people with mysterious pasts.
