A word may be legitimate for some if it's generally understood, however
the use of slang & vulgarity shows a lack of intelligence.  Yes, it is all
about communication but there are varying levels of communication.  Some
levels help you look like an intelligent person, other levels do not and
only exist due to a lack of education.
