See, this, THIS is why you should have kept the @#$%!. Fuck basically
workes later on, but the first half of the scene entirely looses it's

It's all out of proportion. They're twelve year old girls. Childish
curse words have been part of their conversations for years now, no

something to replace fuck that probably isn't wanted on the list and
certainly couldn't be put on FF.net.
