My wrong is obvious. The fact is that I haven't thought about the need
for a substitution until now. A beautiful word it is in instances
where Marx called money "the universal whore" after Shakespeare or
Lenin calling science a whore that serves any. (Marx also called money
the universal pimp.)
I doubt if swearing words are essentially sexist. They cut both ways,
don't they, as in the case of pimp? I could have said "pimping Kerala
through government websites".
Curse words are not necessarily sexual, I can assure you. Fucking is
not always bad. "Fucking good" is also there. As a very common
intensifier "fucking" doesn't carry much sex about it.
