I gotta go with sweet tits as well.  Maybe sugar tits for female police officers in the southern states, and very specific parts of Baltimore County.  Maple syrup tits in Vermont, naturally.
 
When I worked at a large media company with a yellow border around it, they issued a memo, which was passed around to everyone on hard copy (it was 1988) reminding us that the seven words we could not use in scripts or on air were fuck shit cunt tits piss cocksucker and motherfucker.
 
I often wish I'd kept it and framed it.  It was the funniest corporate missive ever.  These are the irredeemable words.  Such words as cock, prick, snatch, trim, you cannot ban unilaterally.  It's all about context.  I do respect her but(t) I love to watch her strut.
 
I really adore strategic profanity,  but I try to limit it to 27 fuckings per paragraph.  Too much of a good thing.
