My opinion is this: if you can't be bothered to use proper grammar and spelling and express yourself clearly, you should shut the fuck up.

Cool track, but I think you missed the prompt by a bit.

There has been prohibited language for as long as humans have talked, and the result of it is nearly always a proliferation of euphemism. People who want to talk about something on the naughty list will simply coin different phrases, and sometimes, those neologisms will actually have more nuance and variety than the old banned words. You cite one prime example of this in your post.

That's the thing about ideas: they transcend language, and thus language shifts around them. The ideas themselves are much harder to suppress than the mere words used to express them.

They wouldn't dream of wasting it on hand washing.

Spoilers for future seasons: they try pretty hard to replicate the ratings bonanza of Chancellor Hitler storyline, but it veers way off into weird nonsense, and instead of any sort of satisfying conclusion eventually everyone just gets tired of him and he spends his last years muttering to himself at increasingly sadder and sadder rallies for his remaining geriatric fans.

That statement was also true before 1990, though.

Folks can't read past the headline. Truly this site has arrived.

Lots of those. Characters just falling out of the narrative left and right.

The DM omnirule applies: If it breaks the game, then no, just no. But if it merely makes the game more ridiculous without giving the DM a splitting headache or driving players away from the table, allow it.

I suspect something like this would trigger the headache clause, and if I were DM I'd probably ask the player to pick which one he would rather it apply to, but not both.

When you want receipts to prove you did your due diligence without relying on IT to dig it out of the other party's email history should a conflict arise.

Buy some for the building super along with some rubber bumpers and bring it to him with some cookies.
