Borderline Profanity or Absolute Profanity

[Kshitija Sonawane]

Is tits considered a borderline profanity or an absolute one? What about rump?

[Shirley Ann Riddern Labzentis]

I would say that "tits" is non-borderline and "rump" is borderline.

I would say that "tits" is non-borderline and "rump" is borderline.

Thank you so much. I thought the same but did not know for sure. You really helped me out here .

I still get confused between borderline and non borderline profanities. I found while reviewing words like tits, bullshit, pain in the ass, bang (implying sexual activity)

I think that the profanity list should be updated as I noticed that it doesn't include a lot of the everyday slang that writers use. Maybe I'll compile a list and send it to admin and see what they say.

Thanks for your answer ,I think you're absolutely right , and if you work on something like the list you mentioned–it would be appreciated especially by the non-native speakers who review books.
