I don't consider modern slang to be "honest profanity" within the
srun game. It makes it out of context. Although, I do admit, "frag",
"drek", "hoop" and "slitch" can sound pretty stupid, all I'm
doing is
replacing the appropriote current terms.

Just 'cause FASA created/coined them, doesn't mean they're bad. I feel
they add more texture to the universe. *grin*
