TV edits ruin everything. There's a scene in Independence Day where Will Smith's character is running from an alien fighter, and he says "oh no you did not shoot that green shit at me." TV edits make it "green stuff," and it does not work.

I feel the same way about some radio/music video edits of songs. The one which really bothers me is Cee Lo green's "Fuck You". At some point Spotify randomly played the clean version of it, called "Forget You" and it just doesn't work. It turns a snappy and fun highlight into an awkward moment.
Excessive profanity generally makes things sound less eloquent, but limited use can be really good for emphasis.
