While we're on the subject of swear words:
Back in the 90s, I ran a very silly fantasy hockey league, with silly teams doing silly things in silly locations. (I wrote the simulator myself.) We used fictitious players so we would not be tied to the NHL's schedule, and could power through a full season in a couple of months.
As commissioner, I was supposed to be neutral, but I did run a joke team of my own as a way of helping out newbies who needed to be rescued with timely trades. At one point I moved my team to Quebec City. That was right after Quebec lost the Nordiques to Colorado, and the former Nordiques traded for Patrick Roy and won the Stanley Cup.
As a tribute to the Nords' long-suffering fans, I renamed my team the Quebec Tabarnacs.
(Their farm team, of course, was the Salt Lake City Tabernacles.)
