I wonder if you could please tell me something that is rather puzzling me at the moment. It is only a small thing and I really don't want to take up a lot of your time. I think Strictly May be on tv soon, if not now, and I expect you want to settle down in front of it. 
The thing is, norty words in thread titles are allowed on MN. But not on here. Is that because we are the big girls and, therefore, expected to behave in a well brought up, ladylike manner.
If this is the reason, I quite understand and I will in future, if I have a future on GN, try to avoid the very worst of them. Like tits, bum, and bollocks.
Thank you for your very kind attention.

Ahem! My school reports said I was easily led so it's your fault!
again
What are we in trouble for?
Can anyone remember?
I’ll come with you all too - I’m more than used to being summoned to the Headmistress’s office. Swapping my scarf tassels with the girls at the local convent school was my speciality
It's allowed!!!
Sorry, we were just struggling with a particularly crunchy Werther's. May have to go for the chewy version next time. 
So, swearing. We are all grown ups and no one is going to get sent to the naughty step for using a curse (or three). Actually, there is the odd exception to this - see our Netiquette section for details. But generally, fine. We know a lot of people don't like it, however, so it's good to keep it down a bit. But generally, not a problem.
However it's a bit more tricky when a swear word appears in a thread title, as those titles get pulled out onto our home page and elsewhere, so better to save it for the OP. Even Mumsnet, which devotees will know is a just a tad more sweary than GN , swear words are asterisked out of thread titles in the newsletter.
Oh right. Ok.
Whispers...
Got off lightly didn't I?! 
So we won't be needing our protest banners?
Been up half the night painting mine.
Yeah. Bet you 'ave. 
You argue with 'em. I'm scared.
