Warning: every second word in this article might need to be censored…
The Office of Communications, or Ofcom, is the government body responsible for regulating broadcasting and telecommunications in the United Kingdom.
They recently released data relating to the complaints that they received over the last year, which involved a comprehensive compilation of pretty much every swear word known to man.
In amongst the swear words are actually racial, religious, sexist and homophobic epithets which are decidedly less funny – but we defy you not to laugh while reading through the “Body parts section” (you have to read it aloud to at least one coworker).
Remember before you read these that there’s every chance one of these words may upset or offend you (or both):
