T-Word Euphemism	comment	This trope is a common kind of euphemism, where a word that shouldn't or can't be used will be referred to as "the <letter>-word" instead. Or, alternately, the offending word will have key letters masked by dashes, asterisks, or other punctuation (such as "f-k," or "$#!+"). Usually occurs in Real Life as a specific form of Gosh Dang It to Heck! and Bowdlerise, especially in performances for all-ages audiences. Might also appear for comedic value, such as using a euphemism for an innocuous word, or leaving it completely ambiguous what the substituted word actually is. Inspiration for The L Word (in spirit, anyway). Also see Not Using the "Z" Word and N-Word Privileges, as well as the frequently related Country Matters. Sound-Effect Bleep is the audio equivalent. Sometimes characters will resort to Censorship by Spelling instead. Not to be confused with the actual T-words considered derogatory terms for Transgender people. More contemporary authors treat this as a Dead Horse Trope with all related snarkery — expect a dash of Lampshade Hanging as characters marvel that someone could pronounce all those dashes and ampersands.

It transpires that the stairs are so-called because they're made from fine wood from the Effing Forest, visited later in the book. (In the real world, there's an Epping Forest near London.)

In a story arc about Frank Sinatra's skills with profanity, the text is censored thusly: "Get me your (obscene gerund) boss, you little (anatomically explicit epithet)!"

T-Word Euphemism / int_765f9dcc	comment	Before it was a television series in which it referred to lesbianism, "the L word" was a T-word euphemism for "liberalism." In American politics from the 1980s onwards, conservatives have enthusiastically held onto the word "conservative", but left and center-left politicians have tended to avoid the word "liberal." This doesn't necessarily apply to people not running for office. For the bitterest of ironies, liberal doesn't even mean leftist to begin with. Also standing for "Love", which can be a difficult thing for some people to directly express using its proper name... and, relevant to the TV show, extremely troublesome for homosexual couples (or would-be couples) to admit to having for each other for a lot of recorded history, or even for others to suspect. Sometimes fatally so. Hence having to whisper it, in bowdlerised terms.

It's eventually explained that, rather than being censored text, Mr Tulip actually has a 'speech impediment' that prevents him from pronouncing any part of the word except 'ing'. Lampshaded when other characters speculate on what "ing" means. The best one, though, is one character's response to Tulip's comment when someone mis-identifies an antique instrument (It Makes Sense in Context). It also makes perfectly clear exactly what the word means. Terry Prachett has noted that people have complained about the use of —ing in reading the book to school children. Pratchett reportedly could not understand their ire, as, he said, "It is essentially a self-censoring swearword" and as such better than children really swearing.

But that's nothing on Lord Emsworth, who has a lengthy dashed-out complaint about a fellow guest at the party who "shows no f——n' interest" in pigs; it goes on for several sentences, with at least a third of the words dashed out, among them the F word, the C word, the S word, and four different B words.

T-Word Euphemism / int_c99dcb05	comment	In Battle for the Planet of the Apes, humans are forbidden to use the word "no" or any similar "negative imperative" if they are addressing apes, who can, in turn, freely use it on each other and on humans. The justification is because the humans used to keep the apes as slaves and conditioning them to respond to the word "no" was part of the training before they fully developed human-level intelligence.

After it was heard 162 times in the episode "It Hits the Fan", Kyle notes that we are using the s-word too much. The episode "You Got F'd in the A" has the trope right in the title. It's used in the dialogue as well. The episode "The F Word" has the definition of the word "fag" changed to: 1. An extremely annoying, inconsiderate person most commonly associated with Harley riders. 2. A person who owns or frequently rides a Harley.
