Some of the arguments that I see involve just as much or even more colorful language from the umpires.

I would never suggest that any amateur umpire use any of the "seven words you can't say on radio" in any manner in any game or contest.
In the pro game, as certain videos have shown, it's accepted, if not expected. What matters is how that word is directed.

The seven words are taboo - now. Back in the 70s, we had no problems with telling a D1 pitcher to shut the f*ck up.
George's explanation to two-way words is the funniest part of his routine. A two-way word is one with a common meaning and a dirty meaning as well. Like prick.
As Carlin says, you can prick your finger, but you can't finger your prick.
