No, I'm afraid not, to my knowledge. Acronym's are strongly linked to the desire
to succinctly and emphatically make your communication known.

Common swear words are definitely included - you'll have to take the whole thing
and edit out the phrases that displease you.

The best thing about using said acronym's is that YOU know the phrase it stands
for is cussing, the party you're communicating with knows the phrase it stands
for is cussing, but - you didn't * say * a cuss word, and they didn't * hear * a
cuss word, either! Pretty remarkable, those acronmym's!! :)
