I still do not understand why the heck, h*** (for swear filter reasons, I won't type it) is a swear anyway. I mean, I'll let the D word go, but **** is a place (fictional or real, depending on your beliefs). What really cheese me off is you have to say "heck" as in "Darn ya ta heck, ya filthy apes" (you can't hear my Charlie Heston impersonation...). I mean, unless you want to be funny, (i.e. Earthworm Jim's villain, Evil the cat comes from Heck. Phil the prince of insufficient light on Dilbert comes from Heck) you should say it if you mean the place, not how the **** are you doin', what the **** was that?- type quotes. That's the only instance where it's a swear.... albiet a mild one...
