I know what you mean. This is why I said I have yet to go that far. My conculture has to be really developed before I can even start considering potential vulgarities. I recall Matt once saying that the Tokanas would feel quite insulted if someone told them that no one was going to be around to position their body in a fetal position upon death. This was something I had in mind when Bryan asked about vulgarities in our conlangs. -kristian- 8)
