I'm surprised about the **** Street Gang.

In a recent online discussion with a FG friend, he mentioned the **** Street Gang.
Discussion groups are increasingly using language editing software and I have been "deleted" many times for using words which are right and proper English words in Australia and Great Britain but which are banned on US discussion groups.
I was deleted when publishing the words to a famous Australian song called "The Pub With No Beer." One of the lines read "and the cook's acting *****." This very naughty word rhymes with beer and starts with "qu".
I was, therefore very surprised to find that the ****, that we discussed, did not result me being sent to the "sin bin"! The **** did indeed refer to a rooster.
Even in the most extreme circumstances I refrain from using naughty words. Now, post 1984, I have become a criminal, not for robbing banks, but for using good, clean and proper English words.
What a world we live in!
With respects.
