The Bogan Profanity Paradox

One of the great bogan linguistic characteristics is the Australian ability to turn profanity into social punctuation.
Words that would be shocking in other English varieties can become:
- greeting;
- adjective;
- intensifier;
- term of affection;
- insult;
- noun;
- verb;
- punctuation.
This is not exclusively bogan, of course. But the bogan stereotype takes Australian profanity to theatrical extremes.
