I ran across a well-scored question containing a word which I would consider at least vulgar while browsing Stack Overflow.

I know that expletives are not allowed. I'm personally not offended by people using language like this, but I know some people are. Also, it just doesn't strike me as fitting the vibe of Stack Overflow.

I was about to go ahead and edit it, but I have two concerns. The first is that the consensus seems to be

"This example is awesome"

I cannot use quotation marks strongly enough around this. Is it? Is anyone other than children impressed by swearing? It's just unnecessary. What was wrong with 'drink'? Still, it's received a lot of upvotes and has been answered by several people who had the rep to edit it if they'd wanted. They presumably thought it was fine.

The second concern I have is that there are numerous answers and the majority have copy and pasted the word from the question. These would need to be edited as well.

What should I do?
