* One of the game quotes in Creator/WilliamsElectronics' ''Pinball/{{Earthshaker}}'' has a woman exclaim, "Ooooh, bitchin'!" This was enough for some parents to complain, and Williams provided a "family" ROM patch to operators as a result.
* The profanity [=ROMs=] for ''Pinball/Terminator2JudgmentDay'' have "Fuck You Asshole" as one of the random Database rewards. If it's chosen, The Terminator says exactly that.
* Pinball games from Creator/DataEast Pinball (and their successor, Creator/{{Sega}} Pinball) would have a solid state flipper board labeled "TY-FFASI" on it. Supposedly, it stood for "Take Your Fucking Flippers And Shove It".

%%If the let's-players consistently use profanity, it's not out of character and denoting things getting serious. How is this type of thing an example of Precision F-strike?

A Precision F-Strike is when a character suddenly swears [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness in an uncharacteristically strong manner]], or when a swear is [[ToneShift unexpectedly used in a work with mild language]]. It's usually intended to show that [[SelfDemonstratingArticle shit]] just got real serious.

General phrases include the following:
* "Fuck you!"
* "Fuck off!"
* "Fuck this!"
* "Fuck me!'
* "Go fuck yourself!"
* "Shut the fuck up!"
* "What the fuck?!"
* "Son of a bitch!"
* Adding "fucking/motherfucking/the fuck" in any sentence.
* Finishing a sentence with "motherfucker" in the same spirit as ThisIsForEmphasisBitch
* Other profane words such as "damn," "shit," hell," "goddamn," or slurs. Naturally this varies by language, dialect, time period, and country. Every culture has its words that you don't say in polite company.

** The author pushed to allow B.D. to swear ("[[http://doonesbury.washingtonpost.com/strip/archive/2004/4/23 SON OF A BITCH!]]") when he wakes up after losing a leg in Iraq. This is significant because newspaper comics have extremely strict clamps on their subject matter. A few papers dropped the strip. Most simply edited the line. A few kept it as-is, with the paper's editor stating it was {{justified|Trope}}.

* LetsPlay/{{Chuggaaconroy}} usually keeps his commentary family-friendly, which makes the few times he swears stand out.
