Added DiffLines:

'''Basic Trope''': Characters are censored for in-universe reasons, such as being around children.
* '''Straight''': Alice is about to say a swear word, but her husband Bob reminds her that their young child, Charlie, is within earshot.
* '''Exaggerated''': Alice never gets to say anything inappropriate, as Bob always tells her that Charlie is still around, even when he really isn't.
* '''Downplayed''': Charlie is around preteen age. Alice sometimes uses milder words such as "dammit" when within earshot, but Bob stops her from using an outright PrecisionFStrike.
* '''Justified''': Charlie is impressionable, and swearing around him can potentially lead to him [[InnocentSwearing repeating it in inappropriate contexts]].
* '''Inverted''': Charlie invites his friends Dylan and Emily to his house for a sleepover, and tells them not to swear around his parents.
* '''Subverted''': Alice points out that Charlie isn't around, and that now [[WesternAnimation/GravityFalls she can swear for real, so she starts to yell "Son of a-"]]
* '''Double Subverted''': Charlie comes in, so she switches her statement to "Biscuit!"
* '''Parodied''': The characters already swear constantly, but attempt on censoring themselves for in-universe reasons anyway, saying things such as [[HypocriticalHumor "Holy shit, watch your damn language! There are goddamn children nearby!"]]
* '''Zig-Zagged''': Sometimes characters are censored for in-universe reasons, but sometimes they aren't.
* '''Averted''': There is no in-universe censorship.
* '''Enforced''':
** It's a show for younger audiences - the statement "not in front of the kid" [[FridgeBrilliance has a double meaning in this case.]]
** Swearing simply isn't allowed on this show for other reasons, so there has to be a good reason why they don't swear - being around children is an example.
* '''Lampshaded''': "Alice, not in front of Charlie!"
* '''Invoked''': ???
* '''Exploited''': Alice isn't around Charlie, so she realizes [[GettingCrapPastTheRadar the things she can say and get away with]].
* '''Defied''': "I don't care that Charlie is around, he needs to improve his vocabulary anyway."
* '''Discussed''': "Oh, so that's why you haven't been swearing all that often anymore."
* '''Conversed''': "People in real life aren't really that wary of swearing around kids, are they?"
* '''Implied''': It's mentioned that Alice used to [[SirSwearsALot swear constantly]]. Since she's had Charlie, she swears a lot less, if at all.
