Expletive Destigmatization 

Allowing, encouraging, and not penalizing anyone for using, in a private or public meeting, words considered to be "dirty" or "bad", such "shit" and "fuck".
The posters inviting people to a conference announced that at the conference everyone would be encouraged to use expletives. At the conference, when the conference's participants began using expletives most people were shocked.

However, using them everyone was able to define and comprehend and analyze the problem better, and propose better solutions than if no one had expressed themselves without using expletives.
After the meeting, the participants laughed and began talking among themselves using expletives such as "shit," "bullshit," "fuck," and its many derivatives.

The most common way expletives are destigmatized is by allowing and encouraging people to in private or public meetings use words which are considered "dirty" or "bad", such "shit" and "fuck".

In what events would it be best to allow people to use of expletives, and to achieve what?

Expletive Destigmatization means allowing, encouraging, and not penalizing anyone for using, in a private or public meeting, words considered to be "dirty" or "bad", such "shit" and "fuck".

Expletive event horizon 

1. The point at which your frustration rises so that you lack the patience or vocabulary to express it, resulting in a deluge of random curses.

2. The point at which curse words cease being humorous and become offensive.
1. "Bas-tard motherfucking camelshit fuckjock! Bellydancing cocknobbler!" "...Dude, what's wrong with Steve?" "He passed the expletive event horizon."

2. "...And then, he called her the C-word." "Oh man, that's totally crossing the expletive event horizon."

Fleeting Expletive 

Usually a single curse word or indecency during a live TV or radio broadcast. It's the media's version of the "F-Bomb", used by the FCC in assessing fines against broadcasters.

Improvised Expletive Device 

In the Bible (apparently) it says somewhere "Thou Shalt Not Swear" Latter day Christians have discovered a small foot note to this verse that adds "... using commonly accepted swear words".

Thus the Improvised Expletive Device (IED) was born, replacing commonly accepted swear words with any other word - thus not swearing!
"Oh (can't say f$*K so insert Improvised Expletive Device) Folly - I've just hit my hand with a hammer"

"Jeepers - that was close!"

"Oh Shucks - I wanted to say that"
