Well I was once told to write 25 lines "I will not use inappropriate language in public" when I said out loud as a joke that my friend was "a lazy bugger" for skipping class.

So yes it is a swear word, but in an age of gordon ramsay freely swearing at 8.30pm on tv, big brother and the "N" word not being censored in Kanye West's "Homecoming" on radio in Australia, I don't think it's a big issue.
