How to swear politely on MN

I tried to post something today that included something like "they would have said qwerty you".
Rather than "qwerty" I used four asterisks. I understand some people are uncomfortable with profanity but, for me, the F word was entirely apropriate.
The software seems to have removed the asterisks completely and the phrase appeared as "they would have said you" which is just confusing as a sentence.
How are we supposed to say something like this whilst not offending people and breaking the rules?

You're allowed to say fuck here.
