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?

Hello @mnmnddddd you're quite welcome to swear so long as it's not a personal attack. The asterisk on MN is code to make things bold like this

If you really can't bring yourself to then adding asterisk within the word will work if it's just the one word. Eg: F**k.
