Is shart a swearword?

It's a portmanteau of shit-fart but now that it's lost its "it", is it no longer on the naughty words list? Would the FAA of Ofcom require it to be censored?

Thought this was a baldurs gate community and wondered why shadowheart would be a swear.

IMO I’ve always put it under super casual talk that your wouldn’t say to your grandma. But not a swear word or anything offensive.

Shart is when you sing with heart, no?

E.g. Yesterday at work, I was in such a good mood, I quietly shearted all day to myself. My coworkers don't take kindly to it, but they are just jealous of my talent and passion.

Maybe a naughty word, but not a swear word.

Personally, I'd think not, as long as the word is used to literally identify when someone has a brown skid mark on the rear end of their clothing and/or underwear.

Now if I used it as an insult and called you or someone else a shart, well yeah I think it would be interpreted as offensive.

To me, it's all in the intent of the word. But then again, I don't give a flying fuck. Hell, I can't even fly to save my own damn life. Shit.

Only after reality is confirmed.

Did we ever get a final ruling on reality?

Subjectively, we all get final ruling on reality. Objectively? Might be impossible to know, but we can't be sure.
