Membermaybe not the same idea (i never saw the old thread?) but there are some good file sharing options out there right now. images for example, can be hosted on Google accounts via Picasaweb, or publicly on imageshack.us .. guess it depends what you want to share!

Key MasterA profanity will have an original meaning (which may change across time and language) which in itself may give some cause for offense. Additionally, many profanities will have applied meanings of their own, usually associated to their context and which therefore may vary significantly depending upon the intended purpose of the word in the sentence. For example, "BEEP", a common (often considered strong) profanity in English, is a verb for the act of sexual intercourse and may be used literally in this sense. It is also used in the context of an exclamation for example ("Holy BEEP!") or ("BEEP BEEP!") ("I'll BEEP kill you!") often to refer to acts of violence ("He really BEEP that guy up.") or to an error ("You BEEP up again, you're fired.") ("BEEP BEEP! Look what I have done!") or ("Holy motherfucking BEEP. That's BEEP up"). It can also be used to add emphasis to a sentence. The degree to which a profanity is offensive relies upon how the use of the word affects an individual. Some will consider the original meaning of a word (for example, the sexual act) to be offensive or a subject not fit for polite conversation while others will have no objection to these subject matters. Some will feel that certain words, having an established social taboo are simply offensive, regardless of any context; others will only find profanities offensive when used in a way deliberately intended to offend.
Furthermore, some may be in the habit of using profanity in order to seem cool. Thus, insults can even be used as terms of endearment ("I love you, you dumb BEEP.") Other situations in which profanity is celebrated include poetic slanging matches, or flytings, in which skill in the employment of vituperative attack becomes a virtue and considerable linguistic license is given to the combatants.
A 2007 peer reviewed study by the University of East Anglia found that banning profanity in the workplace and reprimanding staff for using it could have a negative effect on morale and motivation. According to the study, while swearing in front of senior staff or customers should be seriously discouraged or banned, in other circumstances it helped foster solidarity among employees and relieved frustration, stress or other feelings.[2]
Finally, profanities may cause offense, regardless of context, if they have some religious meaning which may cause their use to offend those who follow a particular religion. The original meaning of the term was restricted to blasphemy, sacrilege or saying the Abrahamic BEEP's name (or an identifier such as Lord or BEEP) in vain, such as "Jesus Christ, that was close!". Such religious profanity is referred to as blasphemy.
As the concept of profanity has been extended to include expressions with scatological, derogatory, racist, sexist, or sexual interpretations, the broader concept of "politically incorrect" language has emerged, with religious meaning playing a varying role, and the more vague and inclusive interpretation blurring the distinction between categories of offensiveness. This modern concept of profanity has evolved differently in different cultures and languages. For example, many profanities in Canadian French are a corruption of religious terminology (the sacres), while many English obscenities tend to refer to sexuality or scatology. Japanese has profanities derived from sexual and scatological terms, but none from religious language. A term that functions as a profanity in one language may often lack any profane quality when translated into another language.
[edit]Western historyTerms of profanity have historically been taboo words, because of a person's reaction to hearing such an unaccepted term. Some words that were originally considered profane have become much less offensive with the increasing secularity of society. Others, primarily racial or ethnic epithets, can be considered part of hate speech and are now considered more profane than they once were.
William Shakespeare hinted at the word BEEP in Hamlet, Twelfth Night and Henry V: Hamlet makes reference to "country matters" when he tries to lay his head in Ophelia's lap; Malvolio has the salacious line (although the term BEEP was an accepted euphemism for vagina in the early sixteenth century[citation needed]) "These be her very c's, her u's, and her t's, and thus she makes her great p's"; and the French Princess Katherine is amused by the word gown for its similarity to the French con[citation needed]. Interestingly, the word BEEP, while retaining its original meaning in America, has changed in meaning somewhat in Great Britain in the past thirty years. Where American usage of the word mostly refers to either female anatomy or (in extreme cases) an ill-tempered woman, BEEP in the UK has attained the status of a gender-neutral insult.
In the U.S. today, racial slurs are uniquely profane words in that they are considered highly offensive and hurtful. This is most clearly shown in the attention given to use of the word BEEP, now effectively banned in American public discourse, and although many African-Americans use the word BEEP context is very important; thus, Americans of African descent might use 'BEEP' in informal situations among themselves, without being considered offensive. However, blacks are now becoming more sensitive to the word being used even amongst themselves and may still be offended. The word in mention, in certain social groups, as a casual reference to black people is still in frequent use. Some mistakenly associate the unrelated word niggardly (meaning "stingy") with 'BEEP." [3] As with other types of profanity,[citation needed] words such as BEEP and BEEP, though incidentally sexual in nature, are considered highly offensive and derogatory toward gay people, yet have undergone similar changes to BEEP when being used by the gay community. The most famous example of this is prominent BEEP advice columnist Dan Savage originally having his readers send letters with the salutation "Hey BEEP".[citation needed]
Many of the words now considered most 'profane' are held to be so because they were created to insult and disparage a particular group (see pejorative terms). Some of the targets of these words have however attempted to reclaim them and reduce their power as insults. Other ethnic slurs like coon, porch monkey, spear chucker, spade, spook, tar baby, darkie (African-American), paki, dottie (Indian/Pakistani), chink, gook (Asian), beaner, wetback, spic, greaser (Hispanic-American), guinea, wop, greaseball, dago (Italian), honky, gringo, cracker (Caucasian), kike, hymie, heeb (Jewish), kraut, jerry (German—used especially during World War II), sand BEEP, raghead, towelhead, rug merchant, dune coon(Sikh, or Arab in the US); and pejoratives like fattie, retard, and redneck or hillbilly aren't entirely profane at all times, but can be considered very offensive when used in the company of certain people, and not socially acceptable in polite settings or social situations.
The offensiveness or perceived intensity or vulgarity of the various profanities can change over time, with certain words becoming more or less offensive as time goes on. For example, in modern times the word piss is usually considered mildly vulgar and somewhat impolite, whereas the King James Bible unblushingly employs it where modern translators would prefer the word urine (2 Kings 18:27; Isa 36:12) or urinate (1 Sam 25:22, 25:34; 1 Kings 14:10, 16:11, 21:21; 2 Kings 9:8). The word BEEP has seen a similar evolution; its ancestor—queynte—was not considered vulgar at all, but the word is now considered among the most offensive in the English language.
