I'm Australian, actually, so I tend to call a spade a fucking shovel
;-) But jeez. I can euphemise "this is jawdroppingly, mindbogglingly
stupid" and the people who will be offended by their stupid actions
being called "stupid" will only not be offended if it's so euphemised
they don't understand their action is being called "stupid." (And they
seem to have difficulty IME distinguishing between themselves and
someone noting evidence of grossly defective judgement on their part.)

However, I take your point.
