Here's a question, what if the expletive means more to the characters than the readers?
For example I wrote a fantasy where the most common blasphemy is "Hammer it!" I don't think many readers here would have an issue with it; but it's actually fairly blasphemous in the context of the culture. It's calling for the Forger (creator deity) to destroy something with the Hammer of Creation - so it's not only requesting the deity destroy something, but that the deity pervert the tool of creation to do so.
To my characters it's blasphemy, but would any reader care?
