The thing is, by changing f*** to smurf, you're not really changing anything. Right after I left my church and I was trying to figure out what I believed, I tried a Baptist church that was really against cussing. However, they said, "drat" all the time. I stood up one time and said, "You know, when you say, 'drat,' that's the same as my saying, 'damn.' You mean the same thing by it. You use it in the same context. You cannot tell me that drat is okay and damn is not. Either they're both okay or neither is. They're just words."

Same with f*** and smurf. Either they're both okay or neither is. Smurf does not have more integrity as a word than f***. It's as simple as that
