But Asterisk source code is very clean, doing a quick search in 
1.6.0.16-rc2 source code:

grep -c -R fuck * | grep -v :0     - No matches
grep -c -R shit * | grep -v :0     - No  matches
grep -c -R crap * | grep -v :0     - Only 1 match
grep -c -R bastard * | grep -v :0     - No matches
grep -c -R penguin * | grep -v :0     - No matches (where in the world 
the word "penguin" is offensive?)

grep -c -R silly * | grep -v :0     - 36 matches, 20 in the ChangeLog
grep -R silly * ... looks like you catched the only comment in 1000000+ 
lines of code that could be sensitive or offensive to someone.

I agree, it's time to move on!

Cheers,
