In the Rembrance thread, Genesjs called me out for using the word 'ass' as vulgar, wich I was surpsied since I did not expect such a word to be considered in the 'offensive' category. This is due to the fact the dictionary definition of the word has more than one meaning. 'Ass' can also be used in reference to a Donkey or other hooved animals with longer ears than a Horse, or to mean a pompous fool. So it is not necessarily considered vulgar offensive.

I could use the word, bum or buttocks, which may mean the more sensitive definition, but in that case I doubt I would actually be called out for vulgar language, so we must analyze and select words which should not cross double-standards, which is how loop-holes are discovered or take place.

There are most likely similar other word examples which exists out there which will end up in conflict with the policy due to its vagueness.

In this case, other than analyzing words to choose what can and can not be used, one must also take into account under what context would a word used be considered 'proper'. Can you give us some examples on what words you think we should consider too vulgar for use on the Wiki, and give some situations you think would make usages of at least some of the words you list possibly okay to use if they are used under certain contexts?
