And I agree, and I *TRY* to abide by this, especially in my normal
conversation, but these words all have legitimate uses too:

shoot  as in to shoot a gun, or a picture.

darn   as in to darn a sock.

gee    as in the astronauts experienced strong gee forces.

heck   this word is not in Webster's, so it probably has no legitimate
       use.
