While I didn't find the nice tidy listing of all of the profanity in the
Windows source code as I remembered it, I did find this site:
http://mjt.nysv.org/w2k_greps/
that has the complete grep listings. Based on the file sizes,
"bugbug", "stole" and "sh~t" are the biggest offenders, followed by "ugly",
"sucks", "kludge" and "death".
