To Annalina19:

When someone uses a word on television which is not supposed to be broadcast, the listeners don't hear the word. They only hear a *beep* to block out the word. I don't use profanity, so you are encouraged to substitute whatever word you wish to use in place of the *bleep*.

You know, like "potato" or "hamster" or "nebula" or something like that.
