 I always thought that the word "profane" meant something like "blasphemous" - religious based swears like "God's eyes!!"  I'm finding it jarring that Trump's latest execrable outburst is being routinely described as "profanity."  Should I file this away with my objection to people using "fraught" as a standalone adjective - a distinction that nobody but me even remembers? 

I'm afraid I can't do anything about the ridiculous fact that I find this question much more compelling than whether or not it's okay for the New York Times to print the word "shithole."
