Comment on How come on TV I can Oh God with no censor. I can say dammit and no censor. But if I put them both together and say GodDammit one of the words will be censored?

I’d say, they censor the smallest part you can, with the intent of leaving the meaning more or less intact while minimizing the offense that might be caused. “God ***" doesn’t really mean anything, but " damnit” does.
