As with many things, there's no hard answer. A lot of of it depends on the audience, and reasonable people tend to tune their vocabulary accordingly (i.e. I try not to say "fuck" in front of my mother.) I would prefer to save my energy for battles with the Society of the Perpetually Offended for "more important things" (quoted to demonstrate that I understand that the value of the phrase is completely determined by personal opinion). So, to reiterate: if you're serious about packaging 'bfc', I certainly don't object. Just be prepared for the occasional whining from the SPO.
