I think you have nailed the problem, however there is not an "our culture" on Disco. Disco is played by a wide diversity of people from different cultures so using real swear words does not have the same impact on all players. For example twat has been mentioned as ok, in Northern England it is one of the worse swearwords, but quite normal in the South.

In some respects inventing Disco specific words would be more immersive as they only apply inRP and have no wider cultural context. Of course just inventing pseudonyms for would not change the perception problem.

So marmaduke could be an inRP swearword if we wanted it to be.
