Swear - "the 3 big ones"

On "The Simpsons" Bart leaves home, and Marge urges him to stay. She says something like:
"I'll let you swear, but not the 3 big ones".
OK. I guess one of them would be F***.
Any polite hints for the 2 others?
TIA

Marge wasn't going to let him use the Big Three, not that he would chose to use them necessarily.

George Carlin put "**********" into a special class in his "seven words" routine: "the part 'sucker' is merely suggestive, and '***' is only dirty half the time depending on what you mean by it"..r
