I wondered if they might ***** them out like people do on the internet today or politely suggest an alternative.

No, they would not, they would ask you to rewrite it again. It is an offence to send obscene words or similar through the royal Mail.

to the other girl that answered. Expletives were really bad back then when they had sensationalism. Look that word up. They usually were like cannabalism, neckrophilia and all that other gross stuff. so maybe they would accept the telegram and they won't maybe accept it it depended upon that person.

I hope not. Expletives are totally unnecessary and just plain rude!

Yes. It was not the telegraph operator's job to censor the words they sent, just to send them.
