When my mother was 87, she confessed to a cheer with words banned in the Bible Belt.
LBHH suggested explaining thusly:
From one who was living in the heart of the Bible Belt;
From a family that was not allowed to go to the movies, play cards, or use coarse language because they'd literally go to Hell -
comes a high school cheer I've never been anywhere that would be okay to use:
Rickety, Rackety, Rust,
We're not allowed to cuss,
But, dammit to Hell,
We're gonna yell
For Ocean Springs or bust!
Nowadays, those daring to mouth that cheer would probably earn the team a technical.
