The dictionary doesn't even have *ss - for this usage. The first definition is an animal. The second definition is an obstinite or perverse person
(as in smart-*ss). The second definition is referred to as usually vulgar.

But jack*ss has been ruled here to be ok.

So, how to determine the vulgarity of a word when its definition isn't in the dictionary??
