What do you call "correct usage" for {mabla}?

I assume it was used as a swear word, which I agree should
be correct usage.

But the official definition says it is used to describe a swear
word, not that it is one. ({zoi gy shit gy mabla}, but not {mabla}
for "shit!") So it would not constitute correct usage for
fundamentalists.
