Stop swearing. Or die.

that's my argument. swears arent swears anymore, their normal words. personally, I think the german word denn, which just exclamates the sentence, was originally the same tone as fuck.

few centuries, they'll look back and see it was originally shocking and antisocial, too. ..

I don't swear a lot, but if I get pissed, a few words leak out here and there. I've recently started learning to swear in other languages.

Believe it or not, a lot of people have no idea I use swear words. In fact, I actually scold some when they let 'crap' slip out. It's great actually. Other than that, yes I swear all the fucking time when crappy threads like this rear thier shitty heads and damn all things inteligent. What a hell hole.

aerius wrote:One of the funniest incidents with swearing involved my current GF when we were doing a group work project in high school. She was the token female in our group, and us guys were cracking jokes and being total goofs when we were suppose to be working. After about 10 minutes of jokes and not getting any work done, she lost it and let loose with a string of cusswords, and then she apologized for it. I believe her exact words were "Oh my god I can't believe I just said that, I'm so sorry I didn't mean it, you guys aren't assholes but like arggh...geez, I'm sorry, nevermind". We then spent the next 10 seconds staring at each other thinking "what the hell just happened?" and then we actually started getting some work done. To this day it's the only time I've heard someone apologize for swearing.

When I was in high school, I was so pure and pristine or whatever (yes, it might be hard to imagine, but I was, trust me) that my friends used to feel absolutely horrible when they would swear around me. I never yelled at them for it or anything; they just felt immense guilt, to the point where they eventually started a fund and paid me a quarter everytime one of them swore in front of me. It worked out that they took me out to dinner about once every two months or so.

The best part was when I started swearing and they all just about fell over with shock. Ahh, their expressions were just too hilarious! *angelic smile* Anyway, Aerius, I apologized every time I swore for the first year or so. Not so much anymore, but I usually only swear when I mean to now; can't let a "Jesus fuck!" slip out when I'm teaching.

Now, I generally only swear to make a story funnier, to emphasize something, or to get my point across. Oh yeah, and when a bunch of shitty drivers are near me on the road, when I'm playing PS2, or when I'm playing cards--I swear a lot then too. I like it.

I obviously picked up on this too late to make any funny remarks. I try not to cuss around my mom, "son of a bitch" and "shit" are about as blue as my language gets in font of her. But, Jesus jumped up and shit, get me the fuck out of the house and I'll fuckin' turn your god damned hair blue. Dickheads.

What I hate is people who think words like "Frickin'" or "Friggin" or "crap" are just as bad as swear words because they mean the same things. Think about it, the only difference between me calling someone a shithead and a poophead is that one sounds juvenile and the other sounds more immoral. On the other hand though the point remains that their head is still made of excrement.

I like german cussing, "shiste" or "Shizen" (sp?) You can do that pretty much anywhere in the US and no one will care or know what you mean.

Fuck no longer has any meaning though, within 5 yearsyou'llbe watching the next to next to last season of freinds and that one fucker
from Lost in Space is gonna be like "Hey fuckface what are you fuckin doing Im a big douche bag ......"

Scheisse. Or scheiße.

A good example of that: On the episode of ATHF with the spiky colored aliens, the short fat one called the tall thin one sheisskopf. I laughed my ass off at that.

Swear words don't make me even raise my eyebrows except when they are overused, in which case it usually makes me think "What a moron!". I can do quite well without them mostly, and use them as exclamation points, and even then I tend to use milder ones like 'bloody' and 'damn' instead of the F-word. When I start using that more than occasionally, it shows I'm really pissed off. Finnish has quite a few good swear words in it, but I still use just a couple of those too, mostly because they're all you need.

Overuse just detracts from the value of swear words, and if something like every third or fourth word in a sentence is 'fuck' or 'cunt' or 'shit' etc, it just makes it difficult to pick out the message from in between the swear words and they actually dilute it.

You speak of Emily (tall green) and Oglethorpe (short and orange). Incidentally Oglethorpe is played by Andy MErril who also does the voice of Brak.

Gratuitous swearing is bad. But swearing when you have just been exposed to sharp pain or to punctuate a remark is fine, I think. There's one girl in my classes who gets really pissed off whenever someone swears around her. I asked her why.

Her: "Stop swearing!"

Me: "Why?"

Her: "Because it's offensive!"

Me: "Why?"

Her: "Because I don't want to hear it!"

Me: "Why?"

Her: "Because it's offensive!"

Me: "Why?"

Her: "Because...it just is!"

Me: "Right. Fuck that."

Almost exactly the same as Mike's, now that I think about it...
