[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Do you profanity? (Page 1 of 2)

When I was younger I went through a spell for a few years, mid teens to very early twenties, where I talked like a drunken sailer as the saying goes. I was quite bad when around my friends, never in mixed company. The only thing I would stop at was taking Gods name in Vain. That is just below low in my book.
I was watching an interview with a very popular actor one time and he said his grandmother told him that profanity was for people who couldn't intellectually articulate what they wanted to say. How about it? Are you a profane laced speaker, the occasional cusser, or can you communicate without the need of those types of words? |
| I can get my point across without profanity when it is needed, but damn it feels good to cuss every now and then. I mean I could come up with profanity without a curse word in it that would make a 17th century pirate ships mortician blush, but saying shitfuck with a side of german gizz pesto is just so much easier. |
| I do not need to swear to get my point across, but it does feel good when I'm mad. I don't swear in public/around people I don't know, though. It REALLY bugs me when I'm with fellow soldiers around civilians (especially children) and every other word some of them say is the F word. And I will not take the Lord's name in vain. Like you said, that's below low to me. |

More than I fucking should. Sometimes when I'm really pissed off, it's a finely woven tapestry of non-stop profanity. One might think I've got a touch of tourettes or some shit. I have a little girl now though, and I'm trying hard to cut the shit so she doesn't repeat every word I say.

Quoted: I save it for special occasions. Overuse dilutes the impact. Exactly the point. Dilution of shock value, they're just fucking words. Who decided that cunt is the worst word anyone ever heard? And why the fuck does that asshole's opinion hold any weight with me? I happen to like cunt. I like to fuck it, finger it, lick it, cunt cunty cunt cunt. When you want impact, be more creative with them. Cunt of a motherless whore, things like that. |

I have a little girl now though, and I'm trying hard to cut the shit so she doesn't repeat every word I say. My kids live with my ex wife during the week. She called me one day and said " your son (2 1/2yo) just said "what the fuck mom" and "when I asked where he heard that word he said daddy."  I was shocked, ashamed, and thought boy I'm in trouble now. I apologized, won't happen again, and blah blah blah. Then she says, after the initial shock she had to fight back the laughter to punish him.
Fucking kids.

Quoted: Sometimes. I do not cuss in public, in front of people I don't know well, kids, or most family. Very rarely at work and only in front of a couple people. Cussing in public is incredibly rude. Being loud enough for anyone (other than your party) to hear you in public is incredibly rude. The words you're saying don't matter nearly as much as the volume at which you're saying them. |

there are just certain times where no other word in the english language is as appropriate as the word fuck..
fuck this, fuck that, fuck off, fuck you, fuckin awesome, your a fuck... etc fuck is one of the few words that is universal. noun,verb, adjective, adverb, it does them all exceptionally well. i'd go so far as to say it's the perfect word. why do you hate perfection? |
