The swearing thread

[46and2]

What is your favorite curse word when your angry? Mine happens to be "MotherF****r!". Feel free to censor your respective curse word if you (or the moderaters for that matter)deem neccessary.
(Sorry, I felt like being immature today)

 

[TicklingDuo]

I swear entirely too much, and don't have a favorite. I really should take a cue from Bill Cosby, and start using words like "Filth" and "Foul"

[maverick83]

I've always been annoyed by the fact that the use of certain words is deemed "inappropriate". Why exactly are these words "bad"? Just because long ago, someone decided that they were? That is not a good enough reason for me. Until I am presented with what I consider to be a sensible reason to avoid using these words, they will remain a part of my regular vocabulary. Any who give me a problem for it will get a clear view of my favorite finger.

 

[Biggles of 266]

my personal favourite is a big loud Martha FOCKER! It's not code for anything, you actually yell MARTHA FOCKER when you slam your hand in a door or something. It's great, annoys the neighbours and can't be censored.

What is your favorite curse word when your angry?

Let's see: f***, s***, son of a b****, crap, damn, darn...and so on, and so forth. 😀

Shazbut!!

...and so forth.

One needn't use four-letter explitives to convey disapproval. I am rather fond of the following, which I have refrained from using on TMF until now:

You are the offspring of seven generations of syphillitic prostitutes, each of whom was too drunk to recognize her own brother.

I used to wonder the same thing, myself. Then, it was explained to me by an English teacher that most of the four-letter expletives/obscenities are derived from the primitive Germanic tribes. That's why they're all short, terse, one-syllable, and hard-sounding. I guess they're considered obscene, because they make one sound as classy as a brutish barbarian. Other than that, there's nothing else that I know of that makes them inappropriate words. If you follow Christianity, some may argue that the 2nd Commandmant prohibits these words, but the 2nd Commandmant says you cannot take the Lord's name in vain, meaning you shouldn't shout GD, or JC in anger. I haven't found anything in the Bible about four-letter, one-syllable obscenities, though. If anyone knows of a passage, please tell me, so I can research it and attempt to clean up my act.

Being a Marine, and working around other Marines, it's probably the worst habit I have. When talking about things, I tend to put the word "f*ckin'" where people would normally put the word "Umm" or "uh" as if trying to remember something. That's the type of swearing I consider unnecessary, the kind that doesn't serve a purpose in a sentence other than to fill a void where silence would be. As far as when I'm angry, I go through phases of shouting different expletives, until I get bored with them and feel that they do not appropriately convey my anger, then I have to think of a new one. Lately, when something goes wrong, I tend to shout, "F*ck a duck!"; "Son of a f*ck/sl*t!"; "F*ck me!"; or "Shiza!" (The German word for sh*t, although I don't think that's how it's spelled.) Sooner or later, I'll probably be bored with all these, and I may go into one of my phases where I try to keep my swearing to a minimum, saying instead, "Fudge!"; "Son of a biscuit!"; or just plain, "Sonnuva...."

Here's a transcript of the Imfamous "7 Words You Can't Say on Television".

I thought it would be appropriate here.


BTW: My favorite curse is "Son of a B*tch". I don't really know why I say it, and I'm not usually calling someone that either. I just blurt it out when I'm pissed.

 

[TicklingDuo]

Mine has always been sh*t. But, lately, I've been using a**hole a lot. It just seems to fit. Ya know?

Here is one reference:

But now you must rid yourselves of all such things as these: anger, rage, malice, slander, and filthy language from your lips. Col. 3:8 (NIV)

I agree that the 2nd commandment has nothing to do with what we would call curse words. It does concern the use of God's name in the way we speak as well as in the taking of oaths.

Any other words we would consider "curse" words can be determined by culture. I am reminded of talking with a Latino pastor from California who was born and raised in Honduras. He moved to California and started to do some ministry with some churches in Northern Mexico. After awhile of working with the churches in Mexico they asked him to stop using a certain word. He was amazed, he did not know that it was considered obscene. In Honduras the exact same word is used every day by everyone and nobody considers it improper at all. Out of care and respect for the people in Mexico he has stopped using that word.

My reply to maverick83: How can you be so uncaring about people that you would purposely swear around them just to make them uncomfortable?

Or: You came from seven generations of diseased **********s, each of whom was too smashed to realize they were committing incest! Good one, mila. 😀

"Dad is great, give us chocolate cake"

I don't swear unless someone sneaks up on me and scares me or pokes me 😀then I'll jump and I yell out "shit", but I love Bill Cosby too! Yes, he says "Filth and the Foul" 😀 I love his routine.....Bill Cosby Himself, if you have never seen it treat yourself to it. You want regret it! He uses comdey without profanity, and he is a funny man!

My reply to maverick83: How can you be so uncaring about people that you would purposely swear around them just to make them uncomfortable?

I don't swear for the purpose of making people uncomfortable. As I said, though, such words are a part of my regular vocabulary. If anyone is offended by my use of these words, it is their problem, not mine.

 

[Krokus]

Me...

I have been trying lately to not swear at all. Period. My favorite though? A**hole.

 

[TickledToDeath]

Sonofafu**ingbitch!
Yes, ONE word.😉 😛 😀

Sometimes it takes strong explitives to drive a point home to those who have selective problems with under-fu**ing-standing!😛 😉

Well, I try not to curse too much, but I take after my father in that I have little restraint in that particular arena. Instead of favorites here's what comes most naturally:
Surprise: Holy F*ck.
Recovery from said surprise: Sh*t.
Pain: F******ck, Crap-monkeys!

OK, but for favorites... I get a sick joy out of calling girls *sshole. And Hooker. Hehehe, but I never mean it. Its fun though. On Inside the Actor's Studio, Gwyneth Paltrow said her favorite was Balls. That's amusing to me, though it doesn't come trippingly off my tongue. This is fun. Mmmmmmwah!

[Sunriseticklee]

I try not to curse at all either. Bad habit, and it wouldn't be good to slip up in front of my students. LOL

So I say other words.... Except in the basketball game I was coaching today.

When the other team stole the ball again in yet ANOTHER fastbreak situation... I whispered under my breath...

Shit...... And shook my head. The other coach looked at me and started laughing her but off. (I don't curse very often)

But my favorite word is ass. Not the donkey... just a nice round plump ass.

LOL

Still bored out of her mind 🙁
Someone come play with me. 😀

I generally reserve curse words for when I'm REALLLLLY angry. Even then I limit myself to a couple of well placed naughties, and go on about my business.

HOWEVER, there is a reason for this. I worked my way through college working in casinos, wherein the most loved word of every employee from the shift manager on down is Fuck. Yep. Every other word. EVEN when you're happy! It's not even considered a bad word! It was all well and fine for a while for me to have the mouth of a drunken sailor.BUT.......then my kid knocked the iroing board over when he was three years old and said, much to the delight of allllll of his grand-parents and great-grandparents, "Shit, damn iron." *GAH!* That's enough REASON for me to curb the language! My daddy looked at me and said, "Well, at least he used it in the right context." Oh the shame. My dad had never even heard ME say those words! LOL Still hasn't either! 😛

My favorite phrase at the moment is "Son-of-a-pitch-me-out-the-window." Something my grandmother used to say! 😀

I love the one that your Grandmother used to say 😀 "Son-of-a-pitch-me-out-the-window! Thanks Joby! 🙂 I hope you don't mind if I use that 🙂

Thanks for the reference, Omega. I'm gonna look that up. It makes sense about the culture thing, too. It reminds me of my high school French class, where we watched Disney's Beauty and the Beast. When that movie was first shown in France, the people were shocked when Lumierre shouted out "Sacre Bleu!" which to most Americans sounds like something French people would just shout out in excitement. In actuality, it translates to Sacred Blue, or the Virgin Mary, and is an extremely offensive thing to say over there. The French people were surprised to see such a thing said in a children's cartoon. On the other hand, if you were to be in France, and you hit your head on something and shouted the French word for "Sh*t!", nobody would care, because over there, it's about as offensive as shouting "Fiddlesticks!"

Something a Sgt told me on ship about swearing in reference to what I said about the 2nd Commandment was that the words themselves are harmless, just like any weapon, but it all depends on your intention when you use them. For example, if one was just swearing in a joke where it wasn't directed at anyone, it wouldn't be considered a sin, but if you sweared in anger, or sweared directly at someone, it is a sin, because it's like wishing harm upon them. He said it had something to do with the "Power of the spoken word", which roughly states that God will make happen what you say. He said that if you maintain a positive attitude about how things turn out, your hope can hold enough power to make them turn out well, but if you tend to be pessimistic, and say you expect the worst out of any situation, that will happen, too.

Great thread, 46and2!

I'm certain this will come as a COMPLETE surprise to everyone, but my favorite is any variation of F**K!

As an adjective: Why is it so f*****g cold?
To express total disbelief: Well, f**k me! (From an Al Pacino movie 🙂 )
As an inquiry: Who the f**k are you?
To express joy: This is so f*****g great!

Etc., etc., f*****g etc. 😀
