Does cursing bother you?

[easjer]

There was some study done recently on the prevelance of cursing in public, and they were talking about it this morning.

So. Does cursing in public bother you? Why or why not?

Do you curse in public?

What is your favorite curse word?














(can you tell that I'm a little bored at work today? :oops )

[PM5K]

Depends on the situation, sometimes it's appropriate and sometimes it's not.

My favorite is fuck...

[SpursWoman]

I curse like a mofo. I've been trying to cut back, though. And I don't have a problem not doing it where I'm not supposed to. :fro


The only time it bothers me is if I hear one of my children do it. They know all about the 1 gallon SoftSoap refill bottle underneath the kitchen sink.


:makemyday


Fuck or motherfucker is/are definitely my favorite(s).

[PM5K]

:makemyday

You wash dishes if they curse?

LOL JK....

[pache100]

Yes, I do curse in public, but only when necessary. :angel

It doesn't bother me in the least. The "F" word doesn't even bother me. The only time it does is when I'm with my Mom, and the only reason it does then is because I know she's offended by it.

I have never really understood what the big deal is about certain words being forbidden, anyway. What difference does it make if you say shit or crap? It's the same thing. Almost every curse word is about some bodily function/body part anyway. Everybody knows we do and have those things. So, what makes it dirty to talk about it?


Depends on the situation, sometimes it's appropriate and sometimes it's not.

That's very true, too, though.

I guess my favorite (the one I always seem to say, no matter what), is "Shit!"

[SpursWoman]

All it takes is one little swipe of some across their tongue and it makes a very strong point. I've only had to actually do it one time with each of them....although they have had several reminders.

:tu

[Old School Chic]

It doesn't fucking bother me at all.

[Darrin]

Does cursing in public bother you? Why or why not?



Hell no! I say whatever the fuck I want and if that pisses people off, those little bitches can kiss my hairy ass.

Seriously, they are just words. I think that cursing is a way overrated offensive activity. I'm much more offended by PDA, people who cut me off, talk on cellphones, play music too loudly, drag race on my street, don't pay attention to their kids, talk during movies and mass, and show a general disregard for others than the "foul" words that can come out of someone's mouth. Intent is much more offensive than the word.


Do you curse in public?

This is a public forum, right? I don't watch my mouth. Context is the key. You can't be cursing someone in public, but you can use curse words, IMO. Yelling across the parking lot at someone in a heated argument is different than just normal conversation. But generally, because I don't like old ladies lecturing me, I keep my voice low when I curse in public.


What is your favorite curse word?

Definitely "fuck."

[ChumpDumper]

It was ok. I mean I'm comfortable in my sexuality, I just thought Serpico was way better.

Stranger: Do you have to use so many cuss words, Dude?

http://www.handfulofsand.com/images/blog/lebowski.jpg

Dude: What the fuck you talking about?

[easjer]

I curse in public, but I try to be respectful and keep it quiet or not do it when kids are around. I also try not to curse in front of my mother, who despises it.

I'm not bothered if people curse, but I do think there are places to avoid it (church, for instance, or at the park surrounded by kids).

I'm a 'fuck' fan, really, it's such a wonderfully all-purpose curse word.

[Darrin]

What bothers me is watching a movie that edits out "offensive" language. It totally takes me out of the movie, and I start acting like I have tourette's because I have to say the word that was edited by a V.O. or simply muted.

[cheguevara]

cursin in other languages is the shit.

I like the word "Sharmuta" or some shit like that. It means Your mom is a whore in Arabic.

what's ur favorite foreign curse?

[Spurminator]

I don't curse in public out of respect to people around me who don't want to hear it... Of course, I don't really talk loud in public for that same reason. Sometimes I'm annoyed by loud people cursing around me, but it's really the volume more than the content that annoys me.

With a group of some friends, I curse a lot... But I have other friends that I know do not curse so I try not to curse around them. It's not like it's that necessary a part of my vocabulary.

I have no respect at all for people who curse loudly with children present. I don't care if you think the parents should expose their children to the "real world," that's not your call to make.


My favorite is cocksucker.

[Ed Helicopter Jones]

I've been really trying to stop since my little 2-year old boy is like a freaking parrot these days. I still slip when I get worked up about something and then it goes something like this:

*Spurs game on TV. . .horrible call by the refs*

Daddy: "Oh FUUUUCCCCCKKKKK!!!

Chopper Jr: "Oh fewwwckkkk!

Daddy: "Damnit, why'd I say that?"

Chopper Jr: "Damnit, Y. I. A. cat."

Mrs. Chopper: "What are you teaching our child?!!!"

Daddy: "Oh, Crap."

Chopper Jr.: "Oh, cap."

[easjer]

:lol

[PM5K]

I'm a 'fuck' fan,


:lol

[SequSpur]

Cursing bothers me all the fucking time.

[ObiwanGinobili]

I'll have to agree with the curising an appropriate settings & in context.
There are some situations wher I would never consider cursing, or around certian people either.

But I do curse, prob more than I should.

I swing between "fuck" , "shit" & "fucking shit" as my fav.s

[ObiwanGinobili]

I agree.
my mom did that to me one time. thats all it took.
I'm hanging onto that gem for my kids as well. :princess

CLASSIC!

I don't give a fuck!

[PM5K]

This thread bothers me....

[ShoogarBear]

As soon as you saw the title, you could see where this was headed . . .



What is your favorite curse word?

Who are you now, James Lipton? :lol

English curse words are fun, but tame compared to other languages. I learned some Cantonese curse words in college. When they want to curse you, the Chinese do it right. They curse not just you, but your ancestors and descendants:

(approximate phonetic spellings)

Doo-lee-ah-MAH! == "Fuck you"

Doo-LEE-zah-pah-DOY-zhu-CHUNG ~ "Fuck you and the 17 generations behind you"

Kom-mo-lo-CHUT = "suck my dick"

[alltexan]

the picture above your post BOTHERS me.......in sort of a good way

My image is RUINED.

Seriuosly, cursing is almost common languge these days and it's very unfortunate in that as most posters stated, there's a place and time, this isn't so especially with the younger kids. Regular TV contains some words that normally would't have been heard even 10 yrs ago. What's this world coming to!!!!

It's coming to an end

[mavsfan1000]

Yeah it fucking bothers me. People that fucking curse are very fucking troubled. :lol

[CAGE]

Yeah it fucking bothers me. People that fucking curse are very fucking troubled. :lol

That's what I'm fucking talking about

[alltexan]

This is my first few times on this site. I would love to respond to this thread using a few choice curse words, but hesitate for fear of being banned. This site allows cursing??

[Spurminator]

Doo-LEE-zah-pah-DOY-zhu-CHUNG ~ "Fuck you and the 17 generations behind you"

Must memorize....

[midgetonadonkey]

My favorite dirty word is smegma.

"Go suck some smegma off a dirty cock you fucking filthy whore."

or

"I hope you get some smegma on your eyelids and they stick shut."

[midgetonadonkey]

haha

smegma

[easjer]

Fuck yeah, this site fucking allows cursing!

[midgetonadonkey]

There is no way I would be able to post on a forum that doesn't allow cussing. Shit I can't even go to church because I cuss way too much.

[Vashner]

I had a wierd setup that was funny.

The cube to my right was a drill sgt from Lackland. Then me and then Wiley Paige.

He was a GS 12 I think, former marine, bad ass dude, anyway. He would answer the phone like this "What the fuck" real loud. Didn't matter if it was base commander or whoever. Everyone knew him. This drill sgt however lol. He was cut and clean and would cringe everytime that phone rang.

Wiley died in the late 90's I forget what year. He died pulling a slot (stroke) on a casino at Lake Charles.. hell of a way to go.

[ShoogarBear]

:lmao

I'm not sure what I would do if I was on the other end.

:lol

[Marklar MM]

Fuck fuckity fuck fuck fuck. I don't sware around my parents, uncles, aunts or grandparents...consequences. :( But I do sware around teachers, outside of school(can't get a pink slip and detention)

You need to watch this.

[Samr]

Cursing in context.

In a formal setting, obviously, you use manners and, in general, carry yourself as if you have an etiquettely-enhanced pole residing in your rectum. Same goes for any formal writing, or anything that could, by accident, be read by children or grandparents or your boss.

That being said, in any other setting I use cursing as liberally and inappropriately as possible. It's funny, and it gets your point across in a forceful and brief manner.

For example, instead of saying "I disagree with your opinion of me, and perhaps you should check your facts before you question my sexual orientation," you could simply retort with "Fuck you very much, you barbaric cunt."

Cursing doesn't make me think less of anyone, so long as it is used in a creative manner. "Go fuck yourself," while it may be appropriate, is not nearly as original and creative as "I hope you choke on a dick, you whore-child ratbastard. I'd rather fall into a pile of steaming dog shit than hear another word come out of your fuckhole."

You don't have to curse to be funny. But then again, few things do the job like a well-placed "Fuck you, cum dumpster!"

Good thread.

[Silver21_Black20]

Cursing doesn't bother me unless every other word coming out of someone's mouth is a curse word. I curse like a sailor but not at work. And when I do curse, my co-workers look at me like, you curse...:lol

I'd have to agree with Obiwan and say that my favs are Fuck!, Shit! and Fuckin' Shit!

[samikeyp]

I think its fucking cool.

I do agree that there is a time and place though. I try not to do it around kids.

Fuck rules.

[missmyzte]

It used to really, really bother me, but I never heard cursing growing up. I've never cussed in my life.

Now, most people I hang out with don't really cuss. The guys at work do but they don't around me because "I'm a lady" but if they are really pissed off then they'll slip, I really don't care if they do.

[ObiwanGinobili]

:lol
sorry :( I didn't want to burst your bubble.
but since we're lettign the truth out there.... you should probably know I'm married , I have 2 kids, my pinky toe is so small most people think it's missing, and i have a serious dandruff problem.

:smokin

[samikeyp]

Are there any words anyone won't use?

I am not a big fan of the "C" word but that's about it.

[BurgerKing]

I curse my way.

[ObiwanGinobili]

Are there any words anyone won't use?

I am not a big fan of the "C" word but that's about it.


agreed.
I hate that word and never use it.

[midgetonadonkey]

Smegma!!!

[Samr]

I am not a big fan of the "C" word but that's about it.

Crap? No way.

I won't use "goddamn" or "fuck" infront of people I don't know, or know are sensitive. I do have some morals. But other than that, I like to say shit just to get a reaction out of people, and if I know there's a line I can cross be it with vocabulary or a joke, I cross it as soon as I find it. People are funny when you put them in an awkward situation.

I'm a big fan of "fucktacular" and "fucktard," personally.

[DieMrBond]

Heh, smegma. When i was younger, and Red Dwarf (The British Comedy) was on all the time at our place, Smeg was my word of choice.

I absolutely HATE it when people swear in front of my kids, (or smoke for that matter) as they are at the stage where they pick up words very quickly, and i'm worried they will learn them. My mother in law is especially bad at this.

I don't have a problem with swearing at all otherwise, but like people have said there is a time and a place... i definitly don't swear in front of my parents, and never have - it just isn't done. But among friends, i'm some what of a gutter mouth - or at least used to be before kids!

'Fuck', 'Shit', 'Whore', 'Slut', 'Bitch' and 'Wanker' are on my heavy rotation play list.

But a question - is 'crap' a swear word? My wife and I were having an argument over this before - i think it is, she doesnt. (In context, saying it infront of children, parents, etc).

[Guru of Nothing]

Regarding cussing, I am bipolar through and through. In certain situations, not only do I avoid cussing, I am offended by those that do; and then again, I was once a sailor.

I guess what I really don't like are individuals that lack refinement and awareness to know the situation and comport themselves with common decency.

[MannyIsGod]

I never cuss.

[AngryMan]

I've been known to let the expletives fly.

Thems some big fuckin words right there.

[T Park]

I never cuss

"Jumps out of the way of the lightning "

[1Parker1]

Yes, cursing bothers me. Case in point, See Alavarez's new thread. :lol

[Guru of Nothing]

Care to buy a fucking apostrophe?

[T Park]

Stupidest, fucking thread, I've ever fucking seen.

no. not really.
besides the "c" word we were talkling about sounds like hunt.

Samr was just being a smart ass.

[spurs=bling]

i curse sometimes at school, but never at home.

[ShoogarBear]

Care to buy a fucking apostrophe?

Savin up for a g.

[Samr]

besides the "c" word we were talkling about sounds like hunt.


Oh. I didn't really consider that a curse per se, more of an insult. I thought you were talking about 'crap,' but I really hoped you weren't. Thanks for clearing that up.

And yeah, c-hunt is a bit rude.... Not like I don't use it, but it is a bit derrogatory.

Also, I have a fun habit of calling everyone a bitch. Both as an insult, as a machoism, and out of respect. It's a generic term for me. Some people don't care, but others (namely, feminazis), have gotten really pissed. Where do y'all stand on that?

[AlamoSpursFan]

Sometimes the edit of the cuss word is funnier than the word itself. Case in point, the Adam Sandler song P.O.S. Car. The edited for radio version has car honks and highway sounds in place of the curse words. It's freaking hilarious. I went out and bought the cd because it was so funny. The cd version is completely unedited and is not funny at all.

[midgetonadonkey]

:pctoss

Why do people think that poetry must rhyme?

That bother me more than people cussing in public.

[Guru of Nothing]

Savin up for a g.

.... PM me

[Samr]

Why do people think that poetry must rhyme?

Because they are too stupid to write real poetry, and therefore rely on rhymes to give them some facade of poetic structure. Then again, real poetry is just a fancified outlet for those idiots too gramatically-challenged to write in prose.

Yes I have an opinion on everything.

[ploto]

I have learned as I have met people from all over the world that different cultures have varying levels of what is considered appropriate and inappropriate language.

I am OK personally as long as you don't take the Lord's name in vain. That does offend me.

[ShoogarBear]

Because they are too stupid to write real poetry, and therefore rely on rhymes to give them some facade of poetic structure. Then again, real poetry is just a fancified outlet for those idiots too gramatically-challenged to write in prose.

And words are just for those of you too primitive to communicate telepathically.

That is a terrible. Poetry is a wonderful outlet for many people, I just feel that too many of them feel that it must rhyme. Poetry is far more difficult to write than prose. Any dickhead can write prose, good poetry takes talent.

[Solid D]

Yes

[1Parker1]

I only curse when I'm really pissed...that's how my friends know I'm mad. Although, I don't consider "Shit" or "Damn" curse words. And instead of Fuckin, I'll say "F-ing", which technically is not cursing.

But other than that, I don't like hearing people go off on cursing tirades....:)

[T Park]

NO WONDER 1Parker1 dislikes me :lol

[atxrocker]

fuck no, cursing does not bother nor offend me. your weak, gay or fuckin 90 goddamn years old if it does!

[1Parker1]

NO WONDER 1Parker1 dislikes me :lol

:lol I don't dislike you. I don't really dislike anyone on the forum...well maybe AHF a little at times :)

[T Park]

Haha

Right on.

I knew Philly girls weren't all bad :fro

[Trainwreck2100]

[Dre_7]

Personally I dont cuss all that much. Unless I am upset (ie 0.4), or in a certain situation (ie black ice on the road and I might hit the car in front of me, etc etc). But in general I dont swear all that much. But it also doesnt bother me one bit. I know and am around alot of peole that cuss all the time. Doesnt faze(sp?) me. Oh, unless it is around children, then it kinda bugs me.

[Samr]

*edit* Nope. Nevermind. The cursing debate was more interesting. Sorry 'bout that.

[pache100]

Are there any words anyone won't use?

I am not a big fan of the "C" word but that's about it.

I generally don't use words that are derogatory to women or cast them in a bad light. I guess that's the diehard feminist in me. But, I will call someone a "bitch" when it's warranted..."son of a bitch" is even better, you get two for the price of one :lol .

[Phenomanul]

Yes

Ditto.

[1Parker1]

You know what's weird? When I hear a woman call another woman a bitch, I don't really think twice about it. But when I hear a man call a woman a bitch, that pisses me off.

Does anyone else feel that way?

[travis2]

All it takes is one little swipe of some across their tongue and it makes a very strong point. I've only had to actually do it one time with each of them....although they have had several reminders.
