I, for one, am trying to scrub it from my regular vocabulary, because I’ve come to realize how commonplace it’s become, and I’m sick and tired of hearing it every time I step outside my door. Decided I’ll do my part to be part of the solution, rather than part of the problem.
Now, more and more young americans think it's cool to use the f-bomb unaware that it is because they cannot construct a coherent sentence anymore.
i do not drink, smoke, gamble, cheat. But I do cuss. I have since i was a teen, and it’s probably gotten worse. But thats my only vice.
-——————————————
I find a cigar and Scotch so much more enjoyable than cussing
the word means nothing any more, one hears it so much I don’t even register it any more. There are places and times for it but in every day communication there are so many other words to choose to use.
Okay, candy-pants. I F'ing mock you.
last sentence should say ‘now’ instead of ‘not’
Cigars, hootch and women!
I must live a sheltered life, because I rarely hear the f-word in public where I am.
In fact, I see it in print more on FR than I hear it in public.
“If you use the F word you’re just admitting you don’t have the intellect or vocabulary to express yourself properly”
A lot of truth to that, and it applies to many other coarse words.
People are great repeaters of the words their role models use.
“””If you use the F word you’re just admitting you don’t have the intellect or vocabulary to express yourself properly.
WTF
“”
I know right, I bang my leg against my desk, F-Bomb. what should I say ouch? LOL
Back when the kids were very little we were talking about the use of swear words.
My one daughter said “But dad - you use the ‘s-word’ sometimes.”
I do - rarely. When alone. “Hmm - I don’t think so, but maybe?”
“I’ve heard you!”
“Okay....um, like when?”
“When you’re mad at the dog.”
“Huh?”
“Like when you try to get him in from the back yard and he won’t come right away. And then you’ll say “s____ dog!”
(Oh - THAT “s-word” - “stupid”! And I’m not yelling at the dog, more just a comment to nobody.)
“Oh, you’re right honey - I need to watch my mouth. I’m sorry.”
i can’t drink! I am drunk on 1/2 a beer. I’ll stick with expletives.
Great show but....Maddonn!
Nothing can top Glengarry, Glen Ross.
A vulgar nasty gutter word that discloses both the stupidity of the user as well as demeans what should (for human beings anyway) be an act of love (whether married or not)into an act of violence/assault. People who regularly use this word, as if it were a punctuation mark— are incapable of creative insults that cut to an adversary’s personage. That is a fine art— to insult and have the target have no clue that you just did insult them. This is a rare event in that it requires some cerebration by the target (limited by the target’s own intellect) to discern the insult. All around- very much more satisfying than a simpleton’s guttural grunt word.
It sure simplified the vocabulary, making English a one-word language. The Chinese win this one since now intonation is everything.
