Ok, so I wanna talk about curse words. What's so bad about them, their just words?

Do you have any favorites? (Mine is Motherfucker and shit).

They're just words, I don't see why people get that worked up over other people using them, to be completely honest.

But I think in general people get worked up over the wrong shit and judge people based on stupid things.

The whole ass?

Where I grew up the C word was very bad and disrepectful. I was raised to believe that women weren't supposed to have a potty mouth in general public. So, I tend to keep my potty mouth for the bedroom.

Now that I have a toddler, I try my hardest not to swear. For fucks sake is one I say a lot when I am pissed off. I still find myself mumbling it under my breath a lot!

That doesn't come out of my trap often. Perhaps it's just in moments of shock and horror

Pretty much.

of course they're just words...but like anything, words included, there is a time and place...we all know and recognize that certain words are "curse" words...we all know that some people are offended by them...whether we think they should be offended or not really isn't the point...I didn't make the rules as to define what words are curse words but I recognize that some words in some settings just aren't appropriate....I use all of them, FREQUENTLY...but I also can show restraint and I realize that not everyone wants to hear those things...will I judge somebody that cusses?? absolutely not....but I will judge them based on when they do it...if you're grown enough to use those words freely, then you're grown enough to know when it's appropirate...it's a matter of respect imo...respect for others as well as self respect...

Well my moms from Poland and I've been going to from time to time Poland ever since I was a baby. I speak some polish but at one point in my life (when I was around 10ish) I lost a lot of the polish I used to speak. When I was twelve while I was in Poland I said in front of my grandma "kourwa" which is kind of like "fuck" in polish. She thought it was funny! But if my mom said that in front of her she would never hear the end of it.

The thing is, I said that in a language I didn't speak fluently in but if my mom said that in polish, which is her first language, she would get in trouble .

So I think that the reason curse words are a big deal is because they are powerful words. They have a specific energy. You know how [most?] words sound like their meaning? It's because they hold that specific energy that resonates with it's meaning. But if you say a curse word in another language that you don't speak or understand then it doesn't mean anything to you because it doesn't hold that sense of power to you. That's why it was okay for me to say 'kourwa' in polish but not in english, haha. But if you say a curse word in your own language you feel that word and the meaning of that word. Since these are powerful words people tend to say them at times where they exert that specific power of that word. Like when you stub your toe, when you're having sex, when you are angry as hell, when you are extremely happy too, when you want to emphasize something. ...etc.

My new favorite, which I tossed out randomly during a recent gaming session; cunck. Its a combination of cunt and cock and it works great. Smelly cunck. Stinky cunck. Nasty cunck. Cunck fucker. Bloody cunck. Yeasty cunck licker. Stupid cunck. etc.

For me curse words are situation and location appropriate. In certain situations and/or locations their use is just not appropriate. That matters far more to me than whether or not someone may be offended by their utterance.

Lately I've been saying 'bitch hole' for some reason. It makes no fucking sense though.

I've been saying "Fucking Jesus" for a long time.

I like 'twat', 'fucknuckle', and the old classics 'fuck' and 'shit'. I go in phases though. I might not swear for a week and then for some reason I'll start swearing a lot for a while. No idea what the fuck that's about.

How about 'Jesus Christ on a Friday?'

Heard it in a movie. It's stuck.

all i say is damn, hell, and ass. sometimes i say bitch, and i say shit rarely. thats it.

i hate the c word(s), f word, n word... and d word.

Semantics, maybe, but the "n word" is not a curse, its a racial/ethnic epithet or slur. Regardless, I agree with you on that one. I don't use it and I hate hearing it.

D word? Donkey. Doorbell. Dingleberry. I'm assuming you mean dick, but I don't think I've ever known of someone who was averse to the use of that word.

I have opportunity to say For Fuck's Sake! about 30 times a day and I do, mostly under my breath

I never use the 'P' word on this site.
