Profanity

Last Christmas,
while my Irish rellies said “fecking”
and my Aussie rellies said “frigging”
and online they said “fncking”
I got in trouble for saying “fucking”
fuck that.

i

can't stand it when people use profanity unnecessarily. it seems to me the unmistakable sign of a frustrated, uneducated mind. f*cking disgusting. when i hear them talking like i say, "what the f*ck is wrong with you c*cksucker? huh?" disgusting!

Grand acrostic Weirdelf,Kcuf em?

What people do for pleasure,how does it become used for an Expletitive?I have no 'making love' idea why.I mean "Go cram your orifices with with your fist loser" is just as acceptable, a little more direct even.I likes me fecal matter creative. So fun, Iknow...

All Right!

When a 13-year-old girl acquaintance said the word a few times in my presence, I chastised her to "clean up your effing language." (Well, to be absolutely truthful, I said the whole word, not "effing.") She didn't. Regards, Chuck

You hit it on the nail. I have a few "very straight " nieces and nephews. They don't curse (cuss) at all. Everytime you look around they are saying, "fricking". Well, what the hell why don't you just say the fucking right word. ladywriter I really enjoyed this!!

"Substitute words"

That's what I tell my boys when they use them. I did not hear my mother utter the word "fuck" until I was an adult. I thought, "What, all of a sudden I am old enough for her to say it in my presence? I've been saying it for years!" ~ Ronda
