We all know our forum forbids excessive and unnecessary swearing, AND will be edit/remove some posted swear word. - I found the latter part out today.


Any who, question here is why do you swear? Is there such thing as tasteful swearing? Of course this is not about work place protocol!

[7:50:30 PM] Cassanova: pfft.
[7:50:35 PM] Cassanova: Swearing is fun.
[7:50:41 PM] Padmé: no!
[7:50:45 PM] Cassanova: My favorite quote from a film is from the Boondock Saints.
[7:50:54 PM] Cassanova: Allow me to get the exact working.
[7:50:58 PM] Cassanova: *wording
[7:51:02 PM] Padmé: orly?
[7:53:45 PM] Cassanova: A character called "Rocco the Funny Man" (a failed Italian mobster) is talking to two irish 'hitmen on a mission from god' (its not as bad as it sounds, i swear). After the Irish guys (Connor & Murphy) perform a 2vs9 hit, and kill them all without even a scratch the Italian guy goes:

Rocco: ****in' … what the ****in' **** … who the **** … **** this ****in' … how did you two ****in' ****s … ****!
Connor: Well, that certainly illustrates the diversity of the word.
[7:54:18 PM] Padmé: -.-
[7:54:30 PM] Cassanova: :D
[7:54:31 PM] Padmé: what did I just read?
[7:54:33 PM] Padmé: lol
[7:54:41 PM] Cassanova: Let me break it down, love.
[7:55:42 PM] Cassanova: ****in' (expletive)… what the ****in'(adjective) ****(expletive) … who the ****(expletive) … ****(verb) this ****in'(adjective) … how did you two ****in'(adjective) ****s(noun) … ****(verb)!
[7:55:44 PM] Cassanova: :)
[7:57:45 PM] Padmé: Congratulations, Bubba. You've just assaulted my senses in every possible way.
[7:58:03 PM] Padmé: ...and conversation is so quote worthy!
[7:58:39 PM] Cassanova: Its a shame it'd be a mass of **** *** **** **** * ** **** * *** * *

I can't find the article at the moment, but a while back, I read something that tasteful swearing at the work place improves morale. Frankly, I think it's BS (bad science) and I don't buy that.

Thoughts?

I flip-flop between being as polite as a little old lady at church to being as foul-mouthed as a sailor.

All depends on my mood. I just keep it toned down when I'm around folks I don't know.

FFS Pros, have some ****ing courtesy.

On a serious note, it doesn't bother me as much as it probably should. I grew up in a verbal abusive home, so I was fairly desensitized to much of it before I hit jr. high.

Go cockpunt a rhino. You grew up in ****ing Nebraska.

Anyhow, no. Words are words. There's a rich ****ing history to the word ****, for ****'s sake. It would be ****ing asinine to draw arbitrary limits on what language is acceptable or not. Now, if you mean that different ****ing company deserves some ****ing consideration, then ****ing yes, that's ****ing obvious, don't be a douchenozzle about it. I obviously wouldn't ****ing talk like this at the actual donkeyfingering cotillion. Or with my grandmother. Though the wrinkled old asshole can be ****ing saltier than I am.

Actually I find Padme's willingness to dismiss the power of the swear-word out of hand more offensive than actual swear-words. Why must you chain us so, Padme? Let my ****s run free!

Seriously, Padme. Link us to it. Actually read it. I think you're just substituting your hilariously bourgeoisie values for actual empirical analysis here.

Pace GABA, CORN is a filthy acronym. I'll let you all fill in the blanks.

I use swear words for emphasis.

Well, I can't understand 80% of this conversation!

I'll go find said article for you, Prospero. I know you're dying to read it.


EDIT:
News paper article.

Original source.

Considering only one word on this site is automatically censored to my knowledge, the fact that you can't follow the discussion is really worrying.

I'm tempted to censor the word Boli, or have it be automatically replaced with Poopface.

Cassa will prolly keel me, BUT even he had to Google some of the words here. Like oh CORN....

Also, on a serious note I'm not really casting judgement. I'm simply curious about the reasons why folks swear and etc etc.

Emphasis, funsies, idk. I don't have a problem with it unless you're dropping f bombs in front of kids. That really bugs me. Other than that, I married a ****ing sailor so we swear a lot in this household.
