Swearing...?

[Lieutenant Shotgun]

If you swear at someone, are you insulting them?

If you call them a b***h or something, you are, but what if you say "what the ********" or something?  

[Matron Mord Sith]

...******** curse a lot. I naturally have a potty mouth but I'm tasteful about it ;D  

[greeness]

I'm a good girl in the sense that I don't swear. I do say 'crap' and 'piss', but those aren't really swear words, they're just distasteful. I do say 'damn', but in the sense its supposed to mean XP  

[Hester Peche]

Depends on intent and tone.

Like you could be joking around with your buddies, and say "******** you" in a joking tone and you wouldn't be insulting them.

On the other hand, let's say you have a super bitchy cashier, then when you pick up your bags you harshly say, "Have a nice day". It would come across as something mean.

So swearing isn't bad. But, I was always told "swearing makes you sound unitelligent" ....******** that s**t.

I only use crap or frick. But that is it. I think if you use anything else then its bad.  

[Sensation Ari]

I swear all the time, so it's kind of lost it's meaning for me.
Unless I really am pissed and are swearing at someone.

 

[Chelsea X111]

i dont think swearing is really bad until that really hurts a person  

[minisailormon]

I say all kinds of colorful words  

[lEnmity]

I don't mind when people says bad words, but if they say bad words to me I get a bit sensitive lol.
For example, my ex best friend in real life called me a "fuucker". I was pretty sensitive when she said that. :/
I also didn't like the fact that she swears in front of me and calling me bad words. D:
Some people are ULTRA sensitive. Especially when your best friend says it to you. It just hurts in the heart. =w=;
That's why she is no longer my best friend. :]
I am free from drama when I am not with her.~ 8D

 

[Iceestar]

I think swearing is ok. I do it sometimes when I REALLY mad.  

[Lieutenant Shotgun]

I swear all the time. ******** ******** ******** ******** ******** ********! D8<

Anyway, Hester, you have a point. This douchebag said I as insulting him for dropping the f-bomb TWICE (sensitive much). - _ -; ******** loser.  

[Hester Peche]

Well does the "F word" even really mean anything?

And if you delve into the root and actually meaning of "swear words", they aren't all that insulting.

They are just words like anyother...  

[Lieutenant Shotgun]

Right!

Damn is a verb.

s**t is a ******** is... a verb with a suckish past tense.

b***h is a noun and verb.

a** is a noun.

d**k is a noun. d**k is another word I say quite frequently. But I say ******** the most.

s**t is POO. (oh, so ******** is... intercourse.

A b***h is a pregnant dog. (Right?)

An a** is your... a**, or a donkey (right?).

And a d**k is... >///>;

Yup this is what I was going to say. There's a time and a place for everything, and in the right time and place swearing is not at all offensive.

A b***h is a female dog. Pregnancy optional, but then they'd be a dam once they give birth :3

a** is a type of donkey/burro thing, naming it after a bum just came later ;P
