No shit
Depends on the situation and environment. But then what the hell?
F’n A
It’s lazy language, nothing more.
So the author would have us believe that the “poets” of most every Rap “song”, are merely enthusiastically emphasizing their emotive responses, rather than the vulgar and common, as they express themselves with profanity.
Funny, I have read Einstein, Poe, Twain, Shakespeare, Feyman, Dickens, Hemmingway, Tolkein, Orwell, Heinlien, Asmov, Koontz and many others - and they have expressed almost every emotion known to mankind - and didn’t seem to feel the need to use profanity.
Some of the best comics who have ever graced the stage, could provide hours of legendary performance, and never go there. May I offer Red Skelton as an example.
Damned freaking tootin’.
CV19 vaccines are good for you too!
“It generates a range of distinctive outcomes: physiological, cognitive, emotional, pain-relieving, interactional and rhetorical.”
It had those outcomes, none of them positive.
Swearing in the wrong situation is like talking to someone with a piece of spinach on your teeth. They are so distracted by your mouth, they don’t register the rest of what you’re saying.
It’s noise pollution. Like throwing trash at someone. Do I swear? Yes. To keep it at a minimum, I pray. I know I swear at myself less when I remember to pray.
I am tired of the BS. Do I sound a little jaded here?
Me either. How else is there to express oneself appropriately in this country?
DU is jammed pack with healthy people!
Otherwise, there’s something wrong with people who never swear.
Almost as much wrong as people who swear all the time.
The f#ck?
I try to avoid blaspheming. I void, I mean AVOID, those who blaspheme often, though I will let a certain amount of it go in a stressful situation.
Cussing is okay, if it’s not too predictable and/or tiresome. As always, however, it’s the owner of the establishment’s rules. And I’m seldom the owner of the establishment.
I am, like almost every normal person, completely against people swearing when they know that there are kids or old folks, or religious folks, around. I still have guilt attacks about the times when I TRIED to offend innocent people who were just out for a family-friendly good time. I am not being sarcastic - one time when I was very young and performing at Catholic “guitar mass” me and my friend did “Jesus Joy of Man’s Desiring” for Xmas and afterwards I said, “I don’t believe in Jesus” or some sh*t like that AT MASS. A couple of people expressed that they were upset by it - good for them!
If kids swear, you should gently correct them but then also tell them that if they’re imitating adults, no harm no foul, just don’t do it again.
Jesus: It’s good of you to mention guilt.
Me: Well, I do feel guilty. Not kidding.
JC: Will you say that again? I didn’t have the recorder turned on.
Damn right
I don’t use them all the time....but there are times when a good string of vile curses is most definitely called for.
When you hit your thumb with a hammer “oh gee, darn” just ain’t gonna cut it.
Tender lady Nathalie can’t find better subject to write about…
It’s been proven that swearing helps to relieve pain. Swearing activates your fight or flight instinct, and releases pain dulling chemicals into your system. So next time you hit your thumb with a hammer, let it all out. You will literally feel better, in a clinical way.
