Bleep words

Should dam, the derivitave of damnation  be bleeped?

I don't think so. I keep forgetting it gets bleeped, and then it looks like I said something much worse.

Dammit

Perhaps it was considered blasphemous or something, as in "hell and damnation", but I thought it was a rather tame word.

I think it should be taken off the bleep list, unless someone(s) here really do object to it.

my mother always use to use that word and she was a very straight laced person..........so it must be okay, or she would never have used it.

Dam n - a common form of religious profanity ( from my friend google).

**bleep**NIC - yeah, i laughed when i saw that get bleeped the other day too, pimpy.

Same iwth my Nana, PH. She used to say things like 'blighter' and 'you stinker' if she was cranky at something

to pimpy: ...ref older rellies using funny cuss words.....my Dear Mum used to tell us, when we were at pimary school, learning to swear (!) ....that to say 'RABBITS!!!' was much more effective and not offensive.

yep. .....but does not have quite the same ring to it !?!

LOL, I call people 'dopey rabbit' and also 'peanut'

My grandma on the heathen side called us little buggers and would tell the townies to go to buggery

[azureline**]

We were never allowed say that dammit word, nor any others................. I still cringe when my sister swears.

Last night I was treated to a few choice words by a caller.......... I told him there was no need to be rude, give me the number and I will get the correct person to return the call............ he said I am not being bleeping rude at all.

I just don't understand people who only have 4 words to their vocabulary.

Hmm I've been bleeped for that one too. I don't see it as a really bad word, so I don't think it should be bleeped either
