What do you consider swearing?

[daydream**believer]

For me, there is no question that the words that start with F, C and even the S word are swearing.

I never use the C word but i will admit to very occasionally using the other two.

I dont count the female dog word as a swear word, but, i would not allow my kids to use it. Its an adult word imo.

I think people who use alternate words in place of swear words, like shoot, fiddlesticks etc, are swearing. IMO if you slip a word in place of a swear word, then that makes it a swear word by proxy

I've given a lot of thought and had a lot of discussion over people's dislike of the C word.  Some say it is the ultimate swear word.  Is there a reason people here don't like it/use it?

it doesn't make a lot of sense as a swear word really. to a hetero male its a bit like calling someone wonderful for annoying behaviour.

Friends of mine had that dilemma.

To her it was the worst word she could get called.

To him it was something he had been always called so could not understand the fuss.

:^O one could take that a number of ways

[freddie*rooster]

It's even worse if it has dumb in front of it freaky, maybe that's what he was called.

I just stubbed my toe on a stick and couldn't swear because the neighbour was in her back yard 😐

Until recently my children thought idiot was a swear word because we don't allow it to be used in this house. Also stupid and shut up.
