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 dropped the F-bomb out on the golf course this morning when I missed a short putt.  It was in a very good cause and I felt much better afterwards.  Does that make it ok?

Without going too dark and heavy about it, it simply released my frustration at myself.

Hell yeah, I do that all the time. They can probably hear me on Hole 1.

An adult word?  What does that mean?  Why cant children use adult words?

If you don't think its a swear word, why cant you use it on a public forum?  ?:|

Actually ebay would be the only forum out of about 20 I know that word cant be used on

oh how sweet of you!

I know.

I can safely say I don't swear or blaspheme....... I never have and can't see a reason to.

I am not so precious that I object to anyone else doing it... unless they are saying it TO me..... or in the hearing of children or older people they know don't like it.

Intent, tone and circumstances are all involved.

Then you have a lot of self control.  I don't like swearing or blaspheming but there have been a few times in my life where words have should we say escaped lol!. I don't think anyone is perfect but I dislike it when people use the F word and other offensive words constantly esp around children and when they are in your face with it.

It's wrong to swear I'm going to pray for the CS swearers

Clair, pray extra hard for me pretty please.

I swear, sometimes for effect and others because I am a little hot under the collar, or maybe I just jammed my finger in the door.

Whatever the reason, I do swear and I am pretty sure I can string a sentence together and be quite eloquent about it.

Gee whiz, golly gosh.....they just don't cut it
