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

lol ddb 

its not the word 

its the tone that counts .

Yes!  and the intent behind the word.

A poster on here told me the other day that she is a far better person as she doesn't swear - the day after that i saw her drop the f bomb on facebook - i just laughed.  :^O

So many use some of the really bad words in their everyday language and their tone is not rude or abusive. Its just the way they talk, unable to string a sentence together without swearing.

Are they bogans?

Am i being a bogan by using the word bogan on them?

nah...."bogan" is not considered as a profane term.   The other one is.

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.
