RE: Why The Fuck Is Swearing Fucking Bad?

in #swearing8 years ago

Lol, Manhattan. What would they call it? Manatee, manhole, Manitoba, man, woman, human, Manchester.... the list goes on and on. All those words should be eliminated, I guess.

I think kids will always swear amongst each other - idiomatic swearing. It's for them to know when there will be negative consequences whether it's swearing or not that's important. I know I swore a lot with friends, but I knew when to hold back too. Some people don't learn that.

Sort:  

It's insane to me that we live in a time when the word "man" is offensive. The woman that was on the show was asked about woman, and she says don't call me a woman, call me a person... but I guess in a society where we can identify as a hippo if we want to, that's to be expected.
You're right, some people won't exercise cursing etiquette, there's a place and a time, and some just don't care, but I see too that respect isn't as important as it once was, and I think that kinda goes hand in hand.
