What do you consider to be bad language? We all have certain words or expressions that we find offensive. And there are others that we know are offensive to some but don't disturb us personally. And there are still others that we accept as offensive, but don't really know why. Billy Connolly once said that there is no such thing as bad language, just bad use of language. I tend to agree. I think if can't can't form a sentence without using a profanity, then that's bad use of language. Equally, if you're going to dance around trying not to use a swear word, that's bad use of language too. We all know the kind of person who couldn't possibly say 'fart.' Have you noticed though, that these same peopel can't say 'break wind' either. So they end up using some silly little euphamism like 'fluff' or 'make a smell.' Let's just say 'fart' and be done with it. After all, of all the 'naughty' words, it's the only one that has a single meaning and there is no other single word that means the same thing. Then there are rappers. They love the f-word. I do find that somewhat offensive. But the reason I find it offensive is not the fact that they use the word, but the way they use it. It's a place-holder. Rap takes an awful lot of syllables and any time you're a few syllables short, just throw in a 'f*cking' or two. It's offensive to me because it's lazy writing. But what of the words themselves? Why is it that the vulgar expression for a woman's genitals is considered so offensive when the vulgar expressions for a man's genitals are considered pretty tame? Your thoughts? |

Bill, to be honest there isn't a single swear word that offends me. Even the dreaded "c" word!!! Of course, there is a time and place for every swear word. They shouldn't be used just willy nilly (apologies to those offended by the word willy) They are expressive words and should be used accordingly. If I object to anything it's those people who feel the need to swear in every sentence. And there are a frightening number of those going about. That is as Billy Connelly would say bad use of langauge. |

Well, all curse words are designated as offensive by humans. B*tch and b*stard used to have acceptable definitions, only somewhere down the line people must have decided that instead of hearing simple words, they'd rather hear bad, bad words. However, as long as they remain designated as such I think kids and the likes should be prevented from hearing and saying them. I wasn't allowed to say crap when I was younger - is that even a naughty word anymore? People are becoming so immune, they're going to have to start coming up with new curse words. I say 'apple' and 'nectarine' would make good ones. |

Interestingly enough, the bad f-word used to be a perfectly legitimate word but become vulgar by being used as an expletive. These days, when people want to use a non-offensive expletive starting with F, they invariably say 'freak.' I wonder if a time will come when "freak" is considered as bad as "f*ck" is today and the latter word again becomes rather tame. |

No words in themselves particularly bother me. I'm a big fan of Billy Connolly
I've seen him live a couple of times and I think he uses swear words to enhance his stories which are hilarious. I don't like swearing used in the lazy way you speak of Bill. I think people should make a bit more effort. In a different scenario I've worked with people who have had traumatic head injuries. Often in these circumstances due to damage to their brain they may suffer from dis-inhibition and swear words are used freely in situations where it would normally be socially inappropriate. (sometimes embarrassing sometimes funny sometimes threatening...) I have also been on the receiving end on several ocassions of abusive and manipulative use of swear words to try and intimidate me. Personally I very rarely use swear words, If I do however I never direct it anyone but use it to convey then I am extremely frustrated or angry about a situation and people know they better do something fast to improve it. I suppose that in that sense they are very effective. To sum up my answer, no I am not offended by swearing as such but I can sometimes feel that its use is not warranted in certain circumstances. I accept that other people have a right to a different point of view. |

I'm all for the use of swear words in extreme situations, but I think they should be reserved for just that. The only time swear words bother me are when someone uses a million of them whenever they speak about anything. Then is just becomes annoying.... |

Nothing offends me. Actually, not being a native english speaker, all the 'offensive' english words have no impact on me whatsoever. In greek I tend to use lots of swear words but I find them 'ugly' and try not to. I also don't like hearing someone else use them, not because their meaning offends me, but because they sound bad. I actually like some english swear words, like t*at or bollocks (sorry). What I really hate is 'f*cking'. I don't mind 'f*ck', but 'f*cking' gets on my bloody nerves. Hah, I love bloody! |

Having grown up in NYC where swear words can be used for anything and any situtaion, I'm so inumme to when people swear. But really, people have been using these words for over hundreds of year. The word f*ck dates back from Chauncher and Canterbury Tales, as well as the most common swear words used today. I was shocked to discover that when I was assigned to read Canterbury Tales in my English Lit class but also amazed to know that that's where more likely people started to use these words. I find it rather funny at those who get appauled at such words, for some, those are pretty much the only words that they know to express theirselfs. Example, I had lent an aquatince a copy of my grandfather's autobiography. He was your typical guy from Brooklyn, yes, educated but still had a mouth on him, his writing reflected that. My friend was in shock after reading it, saying to me, "my father was from Brooklyn, same background and never uttered a word like that in his life!" I just laughed and said, "well I don't know where in Brooklyn he was from then because everyone I know from there swears like a salior!" I admit, I swear pretty heartily myself. I have shocked people with my mouth at times, just because there those who did not expect certian words out of my mouth. But I do know there's times and places you shouldn't say certian words. I get offended when I hear people swear in front of little kids in public places or people swearing loudly on their cell phones again in a public place (BIIIIGGGG pet peeve of mine!), but I'm not shocked at it, just disgusted. |

Honestly, no words offend me. Though I hate it when people swear just for the sake of it, but it doesn't necessarily offend me. More the context its in. Alot of my older family members on my Dads side are pretty relaxed about swearing - they do it alot of the time. Whereas Mum's side of the family is a little more uptight about it - I sometimes get scoldered by my Nan and Aunties for saying "Jesus Christ!" or "For Gods sake" I don't want to imagine what they'd say if I let "f*ck" slip. I swear/curse sometimes and my little brother swears like a sailor and he's only 11 (but never in front of Mum) and I really hate that. I swear, but usually only when its appropriate. |

I tend to use "f*ck" when I'm trying to think of something else to say! We've all been there, halfway through a sentence and there's one particular word that goes out of your mind - eg "I was in the store the other day and wanted to buy some......f*ck, what's it called??" I really don't like the C word, but will use the P word when describing my girly bits. As for the male bits, I think "dick" is the strongest word I've used. |

Bill, you old fart. Quit farting around and do something farting usefull for a change. My point, of course, being that your precious fart word does indeed have multiple uses. Personally, I don't give a flying rat's a*s how the f*ck a bunch of c*ck s*cking sons of b*tches talk. Anyone who is offended by language can s*ck my d*ck. What some consider to be bad words helped me learn English. There is no more expressive word in the English language than "f*ck". Someone once said that only the uneducated have to resort to foul langauge. My response: Go **** your *****, you ***** ******. By the way, us New Yorkers don't swear a lot. That's a p** ***ing load of c**ks**t. |

I'm fairy immune to bad language as both my father and mother swore a lot, more so later in life. It wasn't so much because they were angry - it was just part of their vernacular. I sound like a longshoreman at times and have tried to tone it down a bit, especially since I hear two of my kids swear a lot, and quite frankly, I don't like it so much. As stated by other posters, I have a problem with it when a better word would suffice. I've never been too restrictive on my kids about their language because they are all pretty articulate - I just don't want them becoming lazy with their vocabulary. The only day we really let it rip is on "Soprano Sunday" when we all sound like derelicts by the end of the show! I pay more attention to the intent of what one is saying over content. |

You know, if it was completely up to me then there would be no 'profanity' filter here - after all, whether there's an asterisk there or not, people know what the word is, no matter how young they are... they're young, not stupid! I think I was cussing in the schoolyard as young as seven years old, so I wouldn't have been fooled by "f*ck".
Unfortunately, owing to the terms & conditions of the board license, 'excessive profanity' isn't allowed. It's an ambiguous term, open to interpretation, so - in terms of keeping our board out of trouble with the people who host it - those little asterisks are quite handy. We had quite a lot of fun thinking of every single cuss word to create our profanity filter as well, I can tell you. You can just imagine the conversation between Fiona and I. Play a game, if you like - beat the profanity filter! See if you can get anything past it. :lol: |

George Carlin's Seven Dirty Words The big seven words you weren't allowed to broadcast were: sh*t, p*ss, f*ck, c*nt, c*cks**ker, mofo and Tits. Here is the original Carlin comedy routine that caused the Fracas. "I love words. I thank you for hearing my words. I want to tell you something about words that I uh, I think is important. I love..as I say, they're my work, they're my play, they're my passion. Words are all we have really. We have thoughts, but thoughts are fluid. You know, [humming]. And, then we assign a word to a thought, [clicks tongue]. And we're stuck with that word for that thought. So be careful with words. I like to think, yeah, the same words that hurt can heal. It's a matter of how you pick them. There are some people that aren't into all the words. There are some people who would have you not use certain words. Yeah, there are 400,000 words in the English language, and there are seven of them that you can't say on television. What a ratio that is. 399,993 to seven. They must really be bad. They'd have to be outrageous, to be separated from a group that large. All of you over here, you seven. Bad words. That's what they told us they were, remember? 'That's a bad word.' 'Awwww.' There are no bad words. Bad thoughts. Bad Intentions. And words, you know the seven don't you? sh*t, p*ss, f*ck, c*nt, c*cks**ker, mofo, and Tits, huh? Those are the heavy seven. Those are the ones that will infect your soul, curve your spine and keep the country from winning the war. sh*t, p*ss, f*ck, c*nt, c*cks**ker, mofo, and Tits, wow. Tits doesn't even belong on the list, you know. It's such a friendly sounding word. It sounds like a nickname. 'Hey, Tits, come here. Tits, meet Toots, Toots, Tits, Tits, Toots.' It sounds like a snack doesn't it? Yes, I know, it is, right. But I don't mean the sexist snack, I mean, New Nabisco Tits. The new Cheese Tits, and Corn Tits and Pizza Tits, Sesame Tits Onion Tits, Tater Tits, Yeah. Betcha can't eat just one. That's true I usually switch off . But I mean that word does not belong on the list. Actually, none of the words belong on the list, but you can understand why some of them are there. I am not completely insensitive to people's feelings. You know, I can dig why some of those words got on the list...like c*cks**ker and mofo. Those are...those are heavy-weight words. There's a lot going on there, man. Besides the literal translation and the emotional feeling. They're just busy words. There's a lot of syllables to contend with. And those K's. Those are aggressive sounds, they jump out at you. C*cks*ckerM*therf*ckerC*cksu*ker. It's like an assault, on you. So I can dig that. And we mentioned sh*t earlier, of course. Two of the other 4-letter Anglo-Saxon words are p*ss and c*nt, which go together of course. But forget about that. A little accidental humor there. p*ss and c*nt. The reason p*ss and c*nt are on the list is that a long time ago certain ladies said 'Those are the two I am not going to say. I don't mind f*ck and sh*t, but P and C are out. P and C are out.' Which led to such stupid sentences as 'OK, you f*ckers, I am going to tinkle now.' And of course the word f*ck. The word f*ck, I don't really...well, this is some more accidental humor, but I don't really want to get into that now. Because I think it takes too long. But I do mean that. I mean, I think the word f*ck is an important word. It's the beginning of life, and, yet it's a word we use to hurt one other, quite often. And uh, people much wiser than I have said, I'd rather have my son watch a film with two people making love than two people trying to kill one other. And I of course agree. I wish I know who said it first, and I agree with that. But I would like to take it a step further. I would like to substitute the word f*ck, for the word kill in all those movie cliches we grew up with. 'Okay Sheriff, we're gonna f*ck ya now. But we're gonna f*ck ya slow.' So maybe next year I'll have a whole f*ckin' rap on that word. I hope so. Uh, there are two-way words, but those are the seven you can never say on television. Under any circumstances you just can not say them ever, ever ever, not even clinically. You can not weave them in the panel with Doc and Ed and Johnny, I mean it's just impossible, forget those seven, they're out. But, there are some two-way words. There are double-meaning words. Remember the ones your giggled at in sixth grade? 'And the c*ck crowed three times. Hey, the c*ck crowed three times. It's in the bible.' There are some Two-way words, like it's okay for Curt Gowdy [mis-spelled in original transcription. -ed.] to say 'Roberto Clemente has two balls on him.' But he can't say, 'I think he hurt his balls on that play Tony, don't you? He's holding them. He must have hurt them by God.' And the other two-way word that goes with that one is prick. It's okay if it happens to your finger. Yes, you can prick your finger, but don't finger your prick. No, no." |

Thanks for that!! :lol: One thing that's funny is in Portuguese "foder" means both "to catch" and also "to f*ck" and so you could inadertantly be asking where you can f*ck a bus if you're in one of the regions which has this meaning for the word. :lol: |

I've seen him live a couple of times and I think he uses swear words to enhance his stories which are hilarious.
