Hmmm, thread about swearing.... simmo is posting..... bet he says ****.

Well think again, bawbags! I don't really care, as long as I'm allowed to swear I will do so. I am perfectly capable of curtailing my language in situations that require such restraint, if this place were to become one, I dare say I could live with it.

That said, I feel that I must use the phrase "Think again, bawbags!" much more frequently - it has an almost poetic ring to it, and none of this namby-pamby "ballbags" pish that bloke off Channel 4 comes out with constantly.
 
Oh, for goodness sake, Phil: I've made 17229 posts and you've found the F word an entire eighteen times? Well, strip me down and shiver me timbers! If that isn't blatant favouritism, I don't know what is!

Right, maybe you'd like now to come to CONTEXT? If someone is going off on a rant, as Euro has been over his Council Tax, and using a whole load of effs and 'c' words in a single topic, it comes over as extremely aggressive. I don't say I don't do that - I'm not a bleedin' Pollyanna any more than you - but I never use the 'c' word and I'm never going to, either. I will sometimes use the 'F' word in a joking manner - however, check out the number of jokes on the Jokes Section which contain it, and you'll see it all goes to context and INTENT. Euro can get through 18 Fs in a single day when he's in one of his furious moods, so get a sense of proportion about it all.
 
Real laydee's like us don't swear frequently.

By the way, people only have to meet you and I to realise we would only ever swear when the situation really required it. Of course, we are the only ones who know when that may be. B)

Now eff off Krizon, and go and sort out the more pressing problems on this forum. h:)
 
The point is not how many times you have said the word (18 topics does not mean 18 times....it is far more than that), the point is that you have been allowed to type expletives without any editing being done afterwards. Others have not had that treatment.

That's unfair.

And stop getting so defensive or I'll have you whacked.
 
You are, without doubt, the most pointless poster on this forum.

Be under no disillusions that you are not.
 
Jay Torbitt total contribution to the old forum was to copy and paste everything from somewhere else.

Feck off, gayboy. I'm flattered you've taken so much notice of my posts and that I've sworn unfettered by the attentions of our moderators: could it be because the swearing isn't aimed at people, and isn't over-used as a term of constant abuse, as Euro's swearing is? As I said before, and will have to say 2,583 times before it sinks in, apparently, it is the CONTEXT of swearing which counts. As you ****ing well know, ya scaggie tosswallop.

Simmo, surely the correct phrase is 'bawbag' (singular), rather than 'bawbags' (plural)?


Or am I just being a doss c**t?
 
I'd rather see a bit of well-placed, healthy swearing than fascist, racist, sexist tosh. There's absolutely no need for it.
 
Serious question: why don't people like to see 'bad' or 'foul' language in the written form? Isn't it a little soft to get upset at the written word??

And who defines a word as 'bad' or 'foul' anyway?

Our language is constantly evolving, and the classic 'swear-words' of yesteryear - yes, even the 'C' word - have taken on a different meaning nowadays. It's been said that it is a derogatory term for the female. Maybe 50 years ago, but not these days - not in my experience anyway.

The 'C' word is used as a genuine term of endearment amongst me and my pals. Either that, or they just think I'm a c**t.
