Why are swears, swears. (Thanks 03isa)

[Richard Burns]

Why are swears, swears?

Who says a word is a swear or not?

What purpose do swear words serve then to label a word inappropriate.

It's so stupid.

[billhilly]

Because Jesus never said "F**K.

[Richard Burns]

Because Jesus never said "F**K.

But the word **** originated in England. It's was an acronym for Fornicate Under the Command of the King.

There was a population crisis and the king wanted people to have a lot of kids.

Today **** is the most versitile word in the English language.

No word should be a swear. It's pointless to label words as such.

Just goes to show you that people will bitch about anything. Thell them they can't have sex they bitch. Tell them they have to have sex they bitch.

Fu&k em!

[SnaFu]

Jesus must have been Amish.

His parents probably never let him listen to rock and roll either.

Fu&king old people.....

OK. So, JC is at work and hits his thumb with a hammer. WWJ say? Best I could find was "La'azazel itach". Hebrew for damn. Still looking for the Aramaic version.

"Fu&k!!!!" just seems so much more practical.

"Fu&k" is the American version of the Okinawan "ya"or "da".

Maybe Jesus was a Mormon. They are not allowed to curse.

[Mizzes V]

:scratchchin: So wise.....Cause I am catholic and I can curse!

[SnaFu]

Maybe Jesus was a Mormon. They are not allowed to curse.

He also had 10 wifes and came to Okinawa on a bicycle wearing a helmet and a white shirt.

[Godzilla]

Jesus for sure was not a catholic. He was a Jew, I think he may have even been the King of Jews. Anyway a really good friend of mine is Jewish (not in the Bogartty way but like in the religion) and he cruses all the time. So I think it is save to say that good ol' JC dropped the F Bomb every now and then.

[Blues]

Terms of profanity have historically been taboo (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taboo) words, because of a person's reaction to hearing such an unaccepted term. Some words that were originally considered profane have become much less offensive with the increasing secularity of society. Others, primarily racial or ethnic epithets, can be considered part of hate speech (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hate_speech) and are now considered more profane than they once were.

Many of the words now considered most 'profane' are held to be so because they were created to insult and disparage

thats why.

Did you know him personally as RM does? Maybe he was a cheap Jew.

Maybe that's where the expression: "Jesus Christ! Don't be such a fu&king cheap Jew" originated.

Actually, we are not that close. I have tired on a number times to hang with JC but RM is always hogging him. So yeah not sure if he is cheap or not.

A word is still only a word. Granted that the context and delivery of that word can have a great impact on the intent of a given word.

Any word put in the right context with inflection and tone can be just as offensive if the intent is racist or otherwise degrading.

:scratchchin:

[Richard Burns]

My point is a lot of swears are harmless and there's no reason for them to be taboo.

F&$ck
Shit vs. Feces
Ass vs. Bottocks
C%nt vs. Vagina
Dick vs. Penis

It makes no sense to ban one word and not th other.

Yeah I have been saying this for years. It is just one of things.
The problem is IMHO opinon is not the crusing, but when for example Fu$ck is the only word a guys knows and he over uses it. Case in point...

"Damn this ******* food is good. Where the **** did you get it from? Oh **** yeah I have been to that ******* place before. They make the best ******* hamburgers this side of the ******* Mississippi. They are so ******* good"

I actually know people who talk like this and it make them sound so stupid.

Food food = new Food();
food.isGood = True;
food.origin.questionText = "Where did you get it from?";
Restaurant restaurant = new Restaurant("That one place");
food.origin = food.origin.add(restaurant);
restaurant.description = "They make the best ******* hamburgers this side of the ****** Mississippi. They are so ******* good";

That's how I roll.

Swear words are considered profain, in part, by, the social climate/environment/situation. "Get me a new f**kin battery for the f**kin raido 'cause the f**kin thing is dead." is ok in the field. Telling your bank teller to "Hurry the f**k up . I'm on my lunch break".....maybe not so. Anyone remember "Shazbot!"?

but there's the rub. Sure, saying **** would offend the bank teller, BUT **** is not a deemed swear because it offends the bank teller. The bank teller is offended because it is considered a swear.

SO, back to the beginning, WHY is **** considered a swear. Who was the first person to say "****" and who after that decided "oh, we're not going to be saying that".

Yes, all the racial slurs and disparaging remarks make sense but shit? damn? ass? Who decided that these were "naughty words".

Wait. The Chicago Bears don't count. I've been saying forever the ONLY NFL team is those Patriots!!!!!!

Swear words were invented by those with less than sparkling intelligence and served to expand the cretins otherwise extremely limited vocabulary.

Aren't they the basis of the entire military vernacular?

Again, this thread only proves that there is nothing wrong with swear words and the only reason they're bad is because somebody said so.

Why are bears bears?
Why are flares flares?!

the stock holder shares. :D

Do they share their pears or hide them under the stairs?

Do they share their pears or hide them under the stairs?

most of the time in underground lairs.

I don't much care but it's still not fair.

I don't much care but it's still not fair.

I just realized, my nuggets have no hair ~~:w00t:

[SpaceGhost]

wear and tear everywhere..






p.s. this thread makes more sense as a rhyme game than the original OP




i kid i kid

[0341isa]

Everywhere ?

Or Just over there?

In the room where SW shaved his nuggets bare?

I shaved mine, but the itching was beyond compare.

When the hairs grew back the itching flared.

Felt like I had a wild hare

scratching around in my underwear!

[Carl]

Busying his nuggets, Isa was
on this November day just because.
After taking a poo
with little to do,
he decided to shave
so boldly, so brave.
With his pubes now all gone
he stared blankly upon,
and wondered if the itch
would prove to be a bitch.

Two days later something was wrong
as he examined his dong.
The itch was much worse.
His decision he could not reverse.
He could only scratch
and hope that he would catch
some sort of relief
from his itching little chief.

[0341isa]

Isa's dignity stolen by an internet thief
who would dare call his arrow a "little chief"
its a walking stick that leaves women in awe
and made paraplegics of many a squaw
its more the size of a sitting bull,
my date would say so, but her mouth is full

still the totem pole itches, and maybe that could
mean that termites infested the mighty wood
now maybe a trip to the medicine man
can get this itching delimma in hand
along with the pee that burns like flambe
and this bump that i dont think i had yesterday...

[Spadesy]

Now you might want to sock her a clop in the choppers or shock her by making a grab at her knockers but she'll call the coppers and you'll land in jail where you eat bread and water and shit in a pail so if you've enough of her womanly guff no need to be rough it'll be quite enough to call her bluff with a huff and a puff just stuff your foot straight into her muff

[Carl]

The bumps will go away
so the medicine man did say.
And they did indeed leave
granting temporary reprieve.
But now the hair is more thick
like if Chewbacca had a dick.
Isa's date's mouth was still full
but with what looks like sheep's wool.
Isa's dignity was at a loss,
but at least his date could now floss.
Killing two birds with one stone,
dental hygiene and a moan.

[0341isa]

While the flossing was fine the hairs were not
Isa date couched and as she struggled and fought
to remove the itchy hair from her thoat
she continued to couch and proceeded to choke
till she hocked up a hairball as is a large cat
so ISA decided, well enough of that

and he grabbed a big bottle of mint infused nair
and proceeded to napalm his testicle hair
so his junk was now smooth and hairless and clean,
but behold the mint flavor had turned the boys green!
would this be a problem he pondered and worried and wondered
and could he still get sex with this colorful blunder

so he knew where to go to find out an answer
his favorite ****buddy sweet blonde samantha
he opened his pants and he pulled off his drawers
and he ashed her to savor his emerald balls

but she turned him down cold, one thing she wouldn't do
was lick on the gear in its darkened green hue
Isa prodded and pleaded and demanded why
and samantha returned that familiar childhood reply
"I do not like green eggs and ham.
I do not like them Sam I AM!"

[Carl]

LMAO!
Oh the places you go!
Your rhymes are unmatched.
Believable, yet far-fetched.
Your humor has no rival
with this tale of your rifle.
Off topic this thread went
my brain cells all spent.
Rhyming's not my thing
In that area Isa is king.

I leave with just one note
which I have carefully wrote.
Isa should say
in the most romantic of way
to his date that she
should try them and see.
She just may proclaim,
"I like green eggs and ham!"
And she would eat them in a boat!
And she would eat them with a goat...
And she will eat them in the rain.
And in the dark. And on a train.
And in a car. And in a tree.
"They are so good, so good, you see!"

[0341isa]

ahh hahaha. How the hell did this thread get to this point. Well done sir.

(I think later on I WILL see if I can get my date to eat them in the dark...:D)

[Carl]

I had no work today and I am bored out of my mind. This provided me great amusement :D

[Crazysix]

it seems that great amusement
ended in Isa behoovement
as his small rock of old
sat in the cold
the boys had a plan
to leave this poor man
the one so mean
that painted them green

[SnaFu]

There once was a man from Nantucket

Never mind....

[Richard Burns]

Never mind that I like 69 all the time

[Guyjin]

Because Jesus never said "F**K.
.......Ahhmmmmmmm ...think she/them they/ would have said * * * *ETH THEE....
