Crazy the amount of swearing in this forum

[themadhippy]

On some long journeys, I see some surprising names

no need for long journeys, blue balls is only 15 minutes from intercourse

Anyone remember Sylvester Stallone in Demoliition Man ? In that proposed future, swearing gets punished by what appears to be some sort of Alexa device that is always listening for unacceptable words  You get a language violation ticket and if you keep swearing, it calls the Police on you !

Take a look at a collection of examples from the film here :

The problem with using the more unpleasant swear word on a public forum is that many young eyes read these forums and some parents may not like them reading forums with a lot of foul language. It would be a pity to lose any younger forum members as a result of parental intervention. That said, many youngsters could likely teach me a few highly unpleasant swear words these days  I do not find this forum to be an environment in which serious swearing is common and that is great for everyone.

In my experience, the kids these days use more swear words than us older farts. Certainly you'd likely hear more swearing in the halls of a highschool than on this forum.

Oh pretty, pretty please, don't have any bans on bad words. This forum is one of the few places on the Internet where one can say what they likes with very little censorship. Social media is so woke, with censorship, it's beyond the joke.

At the end of the day, words are not physical and do not harm anyone, it is the intent behind their use that does the harm. Communication is complex and takes many forms, some not so pleasant, swearing is as old as the hills !

Just so.

I occasionally told my daughter that it was perfectly possible to use her name as a swear word. All it needs is intent, emotion, and intonation!

yea but  miss.bastardcuntyfuckballs tggzzz aint  that   common  a name

Swearing isn't as offensive as it used to be. Society changes. Old newspapers wouldn't print the f-word, but wouldn't have a problem with racial slurs such as paki and coon. Nowadays they will happily print cunt and fuck, but not p-word and c**n.

And with all the abbreviations due to sms and other texting you can do it much faster. MFWTFPCAH and so on. 5 swear words or phrases in 9 letters

NFG is one I get often.

I once worked for a company where the tech staff used NFG for fault markings.
Then one day all the executives got company cars. They all arrived with the number plates starting with NFG...

Hi,

A forum user drops a statement here that is clearly incorrect and then doesn't show his face again....

And a reasonable number of other forum users jump on the topic....

Don't you guys have anything better to do, it's like a pub here sometimes... 

Kind regards,
Bram

What's wrong with hanging out at a pub?

But I just checked.
There are no CHIPS in stock, to go with the meal, especially MCU flavored ones.
The bowl of NUTS is empty.  Apparently all the NUTS have turned their hand, into SPAM BOTing.

During WW2 British troops used to needle American troops by marking unserviceable equipment as "U/S".

Personally I don’t like swearing, but provided others don’t behave that way in front of my family then it’s entirely their business. For those that want it, there are profanity filters available for Firefox and probably other browsers too.

Even some normal UK road name

we did have a gropecunt lane here,but the puritans got a bit wobbly and insisted it got renamed.How long before the twatts  in Orkney get relocated?

You can always say "bugger it" & move to Shitterton!

The UK used to be very "high & mighty" back in the 1960s/70s about being the only country with a "Race Relations Act".
My feeling, after living there for a while in 71/72 as that they were the only country that needed one!

The "P, C, & N words" were widespread amongst the demographic I worked with.
Then there was the "much loved"  "Black & White Minstrel Show" on TV, with completely unnecessary "blackface" on the performers, not to mention "Till Death Us Do Part".

Before I went there, I thought Alf Garnett was ridiculously over drawn, but, "bugger me", I'm sure I worked with him!

That, of course, was the English-------Scottish swear words are often incomprehensible, although they can make the word "England" sound like one!

We would often turn off the main breaker of faulty things which shouldn't be turned on & label them "disabled".
The first time I encountered a "Disabled" toilet, I wondered why anyone would disable a dunny!

Cant get a better example of people taking offence on behalf of others,banned by the bbc for being offensive to disabled people

Even though it was written and performed by someone registered as disabled and who  often referred to himself as a raspberry

Profanity filters drive me nuts. I mean not in concept, but in practice they tend to be incredibly stupid. Alexa is one of the worst offenders I have dealt with, words like "pussycat" and "pussyfoot" are not dirty/swear words at all and yet "she" will say "<bleep> cat" and there is no way to disable that.
