Maybe this is a stupid post or maybe not.. What are you alls opion (and no you dont have to cuss in this topic just to say ur opion) Here is what im saying. If these words are bad to say (as some ppl think) I mean some people think that like the devil created the words but were the one who created the words, fuck = sex, shit = crap , damn = darn , and so on ,i mean some ppl get mad and like dont say that like my parents but i PREDICT in the future that my kids will be sayin like fuck u dad, just like today some kids say u suck dad and so on, so .. wat do u all think??? |

I don't think cuss words are needed to express yourself in the english language. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
people invent these words, then call them evil. how stupid is that?! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the word "fuck" can have about 20 different meanings. it can be a noun, a verb, an interjection... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
a lot of cuss words didn't start out as cuss words - their meaning evolved... ...and a lot of old cuss-words now are viewed as being harmless |

As society changes the boundries and language will change also. 200 years ago i'd have probably been flogged or something in america for saying 'damn'! |

Yep, unless the PC brigade step in ;) Look at old english text from the time of the reformation in Britain and you'll see swearing even in stuff written by scholars & clergy! I think you can be far more biting and insulting using irony and sarcasm than swearing at someone. See the "this will reach 100 thread" for a good example. Look at stuff that I and Cygnus said after about 200 posts w/o swearing. |

harmless like what words Marlowe? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
for example: "peig" is greek for evil it eventually became "f***" |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well, i kno "peig" is a root word, but i dunno for sure if it still used in the greek language today |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
like "damn" as ben said, or even "bloody", which is, as i am sure you're all aware, a compound word of the phrase "By Our Lady". |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
The word "cunt" came from the old Norse word "Kunta" |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
By our lady? what does that mean? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
what are pepoles opinion about 'cuss words' on this messageboard then? I thought people didn't mind, being broadminded afx followers and everything, but maybe I was wrong? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|

It's English in origin actually came from the latin "Cunnus" - a horrible name for a horrible thing. "Cunt" actually originally didn't *mean* anything, it was just an offensive word. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'm less inclined to take seriously the comments/opinions of people who use them indescriminately. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I swear a lot in real life, but i'm not too serious about it as long as the person i'm talking to know in which manner its meant |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
cunnus: similar to "cunning"? "peig" & "pagan"...makes sense... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I swear more than I'd like too in real life, but online I'm quite restrained. I believe that by using them in moderation people pay more attention when you say them. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
possibly, its hard to say. I certainly don't think it makes people take more notice of you if you swear all the time |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I actually don't swear all that much in person, and I would never say the word "cunt" around my female friends lol (it's like the worst word you can say in this country). |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
amon: By Our Lady, MAry (as in the mater of jesus) hence: BLOODY MARY |
||||||||
|

|||||||||

I use old and forign swearwords. My fave is, "odsplut" which means dear droppings. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah, cunt is something i'll use to let them know i'm pissed off I'm doing it again! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i very rarely use "f---" and i never use racial slurs. for some reason people get surprised at me when i swear even mildly at school. i dont do it often, so it's understandable. i usually refrain from swearing; lack of swearwords can make someone more approachable imo... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
No, Cunnus was a latin (may have been greek come to think of it...) word, which "Cunt" developed from in Britain after the romans left. |
||||||||

In Holland it's common to swear with including awful diseases in your swear combo's. Like: kankerlijer = (roughly translated->)cancer-patient |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i swear often and profusely |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

is "c***" worse to say than "f***"? |

Comment sent to: http://www.cusscontrol.com "You can fuck right off. I am actually very articulate and I use swearing for emphasis and effect in moderation. Substituting non-swearwords is absurd as you really mean the same thing. For example, saying, "Gosh darn it" actually means "God damn it". You display ignorance of the English language as you seem unaware of the intrinsic use of swearing since the language was formed. Try reading a book or print from the time of the reformation (in England) if you don't believe me. Even priests and scholars used "profane" language regularly. You seem to be a group of individuals who either; wish to make money out of products/services that will only aid the type of sap who believes in the kind of quick fix "self improvement" you peddle or are a group of misguided people who believe they are doing some good in the world. It's entertaining the way that American pilots in Vietnam were allowed to add "tail art" to their planes, but were not allowed nudity or profane language in their designs. The very same planes that were used to kill and maim innocent women and children. If this site is actually a humourous parody, I apologise, when looked at in this light it is very funny indeed. Well done on such convincing site. If, however, this site is genuine, you can, as I have already said, fuck right off. |

Most people would say so... |

CUNT is the only word not allowed to be said on British tV i believe |
||||||||
|
|

in Holland there is (almost) no censorship on Radio or Television. You can say everything you want |

I rarely swear in public, sometimes at home infront of my brother. Once me and an older female friend were walking around the block and this dog came up between us and because I am so afraid of dogs I let out a big "FUCK!!". She couldn't believe I had used that word! She was laughing all the way home :) |

Is it true there's a lot of overly politically correct people in australia? |

From Marlowe: "CUNT is the only word not allowed to be said on British tV i believe" From xlr: "I would never say the word "cunt" around my female friends lol (it's like the worst word you can say in this country)." I still remember that infamous Sex and The City episode where I think they said cunt three times!! I think it was about this guy that painted pictures of, well, cunts! :) Melbourne talk radio went crazy the day after, also the channel that broadcast it here got tonns of complaints! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, the fact that the word CUNT is banned on british tV has been exploited by comedians, who, say, have said it lots and lots in a short amount of time so that the tV viewer just keeps hearing blank-outs hilarious |

Followup to Ceri: "Is it true there's a lot of overly politically correct people in australia?" There probably is. Though there seems to be lots of politically incorrect people! I've never really thought about it. The younger generation is very politically correct when it comes to race, gender etc. But I don't think most of us (young Australians) have much of a problem with cuss words. I hope I am being helpful, and not just typing crap! =D |

I remember once when mark and laird were doing that one afternoon. It culminated in them saying "One day that blanking machine won't work- then we'll be fucked". They actually said "fucked" unblanked as the next song came in. I couldn't believe it, it was about 4.30 in the afternoon! Nothing was ever said of it, I expect they hoped no-one who would complain would listen to such a show. |

is it as bad as it's portrayed in Neighbours ? |

Yep, that's cleared it up, thanks :) |

Now that I think about it, last night was the Logie Awards (Australian TV awards). During a tribute about a TV presentor that died last year the person talking said "fucking", and at the time no one really seemed to care. I should also point out a lot of older people where there. Actually now that I think about it there seems to be lots of politicallt incorrect humour here! This show called The Panel has had some gems :) Though on the overly politically correct people, there was a FLOOD of complaint about Big Brother Uncut a few weeks ago. Some said it boarded on PORN!! There was nothing really, just lots of "rude" bits and people talking about the pleasure's of licking arseholes! Oh, the pleasue of Australian Big Brother =D |

We *all* know the only swear word australians use is 'steuth'! =) |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|

"is it as bad as it's portrayed in Neighbours ?" NO!!! God help us all if it was! If you want a real look at what Australian life is like now just take a look at The Secret Life of Us, I've heard it's popular in the UK. And Home and Away is also like Neighbours, it doesn't even come close! And I'm glad I cleared things up Ceri =D |
