is it funnier to curse than not?

I see nothing funny about cursing.  To me, it is a sign of no class and reflects poorly on the person doing the cursing.

I am soooo offended by this stuff...even in MY OWN HOME!!! My husband can't even say a single sentence without inserting at least 3-4 curse words sometimes!!! That is just ridiculous in my book. It's always, "Pass the Da*n potatoes", or "that supper was Fu**in fine, Baby!" I mean REALLY!!! We have kids and it's gotten way out of hand. \n\nThey think that because Daddy does it that it's OK for them to do it, they're 12 and 15. They've tried cursing at ME...that didn't go over very well or last very long!!! If he wants to talk that way at work around his buddys that's his business. BTW, it's against company policy. But, keep it there!!! He doesn't talk that way in front of HIS MOTHER!!! I am embarrassed to be around him in public these days! I think most people do it just to fit in. But, it really just makes them sound dumb. If you want to express yourself, there are plenty of words in the dictionary. The only word that I've been able to stop him from saying so much is GD. I make him put money in the 'Vacation Jar" every time and make hime say he's sorry to the whole family. \n\nAs for hearing it in public...I am most offended when I hear children cursing. I just makes me so sad. They just sound so...well...stupid... uneducated...what ever you want to call it. It just sounds bad. It's disrespectful, I don't care what anyone else thinks. Disrespectful to the people hearing it and to the people doing it. The sad part is, the people doing it don't even know how bad they sound. They actually think it makes them look better. Go figure.

Without a doubt the F bomb. Naturally one needs to watch where you drop it. I use it more for my own personal enjoyment at times when a good expletive is needed, such as dropping the cast iron frying pan on your toe, or yelling with the window up to some dufass driver. It is just such a descriptive word and one nearly everyone understands.

Not so much anymore (now that I'm in the Corporate world), but when I was a Sailor...well let's just say the old cliche "swears like a drunken Sailor" definitely rings true.\n\nTo me, they don't really seem that big a deal...probably due to over-exposure, but they're really just words that add emphasis to conversation.  For example, if I were relating a story about a big mountain lion I saw, which of these statements better conveys the size of the beast:\n\n"That was a really big mountain lion!"\n\n"That was the biggest fuc%ing mountain lion I've ever seen!"\n\nSee...adds emphasis huh?

Robert said it the most accurately, to my knowledge:\n"It used to be but it has become more accepted in the last few years. Some older people I class myself in this group) still find it dis-tasteful."\nI do say bloody and bloody hell for emphasis, though admittedly it has no bite, though a woman of about 60 that I know has flat told me not to curse when I say it.\nIt goes back, I think, past the old childhood game, "Bloody Mary."\nBut with my age group, all sorts of swears have not real bite like they did at one time. I can tell someone my age (a mate) to F--off and it is taken as a joke.  So now we are working on variations as are others\nFark off--Douglas Adams, Hitchhiker's guide\nFeck off-- who knows but sounds better in  mixed company.\nAnd to think, bugger off was at one time a horrible thing to say!\nSo my take, use Bloody Hell with some discrimination to preserve the unique qualities of British Curseword English...\nAnd if you don't agree with me, you can floggle off, Bloody, Blasted W@nker!\n[Being creative can be soo draining].

an explitive does not necessarily make the word a curse word. it is if they are used in any way bearing false wittness about someone or thing. if someone is actualy being a real witch with a b to you. then is is not necessarily cursing, to use this. because it is true in your eyes at least. but if you accuse some son to be having sexual relations with his mother, unless it is actualy verifiable as true, then you are bearing false wittness. and therefore it is cursing, also known as witchraft. does your statement violate any command of G-D, determines wheather the word is used in a cursing way. chastizing anyone with a lie is considered cursing according to G-D. will people go to gehenna(trash dump) for this. well the fact they do this, is evidence they are already in a mental trash dump. so what this world calls cursing, may not necessarily be seen as cursing by G-D. but lying in any way not true to G-D, to any one is considered cursing. no matter how nice of a overly compliment it may seem to you, could be cursing.

Many commonly used swear words have deviated from their original meaning in the mind the of speaker.\n\nPeace!

In a broader sense, 'curse' is a loose synonym for blasphemy or profanity (i.e. a "curse word.") The curse is also another term for the original sin of Adam and Eve.

no, insults do not make any situation better...if a person ticks someone off by calling them names, insulting their way of life and way of thinking, the person being insulted will ignore his insulter AFTER cursing him out.  Insulter at some point in time MAY figure out that he or she didn't accomplish anything with insults...

They have something called "slang." Such as pwned for owned which means to defeat an enemy easily. And "lol" for laugh out loud. Is this what you wanted?

Funny, but not funny. If you know what I mean.

My husband likes to curse.  I tell him it makes him look immature and undignified.  I personally think that's why he does it, because it irritates me.  I only get really mad when he says something and my 2-year old repeats it!

Sure, why not?  It's entertaining, and often (but not always) less offensive than a lot of what's out there.  As long as you're feeding your mind, what's the harm?

Yeah, but if they cant take a joke f*** them!

it depends on the cleverness and wit of the snarky comment, i enjoy the banter with someone with intelligence who doesn't take it or themselves so seriously. most people that take it to it's most base level i just ignore, but not all.

In my opinion, cussing only plays a part in who will listen to these songs.  Like myself for example.  I dislike swearing in songs.  It's not necessary.  So I don't listen to songs with swearing.  Other people may not care so they listen to it.  Hope I helped you!
