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?

For a while yes.  I used to staff on an on-line RPG that had a rule against profanity.  Some people got pretty creative but they did tend to forget that the staff was from all over the world and would catch them eventually.  And there were always the other players to rat them out.

I am a pirate.  Pirates have swords.  So, if I receive a scroll that is glued shut, I use me sword to open it.\n\nR

Sure.  I do it occassionally.\n\nI have also heard religious people say "Holy S**T!" - but I assume that they don't mean it literally.\n\nA

no. "ain't" is not a real word in the English vocabulary. But it is still used. Different places make up and use new words, but they are not proper English.

No, of course not! But I can see how someone could say it with the emphasis on the AS and make it SOUND like a profanity! But that's why you posted your question in the "words and wordplay" category...!

All buccaneers are pirates but not all pirates are buccaneers. The term buccaneer is used to describe only those pirates who operated in the Caribbean..\n\nBuccaneer is a term that was used in the later 17th century in the Caribbean Islands. The term Buccaneer comes from the French word "Boucanier". These Boucaniers originally were hunters who were poaching cattle and pigs. They would smoke the meat on wooden frames, "boucans", so that it could be saved for a later time. The Boucaniers were taught this by the local Arawak tribes from Santo Domingo, calling the method Barbicoa - which is where the word and method of Barbecue originated.\n\nHowever, Islanders soon began to use the term buccaneer as a way to describe pirates in the Caribbean during the 1660s. English settlers occupying Jamaica began to spread the name with the meaning of rebel pirates sailing in the Caribbean ports and seas

An irresistable pirate, who unfortunately was also illiterate, entered the enemy's waters.  His illegal move landed him in jail.  At trial, the judge asked him to sign the court order, but his handwriting was too illegible.\n\nHe spent the rest of his life in jail.\n\nThe end\n\nCopyright, Sunflower, 2006.  :)

The argument form of 'row' is NOT pronounced the same as the form meaning 'to row a boat'.. it is pronounced to rhyme with NOW or COW.

Probably no one knows for sure.  One theory I like is that "okay" derives from the Scottish "auch aye", meaning "ah yes". \n\nHere are a number of links that discuss possible origins.
