Someone is trying to say something explicit or trying to say a curse word and doesn't want to offend anyone so they will say, " dog *****." Don't have to blatently curse that way.

Because bad language is not considered proper.  Would you swear when talking to your parents, teachers, or at work to you boss or customers?

If you use profanity enough, it starts to become a habit, and they just slip without you even meaning to say so - I know because I occasionally finding myself cursing in rather inappropriate situations.\n\nAlthough I'm not a fan of overused profanity, it can sometimes be a very good way of expressing a tremendous amount of anger in a clear, succinct way that doesn't involve either going off on a 20-minute-rant or throwing anything.

It is not a very good word, and there is no direct translation. It is something like f**k or s**t, and usually used when you drop something or do something wrong.

Usually when people write f**** you,  they would be using a coarse slang. They would use it as an intensive to express annoyance etc.

Might wanna try growing up. Show me anywhere in the bible where it says that SH*T is a bad word. It says don't curse. To damn something is to curse it. People think that some guy invents a word and because it is vulger TO THEIR STANDARDS that it must be a sin. \n\nDude, if you think that F**K and SH*T and CO*K and PU$$Y are sins, go to college and getr educated and if you've already been to college try going to one that isn't walking hand in hand with the lord.

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.

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...!

I view cussing as completely offensive. It gets under my skin when I am out with my kids and someone feels free to let the garbage shoot open clearly in earshot of the kids. It is inexcusable. \n\nI think for a lot of people it gives them a sense of power, especially if they are not mature adults yet.\n\nFor others I think it is a very bad habit. Worse than smoking or biting your nails, it is in a class all itself.\n\nI don't care how much I like someone otherwise, I will not spend time with them if they are habitual "garbage shooters". \n\nYa think I have strong feelings on this one? Your right!\n\nAND I once again point straight to the parents for being the example on this one.( Even if it is simply allowing their kids to be friends with who ever they want). It isn't just about being an example, it is also monitoring who your children spend their time with.\n\nWhew! \nP.S. I don't voice my opinion to others in person. No point. I don't like it but I deal with it in my own way.
