Noticed not many people use curse words.
So… why the fuck not?
I’ve been accused of vulgarity. I say that’s bullshit. – Mel Brooks
This is the internet. You can say “fuck”
What the fuck do you care cunt?
Swearing is one of the most immoral atrocities. Parents who swear in front of their children should have their guardian status taken away, and the State military should take care of them to teach them morality. Overall, swearing should be illegal and punished with death penalty, including swearing on the Internet.
I’m going to have to assume you meant to add something like “/s” because it sounds fucked up without that…
genuinely cant tell if joke or serious.
Fuck knows, fuck you, and merry fucking Christmas.
In seriousness though: no idea. It’s nice though, not every sentence needs an f-bomb or a c-nuke. They’re just helpful and/or satisfying sometimes.
What about a w-bomb?
Literally loses it’s meaning and usefulness when overused as well
Just like literally!
L*******y, or the L-word.
I try to ease up on the c word when I think I might be replying to an American because I’m aware it has pretty hideous connotations over there.
I’m an American and I throw cunt out often enough. I’m from Jersey though and we curse a bunch, and I also was in the Marines, where we cursed a lot. It’s where I picked up the phrase cunt hair, as in the unit of measurement.
Ah, Finnish army also has (or at least had) that unit of measurement, “pillukarva”, literally pussy hair.
Is karva related to the Polish kurwa? I’m American and you guys are close to each other in my uneducated estimation, and so I feel like there’s gotta be something there right? And oldest profession is an old word.
Merry Christmas, and thanks for the new word.
It sounds similar, but karva is hair. Finnish and Polish are pretty far apart as far as European languages go. Merry Christmas!
I doubt. Karva is just any hair, except hair on head (facial hair is still karva though it has also specific words too).
Animal hair can also be karva, but only when it’s “fallen off” such as dog or cat hair sticking your clothes
American here. I try to remember that other folks outside the US don’t have the same negative association we do with that word. It certainly helps ease the stigma I have for it when it’s said in good fun in a conversation. I still can’t bring myself to say it or write it often though.
You can bet your fanny that we have a stronger connotation for that word here.
there’s a subset of women here that go absolutely berserk if you call them a cunt in certain contexts. besides them though, its just another curse word here. use it as you please. pretty fun to say sometimes. and if you say it with an aussie accent, you have a free pass to say it whenever you want
They’re all cunts anyway
Am American. Can confirm. Tons of cunts here.
Oi!
Just use ankle for Americans, it’s less offensive to them and most of them are about three feet lower than a cunt anyways.
You’re a cancer on society. JK I love the word cunt, but yeah some Americans are just as sensitive about a word as they are a titty
the c word
communism?
This is lemmy so capitalism
$&@! it.
for myself I try not to cuss out other people but if I see someome doing something
eggregiousegregious or I do something stupid then I’ll swear at them or myselfotherwise I try not to swear too much
ymmvhope everyone has a fucking fantastic holiday tho!🤗
It’s spelled egregious you stupid fucker
/j Merry fucking Christmas
thank you for the correction and merry fucking Christmas to you too!🎄😆
Consensus? You’re asking the fediverse for a consensus?
Yeah, no idea what OP expected.
My two cents is that swearing with people you don’t know might lead to misunderstandings, so probably it would be best to keep that shit to a minimum.
Sometimes you feel like a fucking cunt. Sometimes you don’t.
Because I can get my fucking point across without them
Fuck off.
Fuck on!
Like Mr Miyagi said.
“fuck off, fuck on, fuck off! The fucker!”
Swearing is unimaginative and dull.
It’s literally just words. If it’s all someone uses, sure, it can be unimaginative and dull. But the implication in your blanket statement often then extends to the person which I would say is then wrong.
You’re unimaginative and dull… umm… bitch!

Meh, I save my swears for special occasions, for when I want to make it clear shit is real.
Otherwise metaphors more plum than the violets of Persia do me fine. (That’s actually a simile.)
