Profanity Useage

[royalfan5]

On a regular level how much profanity do you use on a regular basis? I tend to use quite a bit, and much like former NU Coach Danny Nee combination profanity is my favorite. I don't swear at work or in front of one set of Grandparents, but other than that, it's quite frequent. How about the rest of you.

[StuIsTheMan]

I talk like a Trucker, at least that is what my old lady thinks:pop:

[GrapevineSooner]

I've curbed it down quite a bit at work lately.

Though, dealing with the idiot I've had to deal with today has caused me to want to go off on a string of four letter words at least 20 times today. In part because just about every user I've talked to acts like they just turned a computer on and just started using it today.

:mad:

[olevetonahill]

Depends on how ****ing ****ed off at some ****er I am .

[OUDoc]

A lot more since I became a doctor. You people are ****ing nuts.

:)

[sooner_born_1960]

I make Richard Pryor blush.

[StuIsTheMan]

Depends on how ****ing ****ed off at Biznatcho I am, after peeing on my ****ing floor again .

Low Extreme: With baby nieces/nephews/cousins: 1/400 words

[Frozen Sooner]

All the time. I try to stay away from the "c" word, but everything else? Yeah.

Ahhh Yes.... the word that puts me in the doghouse with the wife the most.

[Chuck Bao]

Never. The worstest Thai word is monitor lizard. I never say that word.

[Newbomb Turk]

Norm: 1/25 words.

why do you hate Norm?

:norm:

[r5TPsooner]

She love lizard long time.

[StoopTroup]

What kind of stupid ****ing question is that to ask in a ****ing internet forum? ;)

[Pricetag]

It's because your brain has an automatic cut off that keeps you from cussing in front of your grandparents.

I never cuss at work, and am shocked when I hear a co-worker or client do it. Extremely unprofessional, IMO.

About the only time I cuss now is when I do it on purpose--that is, when I'm so fired up that I actually select the word as the most appropriate way to express my feelings. In younger years, they were so ingrained in my vocabulary that I used them often without thinking about them.

One thing I'm trying to work on is getting GD out of my vocabulary altogether. It's my favorite thing to say when I really lose it. The thing is, I don't mean it literally--I have no concept of what it really means. I'm trying to substitute "son of a bitch" instead.

[crawfish]

Hardly ever.

[Veritas]

It's my worst habit and one that I can't break. Probably because I've been doing it since I was a little kid. I got my mouth washed out with soap for saying "dang," so bad parenting isn't to blame.

Seriously. I wish there was a patch for cursing.

[IB4OU2]

Seriously. I wish there was a patch for cursing.

There is, just apply to a closed mouth using duct tape.

[1stTimeCaller]

I use GD way too much. It was a common phrase used around my house growing up. It was usually followed with my name, my mom's name or my brother's name.

I use the F word way too much. Being in the military, then construction and now the oil patch, it's a hard word to not use.

[Frozen Sooner]

You know, GD is something I rarely say. I'll drop F bombs like crazy, but I'll almost never say GD. I'll generally say God Bless in its place. Just a habit I picked up in college when I was dating a girl that would get really offended by GD.

[Scott D]

Seriously. I wish there was a patch for cursing.

there is, but like most Microsoft products it's already been hacked.

[JohnnyMack]

I've been told by my wife to stop singing "Uncle ****er" to my son.

[IB4OU2]

Living close to LOSUrville I say ***king Idiot alot.

[StuIsTheMan]

Cornhole:confused:

[M]

It usually comes and goes in waves. I won't cuss much for a few months, then a few months later I'll be cussing in full force. It's like my cussing is bipolar. Or kind of like a sine wave. Or something. Ok, I'll stop being a f*cking nerd now.

[Sooner Born Sooner Bred]

I never uttered an expletive until VK worked for me. I'm sure M can attest that she's a bad influence. ;)

I just don't get that. I don't know why GD is so offensive, even if you ARE religious. I mean, for instance, I can understand getting really offended about a "Jesus *****-****ing Christ" or maybe the c and t words. But GD? It just doesn't seem like that one's nearly as far into the realms of offensive as a whole lot of other things youcould say.

Agree with Pricetag. I pretty much never curse unless I specifically intend to. Which isn't frequent, but not all that infrequent either.

I had a pastor when I was younger that had the theory that GD was okay because it was essentially a prayer.

[sanantoniosooner]

I seriously don't at all.

On this site I actually type out "*" for a word that I don't use because I know everyone will figure it out.

You're welcome to throw stones if you think that makes me some kind of hypocrite. ;)

[SoonerStormchaser]

I was a good boy til I got involved with the flying crowd...

There's a commandment about it, so I figure no matter what form you use, it's pretty bad. I also contend, however, that if it wasn't a commandment, we wouldn't use it. I mean, how much sense does it take to turn someone's name into a curse word?

And a hypocrite.

So, in essence you're saying; "Please, God, condemn mine enemies and that jar of jelly that I can't open to hell"?

[royalfan5]

exactly.

[Paperclip]

So, does hubler say "Joseph H. Smith" when he's really upset?

[royalfan5]

or Brigham Young when he is mildly upset.

[TUSooner]

Way more than I should. :( But I do it deliberately and carefully when I'm really mad, or maybe when I'm just frustrated, if nobody can hear me.

I hate the fact that MF and so many other obscentites are so common these days. They are used a fillers and they disgust and offend for no good reason. Nothing says "I'm a stupid, ignorant piece of ****ing **** like saying ****ing or mother-****ing after every other ****ing word.

And while I use an all-too occasional vulgarity, I tend to avoid blasphemy; if I say "God" or "Jesus" or "Christ" it's most likely NOT in anger or frustration. If something is ****ty, then say ****. No need to bring the Lord into it.

[Stoop Dawg]

So, in essence you're saying; "Please, God, condemn mine enemies and that jar of jelly that I can't open to hell"?

Right on.

In addition to the fact that it's simply bad form to damn someone to hell, I read that the early church didn't like for people to "pray" directly to God (I guess some religions still don't). So it's really a double sin: praying directly to God without a priest and wishing that someone would be "damned", all in one fell swoop. It's to be voided, for sure.

[Pricetag]

Xenu dammit!

[DrRube]

A lot more since I became a doctor. You people are ****ing nuts.

True.

If I cross the profanity line at work, the staff knows they needs to hustle.

[OCUDad]

*** ****it, how may times do I have to tell you ****ers that it’s “usage,” not “useage,” you silly-*** *******s?

[Paperclip]

*** ****it, how may times do I have to tell you ****ers that it’s “usage,” not “useage,” you silly-*** *******s?

You touch your wife with those fingers?

[OCUDad]

You touch your wife with those fingers?:( No... she's Jewish and doesn't believe in any form of physical contact after marriage.

[BudSooner]

Not enough.

[Chuck Bao]

I never use GD, EVAR. Maybe, it's religious or being supersitious. But, the thought of damning someone or something to hell for eternity seems like a too serious of a curse for like everyday swearing.

On the other hand, colorful languages are great. I remember that my first words I learned in Cantonese were **** your mother - Diew Nei Lo Mah. I asked my work colleagues what this meant and got a very rude response.

I always think that the flip side of cursing is giving thanks. Without that, it is just a bunch of funny words. Those that pray, aren't likely to swear to their god.

I don't evoke the gods in my curses, but I do say a silent prayer of thanks everyday when I return home safely.

[soonerboomer93]

True.

I thought the ladies didn't like it if your staff was in too much of a hustle...

[soonerboomer93]

i cuss alot when i'm drinking

i don't really worry about it any place but work (or family)

the f bomb is banned here though...

[tulsaoilerfan]

I cuss a whole ****ing lot when watching the ****ty mother****ing Cubs choke away another ****ing victory; otherwise, i try not to that much but it occasionally slips out.

[tulsaoilerfan]

I still haven't gotten over 84, 89, and 2003 obviously. :)

[Rogue]

There's just no adequate substitute for so many "cuss words."

One of my former instructors, a psychologist, told me that he makes it a point to drop the f-bomb in the first 5 minutes of meeting a new patient thereby giving them permission to use whatever language they choose.

I know some of the more uptight folks wouldn't go see him again if he did that. I have no kids in my daily life, work with the mentally ill every day, and cussing is a normal part or discourse. I remember a couple years ago one of our docs was tired of being verbally abused and wanted to write a policy forbidding patients (veterans) from cussing. I laughed and explained the difference between saying a bad word and verbally abusing an employee. It'd be like forbidding the wind from blowing on Tuesdays between noon and 3 PM.

[critical_phil]

is there any way you can post the chinese words for ********* (as in bag of ******) and **** (as in **** ant)?

that'd make my life easier. kthnx.


and i rarely curse except on this board. if i do, it's usually for a good reason.

[sanantoniosooner]

for a lot of people there is no adequate substitue for "uhhh"

[FirstandGoal]

After reading this thread I realize that I don't cuss nearly as much as some of you and a lot more than others. Like SAS, I usually only cuss on purpose and for great effect [my kids can relate to this], but most of the time, I keep it low profile because I like having a large vocabulary. Getting stuck in a routine of using the same words in a given situation is boring.

[sanantoniosooner]

I think you misread my post ****er;)

[olevetonahill]

Yeah, I'm a pretty eloquent mother****er, too.
