Swearing revisited

[El Pibe]

I get that cunt is bleeped out, and fuck, but I am a bit mystified that twat is considered ruder than, say, shit.

Is it because it's lady part related?

Let's see boobs, hmm ok, bum? bottom....front bottom?

All pass muster.

Any chance of release it from such bondadge?

[Otta]

To ve honest, other than "the C word" which lots of people find offensive, I've always thought the swear filter was a bit silly. We're all grown ups, and if someone constantly used really bad language they can be asked not to.

At the end of the day, when we see fuck off, we all kniw someone has typed f**k off so what really is the point.

[El Pibe]

especially when you can write things like fuckitty or feck

[KalamityKel]

Erm... why would people who are supposedly "grown up" need to use such words anyway? Surely that just demonstrates lack of vocabulary?

[StraferJack]

Shrug. Sigh

[Otta]

I swear sometimes Kel, not because I don't have the vocabulary, but because it's a part of our language and it best gets over how I'm feeling.

[Otta]

As in, it's very rare that I'll say to someone on here "fuck off". But I might be talking about something and say "I just wanted him to fuck off".

Just noticed a swear filter fail. When there's a rude word in the subject, you can see the original word in the reply box...
