Oh I don't know. I'd say we have kept it to a minimum. I think our threshold is just pretty damn high.

Oh I wasn't complaining. Just laughing at the steady rise in cursing we've seen lately. :lol:

P.s. Doesn't really look like the little guy's laughing does it? Gets the point across though.

For some of the groups I hang out in, we have a decidedly low curse rate.

Yea, we're civilized men(and women). We know better than to curse, that fixes nothing.

Killing the other buggers solves the problem. :evil:

I think the cussin' is fine, just as long as we don't attract one of those people that screams for attention by swearing every other word :)

LOL :) If I hate everyone, how can that be discrimination? :wink:

Damn, I just realized that we need a "crazy" or "psyhco" smiley here. It would have fit perfectly at the end of my last sentence :)

I agree. There was a phase when every other word I heard, from myself or people I was talking to, was some variation of "Fuck." And half the other words were some other curse word.

And that's barely midweight cursing.

You only attain to mastery when literally every word is profanity, and you're still intelligible.
You aren't thinking or really existing unless you're willing to risk even your own sanity in the judgment of your existence.

Perhaps one of the most interesting words in the English language today is the word 'fuck'. Out of all the English words that begin with the letter F, 'fuck' is the only word that is referred to as "the f word". It's the one magical word. Just by its sound can describe pain, pleasure, hate and love. 'Fuck', as most words in the English language, is derived from German. The word fleichen which means to strike.

In English, 'fuck' falls into many grammatical categories:

As a transitive verb for instance: "John fucked Shirley".
As an intransitive verb: "Shirley fucks".
It's meaning's not always sexual:
It can be used as an adjective, such as "John's doing all the fucking work".
As part of an adverb: "Shirley talks too fucking much".
As an adverb enhancing an adjective: "Shirley is fucking beautiful".
As a noun: "I don't give a fuck".
As part of a word: "Absofuckinglutely", or: "Infuckingcredible", and, as almost every word in the sentence: "Fuck the fucking fuckers".
As you must realise, there aren't too many words with the versatility of 'fuck'. As in these examples describing situations such as:
Fraud: "I got fucked at the used car lot".
Dismay: "Aww fuck it!"
Trouble: "I guess I'm really fucked now".
Aggression: "Don't fuck with me buddy!"
Difficulty: "I don't understand this fucking question".
Inquiry: "Who the fuck was that?"
Dissatisfaction: "I don't like what the fuck is going on here".
Incompetence: "He's a fuck off".
Dismissal: "Why don't you go outside and play hide and go fuck yourself?"

I'm sure you can think of many more examples. With all of of these multi-purpose applications, how can anyone be offended when you use the word? We say, use this unique flexible word more often in your daily speech. It will identify the quality of your character immediately. Say it loudly and proudly: "FUCK YOU!"

I believe it's originally written by Monty Python.
