people who are adicted to four letter words [Archive]

Why do so many have to use a four letter word to express themselves?

It's like an epidemic ,and I think it starts with what the kids hear in movies and read etc. when they are very young. Like eating a certain food when you're that age so you grow up to like it and think of it as part of your life in general. If that same person tried to eat that food later on in life he/she might very well have a negative response to it. Some grow up thinking that's just part of everyday talk because their parents speak that kind of classless jabber all day.

once in awhile I say a f**k -type word, but I'm not going to make it a part of my regular vocabulary every day.

It's especially poisonous when any form of media says those words in every fouth sentence that's spoken.

The producers seem to think that belching out foul words all the time is going to sell more tickets. It's as though they are taking advantage of our society's slovenly tastes. I like to say they insult us, but too many seem to think the flavor of slop tastes good.

I think the problem came in when people decided to give certain words power over other words. It's absurd that 'fuck' be considered completely bad, but 'anus' can be used on TV.

Just who decided that 'those seven words' (thank you George Carlin) were really bad as compared to the thousands of others in the English language?

Words in and of themselves have no value good or bad, they are given a symbolic meaning by the person(s) who hear(s) them. Sometimes symbols are used to represent those words.

So we see things in newspapers like 'F**k' and the meaning still comes across, but those two letters that complete the word are absent. If the word is objectionable because of what it means, then how is replacing two letters with asterisks any better? The meaning was still conveyed, the objectionable message was still there. If I type 'Fuck you' or 'F**k you' to someone, I'm telling them exactly the same thing. But one is better than the other? Seems silly.

Perhaps it's time to start removing the 'power' of certain words.

I'm actually gonna attempt to answer this seriously. . .

For me, "4-letter" words provide a form of stress relief. Also, I didn't start using them until 7th grade, when I started hanging around with my still-friend-for-life, Mike. He's since stopped using them, but I haven't.

Yeah, I'm one of those people who can sound like Jay.

However, I *have* learned where and when swearing is absolutely not appropriate. For instance, it is not appropriate when talking to teachers. It is also not appropriate when at a family gathering. It is, in general, not appropriate outside of conversation with friends, though it *is* acceptable when one is under extreme duress.

I don't see anything wrong with swearing, but I do recognize that others don't like it. To be honest, I don't understand it. Curses like "God!" and "Jesus!" and "Christ" seem worse to me, yet those are considered to be marginally more acceptable than, for example, "fuck!"

I do deplore those who speak to their children that way. Way to raise a kid who knows what's socially acceptable.

kabbes

To be honest, once you start using the words "fuck" and "cunt" (and milder so-called expletives) in everyday language with their proper meanings as opposed to as insults you'll find that the whole power, inappropriateness and context usually applied to them just drops away. Before you know it you have to make yourself not use them when you do actually want to refer to the sexual act or a woman's genitalia in company that would not appreciate the use of the words.

This is because there is nothing inherently bad about fucking or a cunt. Quite the reverse in fact. Use them with their correct meaning and they are no different to the words "sex" and "muff".

There are other words that are simply unpleasant however, because the meaning they convey is unpleasant. These are the truly inappropriate words. And they rarely have just four letters.

Oh, c'mon people; we all know that the only reason to not swear around children is because it's so danged funny when they hear it accidentally and start saying it themselves before they know what it means.

(This thread reminds me of the Friends episode that was on last night, where they were trying to take all Chandler's swear words off of Ms. Pacman, and Ben walked in just when Phoebe was swearing a blue streak because she just lost the game. Hee.)

featherlou:

As a little kid, my cousin had such an unusual aversion to swear words that we used to offer her money just to say 'hell' or 'damn'. Unlike most little kids who repeat everything they hear at least once, she would pick words (not always swear words) that were 'bad' and refuse to say them.

For months she wouldn't say 'pickle' because she thought it was a vile, evil word. She liked to eat 'dill cucumber'.

Well, I...um...sorry, this is hard for me. for me it started at a party in Junior High. I was looking for my friend and I came across a room where a bunch of guys were sitting around saying "Damn." I tried it and didn't really get much out of it.

A couple years later I dated this girl who said Damn on the weekends. Every now and then I'd say it with her, and I eventually got to liking it. I figured it was no big deal, I didn't NEED it, I was just doing it to relax. But I started saying it more often, and sometimes I'd say it on weeknights.

When we broke up it only got worse. I started saying "shit" and "crap". When I got to college I'd sometimes miss class because I was too busy cussing. But I still thought it wasn't a problem.

Some friends of mine even tried to talk to me about it. There were times I'd been on the phone with them and they knew I'd been cussing. I remember one time I went home for the weekend and walked around my PARENTS cussing under my breath. Luckily they didn't hear me.

It was in college that I finally tried "fuck". I had always told myself that I'd draw the line there, that if I ever said that one, I'd quit them all. But it felt so good. And at first, it didn't seem like a big deal. And hell, by that time, EVERYONE was saying "damn", even on TV, so I figured it was becoming more acceptible.

I was out of college and working when it all came crashing down. I'd disappear from the office at odd times so I could go home and say "fuck" a few times. Sometimes I even said it at work, with the door closed. My boss nearly caught me, but I lied and told him I'd said "flip". That was close. I thought I was doing fine.

And then...one rainy night, I was driving home. I had had a rough day at the office and I was actually cursing in the car. If you'd rolled down my window you would have gotten an earful of various expletives. The police said that as they dragged me out of the wreckage, I was still cursing up a storm.

I went into a program after that, to dry myself out. Cold turkey. You couldn't even say "hell" without raising a ruckus. I learned how to properly express myself. I realized that there was no such thing as a "good" curse word. I realized the lies the media was selling people, that it was okay to say things like "damn" and "crap".

I'm a lot better now. I find myself WANTING to say "fuck" and "shit" all the time, but so far I've been able to avoid it. Every day's a struggle, though.

'Better get a grip on yourself,

OH My God I had almost forgotten Skyhook until you mentioned them. I saw them about 1973 at Cincinnati Gardens---a place with probably the worst accoustics ever. They opened for Traffic. This concert holds a place in my memory as The Worst Concert Ever. The sound system was just awful and there could not have been a more incompatable pairing.

The crowd was just not ready for pre-KISS men in make up and theatrical garb. I think their big hit at the time was "Ego is not a dirty word". The crowd was restless and angry that day my friend and they were definitely NOT loving Skyhook.

Traffic ended up doing just 3 or 4 songs before storming off the stage due to the aforementioned sound system problem. I think Riverfront Colluseum opened just about this same time, so not too many concerts took place at the Gardens after this.

Ahh memories!

Why Do Porn Actors Have to Use Such Foul Language?

Like many people, I enjoy pornographic movies. But I've got a major bone to pick with the actors. It's gotten to the point where you can't watch a porno without being inundated by swearing. I can't tell you how many times I've tried to enjoy a hardcore sex scene, only to have it ruined by the participants screaming, "F– my p–" and, "Oh, yeah, suck my big, hard you-know-what, baby." Is it really necessary to resort to such foul language?

I love this thread. Please don’t get frustrated and leave, deeward. It may be unintentional, but your threads have to be among the funniest in recent memory.

And now the weather ...

Thanks Bob, well it looks a lovely weekend ahead with a 75% chance of an Englerbert Humperdink reference. But we have to be on the lookout for what could be a nasty spell of selfrightiousness. With any luck, it'll be prime weather for beating that dead horse of yours.

Back to you, Walter ...

Think about it:- what kind of a society is it when a lady can't object to nasty language without being called unrealistic or self-rightious?
Go back and read your posts. When you say things such as "I'm at war against society", that's not "objecting to nasty language".

Stop deluding yourself, darling.

Deeward,

If you were here right now, I'd hug you. I love quixotic people. Keep up the good fight, dear. Never lose hope. Keep blushing when a man drops an inadvertent cuss word. Tsk disapprovingly when a woman calls them "teats" or "boobs" instead of "breasts" or "bosom." Keep calling 'em "toots" instead of "farts." Never refer to the nether reqions with words other than "there" or "those."

It's a hard, long, um, make that difficult and lengthy swim upstream, but hang in there. Good luck.

Ain't naivete cute?

I'm addicted to the word 'wang'. Mainly because mine is godly.

Bow to my godly wang!

Would that be why you started this thread (http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=111897), Derleth? :D

I don't get it. What did I say wrong?

As I just told you, I don't consider myself a snob at all. I 'm just like millions of other women who have standards above foul language. I have plenty of company.

Why are you guys picking on me?

Quit dividing this post or maybe I should say board into some majority and me. I'm just another person here.

Can't you keep a stright face once in a while?

I thought my question was a good one.

Quit beating me over the head and using me for a dart board.

I'm just another person here. I can't understand why there's been such lack of understanding.

Usually, if you care about the truth you can find it. There's more to a story or statement than appears. Why can't we look beneath the surface.

And , please;..quit putting tags on me.

You guys having fun?

Call me Dee. I'm a cookie making mother.

We really need to come up with an International Standard unit of measurement for the purpose of quantifying "fun". The candy makers have already tried with their "fun" size candy bars, but the diminutive stature of said bars lead me to believe that the fun involved in that case is an increased profit margin for the candy makers.

If getting boiled in shit while being forced to listen to Fran Drescher sing opera through Dolby Digital surround-sound speakers represented the extreme negative end of the fun scale, while total gibbering orgasmic ecstasy and delight represents the extreme positive end of the fun scale, I would say that the amount of fun I'm having reading this thread is definitely a few notches above the median.

Dee, darls, you whinge incessantly about Not Being Understood, but geez, you DO make it difficult sometimes.

Maybe you should get away from the cookie dough occasionally to get out into the big, wide world. You might find that it's not all gloom and doom like you believe.
And you might find that it's an OK place, and not really at war with you at all.

But then again, its very hard to see the world when your head is stuck up your arse!

Deeward - you do realize that not all the people teasing you are men, right? And furthermore, that not all women are on your side? You seem to think that the rest of us womenfolk will crawl out of the woodwork, cry "Fiddlesticks! Those men are using their 4-letter words again!", and rush to your rescue.

Also, you do realize that there is not a giant cosmic fence with a sleazy side and a wholesome side, right? And swearing does not make you a bad person, right?

Sigh. Nevermind.

In your other thread, I posted this:

The problem isn't Englebert, no, no, it's you!

Strike out Englebert, put in swearing, and it's still oddly true.
