I Pit people who can't bring themselves to swear in SDMB threads

My mother never swore. Like, never. Then came the day she was in terrible pain from muscles spasming in her back and she yelled out – the more innocent may want to cover their eyes –

Father Uncle Cousin Kate!

Anyone else ever run into that one?

No, although there is a wine named “If you see Kay.”

As to mothers, the brothers Berryman have already discussed A Chat With Your Mother.

Homer: If you’re happy and you know it, say a swear!
Nelson: Boobs!
Milhouse: Hiney!
Ralph: Mitten!

The printed word can be more vivid than the spoken word. And I see no problem with being polite.

I accuse the OP of over-sensitivity of the bizarre kind.

WHAAAAAAAT? I call bullshit on that.

At least as far as the SDMB goes, posters who use “G-d” do it to reflect their agnostic nature and refusal to give the title any credence. Or they’re hipsters doing it to be ironic.

Fuck G-d and all who believe an on-purpose misspell gives them righteousness.

Admittedly, I type FSM because I’ve always had trouble with typing “spaghetti”. (I prefer angel hair.) And I doubt I’ve offended His holy tentacles by abbreviating.

Actually my friend’s mom’s cousin’s podiatrist was at the hospital when he was born, and G-d is his name, and it’s pronounced G’dashed.

There’s actually no rule against it, as long as people don’t go overboard. An occasional fuck or shit may not be out of line, while cursing like a drunken sailor in an inappropriate thread may be.

Thank fucking G-d for that.

I consider it polite, not righteous.
Righteous means a different thing to Jews. Oscar Schindler was a righteous Gentile.

I too prefer angel hair pasta, although my Grandmother fed me vermicelli.

For the record, I don’t think using a dash or hyphen makes me righteous. I don’t know that I am righteous. Such things are very difficult to self judge. All I know is, I try real hard not be a jerk or spoil Game Of Thrones.

Is that the worm or the spaghetti?
