Wondering which board a “fucking” debate should be taken to.

My wife sucks, and I love her for it. How do you fuck off, though? This is probably the best fucking question ever asked in here.
The best way to insult someone is to refer to their sexuality. It just cuts deeper. One of my favorites is the Korean “Your mother has a bald vagina”. Now how could anyone top that?
While vaginal baldness is not inherently insulting or even unfashionable, I would prefer not to “top that” in the case of my mother, fuck you very much.
In trisha’s case, however…how about some Jazzman jism, Jazzmine?
God, I had to laugh. I can say “fuck” all you like, and in fact have what my mother would call a “potty mouth.” But it still turns me into a giggling school girl to say “jism.”
still laughing
and Jazzman?..

I also thought that the “suck” thing came from the “go suck an egg” thing. Anyway, I don’t think that any of them are really sexual in nature when used as insults. They have been around as insults long enough for them to have lost any other meaning they may once have had in that context.
I agree with Carlin. OpalCat, I respectfully disagree with you regarding insults having lost any sexual connotation. I believe they originated in our shame-based ideas about sex. We keep that negativity alive, at least subconsciously, when we use those insults.
It’s not true that the best way to insult someone is to refer to their sexuality. It all depends on where you are. In some cultures, the best way is to make a religious or family reference.
Speaking of Carlin, I gotta relate this true story. A guy I worked with in a restaurant was reciting a line from a Carlin bit. We were by the server window at the end of lunch hour…full restaurant. Dude had a pretty loud voice, but the music in the place was normally loud, too. Unfortunately, the hostess was changing tapes when my friend got to the punchline. Waitresses came running in to the kitchen, angry and/or embarrassed. Every customer in the place had clearly heard my buddy shout:
Rat shit, bat shit,
Dirty smelly twat!
97 assholes
Tied in a knot!
what an excellent fucking flame, juicy and high in protien. So much more nourishing than the usual BBQ fare, fuck you all, brightly, brightly and with beauty,

“The best way to insult someone is to refer to their sexuality.”
I don’t think that’s necessarily so. Male athletes habitually refer to opponents and each other as ‘fags’ as a term of denigration. Not only does it lose any type of meaning after the gazillionth time you hear it, but I hardly think that castigation on the basis of sexual preference is a standard to which any of us need to aspire.
Similarly, the Korean insult referring to the status of pubic hair on one’s mother has nothing to do with the sexuality of the person you care to insult, but that person’s mother.
My brother still insults people with ‘dummy’ or in some cases ‘fucking dummy’ (sorry, TennHippie) and that still gets a laugh out of me.
Personally, I’m in favor of profanity: there’s nothing I hate worse than watching an excellent movie on television and hearing a platoon of marines saying ‘gosh-darn’ and ‘frigging heck’ all over the place.
Profanity for profanity’s sake is meaningless, but it’s an art to be able to express your emotion with an added dose of ribald invective.
I never laughed harder than the day my four-year-old nephew told me, in all candor, that “Shit Happens.”
Shit, I never meant to imply that I don’t like profanity. I fuckin’ love it. But choose your goddamned words wisely. Like I said before, it is the idea that sexuality is inherently insulting that I object to.
