Why do some Pits use Fuck every other word?

The BBQ Pit

(I prefer the term Pit to pitizen, which sounds too formal, like a word only a GD-izen would use. Pit seems to suit the mood here.)

Why do some Pits use Fuck every other word?

I have some theories:

  • They didn’t know it was allowed, and are trying to shock.
  • They did know, and are trying this out for the first time anywhere in their lives. (“Checking their Wow Power” as Ann Landers describes it.)
  • They ran out of things to say and hope no one will notice.
  • They aren’t getting any and it is a cry for help.
  • They have a stuck key on the keyboard, the one they mapped to the fuck macro.

Discarded theories:

  • They hope to be considered sailors. This can’t be true because everybody knows sailors are not so stupid. They have better swear words and phrases.
  • They saw too many David Mamet plays or movies. This can’t be true, because he limits fucks to 4 per sentence, and twelve per actual injury, such as a papercut. The Pits I’m talking about use fuck much more frequently.

Anyone else have a guess?

Fuck you. I sure as fuck have no fucking idea.

I use it only when angry, it gets the point across like nothing else can. If I use it more than once, then be glad I don’t have ChiefScotts job, because I would be pushing buttons.

Ayesha,

I miss Wally

Blanchard, you have formulated an awful lot of theories about Pit posts for someone so new to the SDMB. Have you been lurking for a while?

Actually, it’s a secret code. Regulars pass messages to the Administrators to discuss who the Secret Cabal is going to ban this time around.

For example: “I can’t stand this fucking TV show! What goat felcher came up with this idea?” lets others know that I consider casdave tiring in his remarks, and to add one black mark to her tally.

Conversely, “I can’t fucking stand this fucking piece of crap on the TV! What insane ass-sucking fuckhead came up with this idea?” lets other know that FreakFreely has made the horrible mistake of actually bettering me in a Great Debate, and therefore must be hounded until he commits suicide, where upon we will ban him.

Watch carefully, and maybe soon you’ll be able to decipher the code.

Because sometimes a fucker just feels like says fuck for the fuck of it. As in: Corporate America - fuck the fucking fuckers.

8

Yes, Flypsyde brought up a good point. Something I would like to know myself. Mother fucker.

9

Why do we use the word fuck so often? I’ll tell ya. Because we fucking like to, like fucking.

10

Who the fuck cares?

11

I for one certainly prefer excessive profanity to excessive ignorance. I’ve been guilty of the first a few times (here, IRL it’s too many to count), you’re guilty of the second. Of course, inserting the number of “fucks” you deserve would make this read badly, so I left them out. Except this: fuck off and die you pissant motherfucker.

12

In the Pit?

Because it’s a fucking tradition.

13

I curse a lot IRL so why don’t you just stick it up your arse and fuck off while your doing it .

Ok, we did get some new ideas:

  • Don’t know. (mouthbreather)
  • If angry, gets that across. (Ayesha)
  • I like to repeat myself. (Ayesha)
  • [non-answer, lame attempt to change topic] (Flypside)[Is about an hour “lurking a while” to you. Then yes. And no, I wasn’t talking about you personally, so don’t get so defensive.
    Oh, and I do manage to bring opinions on fuck that I’ve discussed before, in actual conversations. I hope that’s all right with you. I guess you don’t get many of those. I suggest Big Red gum.]
  • It’s a secret code. [Clever answer. See, Flypside, not all Pits are the pits.] (John Corrado)
  • Sometimes you just feel like it. (BigJoe)
  • non-answer, lame attempt to hijack to new topic [Sorry, not about you either.]
  • “We” like to. (UncleBeer)[speaking with the Imperial We]
  • Who cares? (ReservoirDog)[Answer: everyone answering before you, and most afterwards.]
  • Beats ignorance (waterj2)
  • Tradition (cher3)
  • I just do. (yojimbo)[Once again, taking it personally. That “your” should be spelled “you’re”. And, to answer the question, because it’s impossible.]

V8, Have I told you that I like you ? No ? Good, I would hate to lie to you.

Now why don’t you go play somewhere else, I’m not in the mood today.

16

Ummmm, excuse my French, but… Are you some kind of yak humping, camel felching, donkey blowing, shit eating troll?

If not, yeah - I often say fuck, and your problem with is?

17

Who is V8, and why are you talking to him, and why is he answering for me?

18

Ayesha, looks like you hit send twice.

19

No shit ? Wow ! :rolleyes: I accidently hit submit twice, it happens.

As for V8, I have no idea what it is, or why it is answering for you.

Maybe an example would help:
