View Full Version : Swearing/Cursing Issues
I have a problem.
I dont know whats up with ppl nowadays on the msg board but its driving me nuts that some msg got the fucking filter on so when you type shit like fucking ( even shit! ) it will turn out to be nonsene. I mean what the fuck is the point?
I swear a lot but I dont go to McDonalds and be like " Sup man Id like a mother fucking numer 1 value meal, medium size, no fucking pickles on my burger and more onions on the fucker too. Oh I want ice tea as my fucking drink and yeah Id like some fucking fresh lemon in my mother fucking tea too."
I dont know but those ppl couldnt handle those words just freak me out. I mean you hear that everywhere in general. I dont fucking understand why they think swearing is like a fucking sin.

I know exactly what you're fuckin talkin about. As I said last night in bard chat, all I want in a guild right now is to be able to fuckin scream obscenities in guild chat and not hear a god damn complaint about it.

Yeah some guilds as a whole get fucking freaked out when you said the word shit too. And if you say fuck they will fucking 'warn' you like you just committed a fucking crime. Its so much bullshit. I mean fuck off if you cant handle this shit. When you get on the board or play the game you better be fucking ready for some words you might not wannna hear. if you dont wanna hear it, get the fuck out.

What is so wrong with saying fuck? It's just a word....
If I want to ask for a motherfucking number 1, with fucking pickles, so be it. It will likely end up with spit in it though :(
When I talk to people, I say the word fuck a alot when I get worked up or excited. Hell I say it just because I like the way it rolls off my tongue. Say it with me Fuck Fuckity FUCK FUCK!!
I try not to cuss to much in game though, never know when you will get a warning over it. :(

Swearing is sometimes referred to as 'colorful' speech. And I probably have the most 'colorful' mouth in my guild, especially on raid day ;) . But swearing, like any other form of emphasis, loses its punch if overused, and all I have to say to the folks who like to string out big lines of expletives is *one* four-letter word:
'/yawn...'

This conversation has reminded me of how hard I laugh when people i know that don't typically swear are super pissed off, and try swearing, and totally place the swear words in the wrong spot in the sentence.
Ex 1: Would you answer fucking the phone!?
Ex 2: What is fucking your problem?!1!
Ex 3: Damn, these are fucking some good cheese fries!

Swear words emphasize disrespect. That is why people do not like seeing those words amongst people they want to have respect for.
Not like i'm anyone who cares, i don't really give a shit so long as the swearing is not directly aimed at someone.
wow, get a life.
Wow your fucking ass, get a fucking clue.

Of course, I'm not seeing the green AC 'guild' chat, and I'd have to ask Faervas would know how much of it doesn't make it to the keyboard...
But it's ok, I know things can get really frustrating leading raids. Like, you just want to run around with a sledgehammer breaking stuff, shoot up the house with a shotgun, tackle somebody to the ground while strangling them and simultaneously chewing on their face in a frenzied rage, but those are all healthy, normal things. And besides, our private 'kinky cyber' channel just gets all the more interesting when you start talking dirty to me, Mistress Nydia.

Thormir and I argue about this from time to time.
Profanity is viewed by some as being "ower class/blue collar or as showing a lack of education.
I'm curious as to this being a very long holdout from the Norman occupation of England, when the Anglo-Saxon language (and its profanity) was the realm of the lower class- all the cool upper class people spoke French.
I swear often outside of the workplace. Still, in a professional atmosphere, it is pretty certain you won't get far if you profane to a great degree.
I'm also trying to remember the exact quote by one of Kurt Vonnegut's characters, but he said something like:
" I don't swear because I don't want to give anyone an easy excuse to ignore me."

I'm not sure that the impression of a prolific cusser is any different in other languages besides English. I kind of doubt it can be tied to the Norman invasion in particular.
I agree with those who say that making swearing a substantial part of your daily vocabulary really dilutes the effect of cussing. When I call someone a pig-fucking, sperm burping donkey felcher, I want them to realize I am annoyed at them and not just saying "hello".

It seems to me that swearing is used by different folks for different reasons:
to demonstrate a lack of respect for another;
to anger, or provoke someone;
to hurt someone;
to be part of "the group", much like kids start smoking;
to "rebel", knowing Mom and Dad would disapprove;
to cover up a lack of vocabulary; and,
I am sure there are many other reasons that folks can come up with.
Personally, I swear when I am angry and not taking the time to think about what I am saying. If I am among a group that knows and understands me to some extent, the swearing usually causes little problem; but, when I do so among strangers there is usually a reaction from at least one if not more, that I in most cases would rather have not had to deal with.
It is funny, but most of the kids I see swearing the most are the same "suburban brats" wearing their pants around their knees and trying their best to adopt a Martin Lawrence strut as they listen to their hip-hop pretending they can relate to inner city youth. Ack.....where did that come from?
Holy Shit......
Anyway, as a favorite teacher once said, if you have a large number of words available to you, you seldom need to resort to swearing.

I don't swear much. When I do, it usually has an effect (woah, Cara swore!!) because of this.
I guess what I don't like about swearing is the lack of creativity. I mean.. there are only so many swear words, you know? And there are a ton of other adjectives available in the English language that require more thought.
A person that says for example, fuck, several times in the same sentence albeit used in different ways, seems to be less intelligent and rather boring. After so many of these statements, I tend to zone and must make a conscious effort to follow the conversation.
If I am hiring someone and their language tends to be unprofessional during the interview, you can bet I am not going to choose them for the job. Why? They lack common sense. Most people know that it offends many others when they choose to be a potty mouth. That is not usually how a company wants to be viewed.
However! Talk how you wish outside of the work environment. I could care less. Or in keeping with this thread, I don't give a flyin fuck. ;)

True... I was alluding to the fact that many of our "swear" words might not have been swear words had not that linguistic smackdown taken place.

"Of course, I'm not seeing the green AC 'guild' chat, and I'd have to ask Faervas would know how much of it doesn't make it to the keyboard..."
Rofl! I'm afraid some of it would *melt* the keyboard if it made it from brain to fingers, instead of brain to mouth... Faervas has somehow learned to tolerate my being a foul-mouthed (and tempered) harpy on raid day and we pretty much ignore the strangled noises coming out of each others mouths that don't relate directly to game mechanics when things get stressful (but manage to have our share of laughs too ;) ).
"...tackle somebody to the ground while strangling them and simultaneously chewing on their face in a frenzied rage"
That's a beautiful, beautiful image - you've really captured the essence of idiot related encounter meltdown frustration right there :) .
"And besides, our private 'kinky cyber' channel just gets all the more interesting when you start talking dirty to me, Mistress Nydia."

P.S. Re the 'swearing discussion', if the cursing is imaginative and adds something to the conversation (*and* it's not a totally inappropriate environment, i.e. I have to be careful in the classroom or with my colleagues), I have absolutely nothing against it and can appreciate a spicy rant as well as the next gal. 95%+ of the time though it simply contributes nothing and is a colossal bore...

I used to cuss up storms in guild chat. Yes I'm a retard, so I cuss often. Plus when i get worked up, my brain stops, and of course cussing ensues.
But nydia reminded me of a very funny incident back in highschool. We were sitting in P.O.T. (principles of technology. which we had notebooks, and we labeled them Pot book ;) ) and a friend of mine asked the resident slacker/guy who couldn't give a fuck, what a colorful metaphor was. What made the response so funny, was that they were siting right by the teachers desk while she was sitting there, and Mike(the slacker) nonchalantly replied, "Oh, words like shit and fuck." He got ISS lol. God that asshole was funny.

Guild chat for us is a mix of french swearing, english curses, hungarian explicits, and american slang.
It gets.. interesting. Very.
Especially when I'm grouchy and get in from work. Members are usually treated to a 'Well fucking start MGBing then, for fuck sake.' 'FUCKING ASSIST YOU MOTHER FEOIHFOIEWHF!!11'
Hm. Beginning to understand why I'm never invited in to guild groups :(
LOL its all abt fun.
Theres been times I swore like that too and people would be like Wo Wo Akie. And I would be like yeah today is not the fucking day to piss me off you fucker.
:) Ask ppl from XA. When I was in that guild, I had the most fun in EQ because 90% of the people from XA were like me. ;)

I went to boot camp 1 week after highschool ended and i was 18 at the time but i "joined" when i was 17 had parents permission and had to do 1 year in the delayed entry program, didnt have any real plans after high school and i couldnt afford colledge. Im from a marine family also, brother was in Marines and in Beruit and my father did several tours in Vietnam. Needless to say the "brainwashing" that goes in in bootcamp didnt have any effect on me cause i grew up with a friggen Drill Instructor as a father
ViBeSJoKeR
09-09-2003, 04:14 PM
Hehe ...
Thanks for the little chat ... was kinda interested to see if it was economically based (and it was a little) or just something you wanted to do ... And I bet that having your family it was something more obvious to do then for other people.
So did this help you go to college after you returned from the Marines? Did school become available (as you said you could not afford college after Highschool)?
Kinda interested in how things work over there and I visited a friend of mine recently who is in the Army (US Airforce) and I became a lot more interested in the reasons why people join the army in the first place.
Baltyn
09-09-2003, 04:22 PM
While i was in i signed up for the GI Bill, while it wont pay for everything is sure helped. I still didnt end up going to colledge, ended up going to trade school for computer repair. Even with the GI Bill there was no way i could afford colledge. What i SHOULD have done was take colledge courses while i was in the Marines, then they would have paid for it, but at the time i was young and wasnt thinking about my future, at the time i was thinking more about the here and now
So whats up with you Balty?
Dont hijack my fucking thread!
I got on some channel last night and talk and immediately I said shit ppl got freaked out. It really pissed me off ppl acted like that and like they couldnt even handle the word shit for their fucking virgin ears. I mean shit like they dont hear it in RL? If they dont wanna hear me saying shit well like I said, they better get the fuck out.
They were like WTF is up with the swearing. I was like yeah I hope when you typed WTF you knew what WTF meant. Hypocrite.

reason #1..
Basically cussing is a form of expression, lets say you want to cuss you say fu, but if you are really upset you say fuck you..
If you cuss all the time, then it becomes meaningless and you end up without an outlet to express yourself.. that's what I think is wrong with cussing in general..
reason #2..
This is kinda an extention of reason #1, there is a way to distinguish between "ubers" and ther rest, that distinction is gear (the skill can be learned in less than an hour).. there is also a distinction between people who are just dumbasses and normal people and cursing has a lot to do with it..
