Are swear/cuss words offensive to you?

As most people would know there are alot of swear/cuss words.

Im not going to list them all because....well duh.

Anyway are they offensive to you?

Why or why not?

They aren't offensive to me because its just a word, it never hurt anyone.

 

some are and some aren't cuz some i used too and others are just rude

 

They dont offend me because they are just spicy words....well its hard to explain spicy.....but thats all they are to me.....

 

Milder cussing doesn't bother me, but stronger swearwords do, especially when they come from little kids.

 

Nah, they don't offend me in the least. If someone attemps to insult me by cursing, I just give them an uncaring look, and they shut up and go away. :D

 

Yeah, but I don't mind the small talk. Strong language, that's what ticks me off.

 

They dont offend me -.- But i do like the swearing on Bad Boys xD

 

I haven't much of a problem with swearing.

I don't mind pretty much any word, since I'm not literal about everything, I could care less.

It's just that sometimes some people need to stop using them in a negative standing point.

In my opinion, it's just a way to add more expression or literacy to something.

Example: "Shut up!"

Example 2: "Shut the **** up!


lol...

 

well no it doesn't

it'll piss me off if you dun say it right.....

DX just be like me and say "What the fruit?!!"

 

i'm used to them being around me,but there still offensive to me,like at my own free will i would slap them hard if they did.but of course thats just violent.language abuse just isnt right.especially with 3 year olds around.

 

Nope, I don't find it offensive at all. If some random person walks up to me and says "**** you!" -- I just give 'em a nasty look and say "screw off," it's just a way to intimidate someone in my eyes. The "walk away" thing never works. But on to the point, I think cursing is a way of seeming agressive towards someone. Sometimes I actually curse back, I never do it randomly or to start a fight though. Just in a sorta defensive way though.

Oh yeah and on the internet? It's a piece of TEXT. I could be flamed to death with curses and not care.

...and yeah. That's about it. :D

 

They are just sentence enhancers! They make you all fancy looking.


No they do not offend me.

 

*shakes head* Nu-uh. None of them do. Man, Fate and I have to listen to them all day everyday at school. You just kinda get used to it after a while.

 

it kinda depends.... usually they Rn't, but if somebody's bein a complete jerk or annoying, then they do offend me/get on my nerves..... other than that, they're just words... i mean, callin somebody a b**** would probably B only as offensive as airhead or somethin

 

it's not that i get offended but when a stranger says something i get PISSED out of my mind. :)

 

they offened me but it not like i can do anything about it! you hear them enough every where so i guess my attitude is "y bother?!?!"

 

No cus there just words and some of them like Bugger (my family keep telling me off for saying that) don't even seems like cuss words. eg. when I say bugger and I get told off I say
"What it's only 'Bug' and 'er' put together" see what I mean?

Also when I swear it just saves me time saying what i mean in full e.g When I say F*** off what i really mean is
"Go away and leave me along"
Also when I say S**t what I mean is
"Aww man I can't belive that has just happened"

So in all there just words

 

The fact is, they ARE just words.

A few have been around since the middle ages in fact. Many people beleive they were used by evil witches to curse those around them. Hence "curse" words.

When the witch craze died down and the black plague ened, most people started usuing them as a way to explain anger. However most people were offended about supposedly being "cursed".

As the centuries went by we got more and more words, and people became less worrried about them.

Most people today aren't too offended, however the ones who are make too big a deal about it.

Swear words are given power by those who are offended by them. If people sat back and realized they're just words, then that's what they become. I think that more people would use them this way, but actually a lot less frequently.

But the world is all ****ing ****faced and completely ******ed, so that'll probobly never ****ing happen...asses...>.>

 

Make up your mind!

You're all rambling on about nothing!

"I think some swear words are good... but others are not."

Are swear words offensive toy ou or not?

As for me... I swear all the time. I could care less if they offend me. I swear at the most trivial things, too, like... I dunno, dropping a pencil. It's just habit.

 

The C-word referring to a lady part offends me. Other than that, the words themselves don't offend me unless the person saying them means badly.
