Is making a small, dirty joke a mortal or venial sin, in the context of an otherwise innocent conversation?

Is using the F bomb a mortal sin when not directed at somebody? I don’t think so.

It is easy to make excuses for one’s self; it is good to remember that the ears of others are affected by vulgar language.

This isn’t something anyone but you can make a judgement on if it’s a personal question. I’m sitting here thinking:
What does this person think constitutes a dirty joke? Is he scrupulous?
Who is this joke being told to? Are they vulnerable or impressionable?
What does “innocent conversation” mean to this poster(person)?
If I take the question at face value, then yes it’s most likely a sin; most likely venial. I would really have to think up a pretty nasty scenario where telling a dirty joke would rise to the level of mortal sin.

Regarding impure jokes.
A guy went to Padre Pio for confession once, saying he used to tell terrible lies to make people laugh and asked was it a sin.
Padre Pio answered, “That’s okay, you’ll be laughing all the way to hell.”

Impurity:
Jesus told St Faustina, “Do you think that every sin against purity is just a venial sin?”
Our Lady of Fatima told Blessed Jacinta, “More Souls go to hell for impurity than for any other sin.”
St John Bosco was told by God, “97% of souls who are in hell, are there for sins of impurity.”
Impurity:
Can be a sin by: word, action, thought, or omission, or scandal.
Telling an impure joke: If someone listening was tempted to impure deliberate thoughts because of that joke, then God holds their mortal sin on your soul too, because you were the source of temptation for them with your words.
“Woe to the one if any of My Little Ones should fall because of you.”
Did the joke glorify and promote fornication, Sodomy, or objectifiying women? Did it promote and advertise mortal sin? Because that is the sin of scandal.
Not one canonised Saint told impure jokes.
Jesus and Mary have often appeared to saints, and the saints say they have a sense of humour, but they never say impure jokes.

This sounds like Padre Pio was making a little joke? I mean, you say the man in confession used to do these things. And since he was in confession, I’ll assume he received absolution. A little clarity may be in order here, at least for me.

But what defines a bad word?
Then you should have no problem backing that up with the proper citation, yes?
Otherwise, please don’t state “facts” that aren’t true.

Really? I’d love to see that. I’d also like to know what constitutes a"bad" word. Does it change each year? Limited to the fcc list or is fiddlesticks or crud, off limits too?
