What the H*LL?

CanonAlberic:

This is one helluva poll! (BTW, the only one of the so-called “swear words” that I find offensive is the offhand usage of “GD” or “JC”. “Fxxx”, “Sxxx”, “Dxxx” or pretty much any of the others don’t bother me at all.)

Peace (you xxxxxxx’s)!

PS: I truly don’t believe that the good lord cares one way or another about the usage of any of 'em (except, perhaps, for the two that I find offensive… I think he’s got more important things to concern himself with!)

From Psalms 19:15 it reads:

Let the words of my mouth meet with your favor, keep the thoughts of my heart before you, LORD, my rock and my redeemer.

I take this as one wanting to put the good LORD first in all that comes from the mouth.

Just a thought…

Nan S:

The word I can’t tolerate, especially from children, is “sk": "that sks” “you sk" "it’s sking (insert adjective here)”.

When I hear this, I try to catch the offender and make him/her think about what was just said: “If you know what that word you just shouted REALLY referred to, you would probably be too embarassed to show your face in public for a long time.” That generally gets a moment’s reflection, a wide-eyed look, and a quiet blush.

I too agree with you here and correct others as politely as I can, but, the funny thing is it’s not just children anymore who say, "it sks". It’s now commonly used by adults. I cannot stand it when anyone uses that word for any reason. It is sad, sad, sad. **
