I say it when necessary to accentuate the necessity or importance of something.
You fracking geek.
I tried to spread the frack but ultimately couldnt do it due to cheesiness. I realized too BSG shouldve just been a hbo/showtime series so they couldve shown nudity and said ****.

Ahh weird this thread was made. I was in Jamba Juice today with the other half and these girls not a few days over 16 (the four of them) may have said the F word about 20 times while we waited for our drinks. They weren't shy about anything they were saying. Youth of tomorrow seems promising. *face palm*
i'm a sailor so...
As an 03 it's just life.
Kan what exactly makes a bad word bad? Because someone else told you at one point or another that it was bad? You can't associate it like metonymy otherwise sex, coitus etc are also "bad words".
Now if you want to look at the etymology of most words then you can look at it's symbolism in which case you are talking about context, not the actual word itself. By that logic saying I don't give a crap is no worse than saying I don't give a ****.
At what point in time were "curse words" became vulgar? Did someone just think of a word one day then people said that's a bad word! ?
One of my wife's friends will drop f bombs all day long in front of their 10 year old son. We don't hang out with them much because it really annoys me that they have such little class and set a bad example for their kid.
I've never used the F-word, nor my wife. I think it's especially offending when I know my wife hears it. 99% of the time the person speaking could care less if it is offensive to anyone around them. It is disgusting to hear it in a crowded public place like a restaurant, movie, grocery store, ball game, etc.. Just a couple of weeks ago I was at a AAA game in Rhode Island and there was a guy behind us (with kids of all ages and women present around us) and he and his buddy spouted out the F-word irrespective of these kids and women. Sadly, it is rare that anyone actually apologizes for using it when they know it is offending someone nearby. Such is the state of the society we live in. We choose to use the F-word (or curse), or not to.

So s**t is ok.. but other words are not... sounds seriously hypocritical... how can you possibly correct someone for cursing using a curse word... im a sailor so its natural and unoffending to me.. your kids would have heard a whole bunch more had you corrected me that way.. plus so many are offended by a dumb word and want to act all evangelical but yet go out and cheat on their wife and get a divorce... what are you really teaching the little sponges and where is the priority... words are only words but your actions speak 10 fold...
I try to avoid using them, but its not due to the supposed offensive nature of the words. I'm in the camp that thinks the meaning behind the sound is what matters, so even substitutes are the same.
I avoid using them because they are empty words. I might say "WTF", but not while in conversation or directly towards somebody. In a conversation every word has a particular place and was carefully chosen to be there.
"Think quickly, but speak slowly"

I have no problem with people who curse a little or curse a lot. The only thing I find rude is people that can't seem to tone it down in certain settings.... mainly around families and young children.
OP what the **** are you talking about?
This guy right here is why curse words are associated with trashy people.

+1 When people curse in front of my kids I have to tell them to watch what the f*** they say. Being in the military I'm just used to it. But it shouldn't be used around kids, and most of my military friends understand that rule when they come over.
This.
I try not to curse around kids, but sometimes adult language slips. In public areas, I'm sorry, but the parents should be prepared for their kids to be exposed to it. They will certainly hear it in time, so... the parents just need to reinforce that it is language for grown-ups and not to repeat it.
Why does it matter whether a sentence is embellished with F bombs? Does it signify that people are becoming more crass and less civil? Does the F bomb correlate with whether or not you're a bad person by how much you drop them?
These. At the garage or the drags or anything where I'm with the guys, it sometimes seems like a foul language contest. With family, around kids, female friends, etc, I keep the the language completely clean.
It's mainly due to the expression that they stand for something vulgar; such as sex, feces, etc.
Profane words have only recently have been given the association of 'profane' within the last 100 years or so. Pretty ridiculous if you think about it.
