trumad: Women should not be swearing on DU...it's ‘just trashy!’

[trumad]

You think you'd know your place by now!

[hobbit709]

1. you wanta say that to Skittles?

[For Freddie]

24. As John Goodman...

Said in his role on Treme, "Fuck You, You Fucking Fucks."
Trashy is gerrymandering as is destroying the Black Vote.
Nothing is off the table in this fight.
I am a 70 year old Granny in Tucson.
My grand kids willingly put a quarter in the F-Bomb Bank
to have free expression and comedy. They are all artists.

And by the way for "Trashy".
Yesterday they went after Michelle for not wearing head gear,
while Martha Mc Sally campaigned on fighting to not wear head gear
while a pilot to "go after the wimmen's vote".
She too won lying.
She will not even answer anything about the Soc. Sec. Disability plan
they have, silence. Some supporter of women, heh?
THIS IS TRASHY.

We have one rule in our family. Do not swear in front of great grandma or up set the other grandparents who are polite.
Be Kind. But do not loose your edge.

[calimary]

57. Welcome to DU, For Freddie!

Glad you're here! Love it! I am guilty as charged for swearing here at DU. So I guess I need to be consistent, at least, and say I Damn Well Fucking love it!!!!

[malaise]

77. And a very special fucking welcome to you For Freddie

[Hekate]

86. Welcome to DU from another gramma

Aint life grand?

[Iris]

103. Fuck you and welcome to DU!

Best new member post EVAH!!!!!

[tblue37]

114. Yeah--she'd kick his ass for sure! nt

2. What the Hell

Screw that

[whathehell]

8. You rang?

I'm with you. Screw that.

[newfie11]

21. Great minds

[whathehell]

36. Definitely!

back atcha

[ann---]

3. What I don't understand is

why swearing is necessary by either gender here or anywhere. Profanity is not necessary in order to make a valid point. It's crude - period.

[riderinthestorm]

11. Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn...

If you've never experienced the deliciousness of a well placed expletive then I actually feel sorry for you.

[DebJ]

112. I need a stamp like that to put on responses from my Republican rep in the house.

Actually I stopped asking him for answers it was pointless.

[Stainless]

47. Good thing you're not in charge of determining acceptable language standards

Your limited understanding and self-righteous arrogance would severely limit the ability of people to communicate effectively.

[dumbcat]

65. I think it sad

that anyone would think that.

"... would severely limit the ability of people to communicate effectively."

[ann---]

96. That was my point, too

Most people can communicate effectively without using profanity or vulgar references. Jesus and Buddha are two examples. What would this world be like if they couldn't?

[ann---]

95. I'm not saying that

people do not have the right to express themselves however they want to according to the standards of this forum. But, I also have the right to choose to read or not to read comments laced with profanity. That is the reason why I avoid the Rude Pundit.

[Kelvin Mace]

60. Ummm.... It isn't the words

it is the intent and context that matter.

Also, why is this word or that profane, but I can put in a placeholder word that means the same things, and suddenly it is acceptable?

Then there is "She stroked her pussy." which is like the Schroedinger's Cat of profanity/not profanity.

[kentauros]

91. It has a rich history that should not be dismissed merely because it's "crude"

And, most have no idea where these words have come from, only in how they 'hear' them used today. Read a little, learn a bit

[font color="fuchsia"][font size="5"]Etymology of the 7-Deadlies[/font][/font]
WARNING! WARNING WILL ROBINSON!
This is a long post, so y'all don't have to go looking at the links for each etymological meaning

shit (v.)
Old English scitan, from Proto-Germanic *skit- (cognates: North Frisian skitj, Dutch schijten, German scheissen), from PIE *skei- "to cut, split, divide, separate" (see shed (v.)). The notion is of "separation" from the body (compare Latin excrementum, from excernere "to separate," Old English scearn "dung, muck," from scieran "to cut, shear;" see sharn). It is thus a cousin to science and [link: http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?term=conscience&allowed_in_frame=0|conscience].

"Shit" is not an acronym. The notion that it is a recent word might be partly because it was taboo from c.1600 and rarely appeared in print (neither Shakespeare nor the KJV has it), and even in "vulgar" publications of the late 18c. it is disguised by dashes. It drew the wrath of censors as late as 1922 ("Ulysses" and "The Enormous Room&quot , scandalized magazine subscribers in 1957 (a Hemingway story in "Atlantic Monthly&quot and was omitted from some dictionaries as recently as 1970 ("Webster's New World&quot .

Extensive slang usage; meaning "to lie, to tease" is from 1934; that of "to disrespect" is from 1903. Shite, now a jocular or slightly euphemistic and chiefly British variant of the noun, formerly a dialectal variant, reflects the vowel in the Old English verb (compare German scheissen); the modern verb has been influenced by the noun. Shat is a humorous past tense form, not etymological, first recorded 18c. To shit bricks "be very frightened" attested by 1961. The connection between fear and involuntary defecation has generated expressions since 14c., and probably also is behind scared shitless (1936).


shit (n.)
Old English scitte "purging, diarrhea," from source of shit (v.). Sense of "excrement" dates from 1580s (Old English had scytel, Middle English shitel for "dung, excrement;" the usual 14c. noun seems to have been turd). Use for "obnoxious person" is since at least 1508; meaning "misfortune, trouble" is attested from 1937. Shit-faced "drunk" is 1960s student slang; shit list is from 1942. Up shit creek "in trouble" is from 1937 (compare salt river). To not give a shit "not care" is from 1922. Pessimistic expression Same shit different day attested from 1997. Shitticism is Robert Frost's word for scatological writing.
The expression {the shit hits the fan} is related to, and may well derive from, an old joke. A man in a crowded bar needed to defecate but couldn't find a bathroom, so he went upstairs and used a hole in the floor. Returning, he found everyone had gone except the bartender, who was cowering behind the bar. When the man asked what had happened, the bartender replied, 'Where were you when the shit hit the fan?' [Hugh Rawson, "Wicked Words," 1989]

piss (v.)
late 13c., from Old French pissier "urinate" (12c.), from Vulgar Latin *pissiare, of imitative origin. To piss away (money, etc.) is from 1948. Related: Pissed; pissing. Pissing while (1550s) once meant "a short time."

He shall not piss my money against the wall; he shall not have my money to spend in liquor. {Grose, "Classical Dictionary of the Vulgar Tongue," 3rd edition, 1796}

piss (n.)
late 14c., from piss (v.). As a pure intensifier (piss-poor, piss-ugly, etc.) it dates from World War II. Piss and vinegar first attested 1942. Piss-prophet "one who diagnosed diseases by inspection of urine" is attested from 1620s. Piss proud "erect upon awakening" is attested from 1796.

fuck (v.)
until recently a difficult word to trace, in part because it was taboo to the editors of the original OED when the "F" volume was compiled, 1893-97. Written form only attested from early 16c. OED 2nd edition cites 1503, in the form fukkit; earliest appearance of current spelling is 1535 -- "Bischops ... may fuck thair fill and be vnmaryit" (Sir David Lyndesay, "Ane Satyre of the Thrie Estaits"), but presumably it is a much more ancient word than that, simply one that wasn't written in the kind of texts that have survived from O.E. and M.E. Buck cites proper name John le Fucker from 1278. The word apparently is hinted at in a scurrilous 15c. poem, titled "Flen flyys," written in bastard Latin and M.E. The relevant line reads:

Non sunt in celi
quia fuccant uuiuys of heli

"They (the monks) are not in heaven because they fuck the wives of (the town of) Ely." Fuccant is pseudo-Latin, and in the original it is written in cipher. The earliest examples of the word otherwise are from Scottish, which suggests a Scandinavian origin, perhaps from a word akin to Norwegian dialectal fukka "copulate," or Swedish dialectal focka "copulate, strike, push," and fock "penis." Another theory traces it to M.E. fyke, fike "move restlessly, fidget," which also meant "dally, flirt," and probably is from a general North Sea Germanic word; cf. M.Du. fokken, Ger. ficken "fuck," earlier "make quick movements to and fro, flick," still earlier "itch, scratch;" the vulgar sense attested from 16c. This would parallel in sense the usual M.E. slang term for "have sexual intercourse," swive, from O.E. swifan "to move lightly over, sweep" (see swivel). But OED remarks these "cannot be shown to be related" to the English word. Chronology and phonology rule out Shipley's attempt to derive it from M.E. firk "to press hard, beat."

Germanic words of similar form (f + vowel + consonant) and meaning 'copulate' are numerous. One of them is G. ficken. They often have additional senses, especially 'cheat,' but their basic meaning is 'move back and forth.' ... Most probably, fuck is a borrowing from Low German and has no cognates outside Germanic. (Liberman)

French foutre and Italian fottere look like the English word but are unrelated, derived rather from L. futuere, which is perhaps from PIE base *bhau(t)- "knock, strike off," extended via a figurative use "from the sexual application of violent action" (Shipley; cf. the sexual slang use of bang, etc.). Popular and Internet derivations from acronyms (and the "pluck yew" fable) are merely ingenious trifling. The O.E. word was hæman, from ham "dwelling, home," with a sense of "take home, co-habit." Fuck was outlawed in print in England (by the Obscene Publications Act, 1857) and the U.S. (by the Comstock Act, 1873). As a noun, it dates from 1670s. The word may have been shunned in print, but it continued in conversation, especially among soldiers during WWI.

It became so common that an effective way for the soldier to express this emotion was to omit this word. Thus if a sergeant said, 'Get your ----ing rifles!' it was understood as a matter of routine. But if he said 'Get your rifles!' there was an immediate implication of urgency and danger. (John Brophy, "Songs and Slang of the British Soldier: 1914-1918," pub. 1930)

The legal barriers broke down in the 20th century, with the "Ulysses" decision (U.S., 1933) and "Lady Chatterley's Lover" (U.S., 1959; U.K., 1960). Johnson excluded the word, and fuck wasn't in a single English language dictionary from 1795 to 1965. "The Penguin Dictionary" broke the taboo in the latter year. Houghton Mifflin followed, in 1969, with "The American Heritage Dictionary," but it also published a "Clean Green" edition without the word, to assure itself access to the lucrative public high school market.

The abbreviation F (or eff) probably began as euphemistic, but by 1943 it was being used as a cuss word, too. In 1948, the publishers of "The Naked and the Dead" persuaded Norman Mailer to use the euphemism fug instead. When Mailer later was introduced to Dorothy Parker, she greeted him with, "So you're the man who can't spell 'fuck' " (The quip sometimes is attributed to Tallulah Bankhead). Hemingway used muck in "For whom the Bell Tolls" (1940). The major breakthrough in publication was James Jones' "From Here to Eternity" (1950), with 50 fucks (down from 258 in the original manuscript). Egyptian legal agreements from the 23rd Dynasty (749-21 B.C.E.) frequently include the phrase, "If you do not obey this decree, may a donkey copulate with you!" (Reinhold Aman, "Maledicta," Summer 1977). Fuck-all "nothing" first recorded 1960.

Verbal phrase fuck up "to ruin, spoil, destroy" first attested c.1916. A widespread group of Slavic words (cf. Pol. pierdoli?) can mean both "fornicate" and "make a mistake." Fuck off attested from 1929; as a command to depart, by 1944. Flying fuck originally meant "have sex on horseback" and is first attested c.1800 in broadside ballad "New Feats of Horsemanship." For the unkillable urban legend that this word is an acronym of some sort (a fiction traceable on the Internet to 1995 but probably predating that) see here, and also here. Related: Fucked; fucking. Agent noun fucker attested from 1590s in literal sense; by 1893 as a term of abuse (or admiration).

DUCK F-CK-R. The man who has the care of the poultry on board a ?hip of war. ("Classical Dictionary of the Vulgar Tongue," 1796)

cunt (n.)
"female intercrural foramen," or, as some 18c. writers refer to it, "the monosyllable," Middle English cunte "female genitalia," by early 14c. (in Hendyng's "Proverbs" -- ?eve þi cunte to cunni(n)g, And crave affetir wedding), akin to Old Norse kunta, Old Frisian, Middle Dutch, and Middle Low German kunte, from Proto-Germanic *kunton, of uncertain origin. Some suggest a link with Latin cuneus "wedge," others to PIE root *geu- "hollow place," still others to PIE *gwen-, root of queen and Greek gyne "woman."

The form is similar to Latin cunnus "female pudenda" (also, vulgarly, "a woman&quot , which is likewise of disputed origin, perhaps literally "gash, slit," from PIE *sker- (1) "to cut," or literally "sheath," from PIE *kut-no-, from root *(s)keu- "to conceal, hide."

Hec vulva: a cunt. Hic cunnus: idem est. {from Londesborough Illustrated Nominale, c.1500, in "Anglo-Saxon and Old English Vocabularies," eds. Wright and Wülcker, vol. 1, 1884}

First known reference in English apparently is in a compound, Oxford street name Gropecuntlane cited from c.1230 (and attested through late 14c.) in "Place-Names of Oxfordshire" (Gelling & Stenton, 1953), presumably a haunt of prostitutes. Used in medical writing c.1400, but avoided in public speech since 15c.; considered obscene since 17c.

in Middle English also conte, counte, and sometimes queinte, queynte (for this, see q). Chaucer used quaint and queynte in "Canterbury Tales" (late 14c.), and Andrew Marvell might be punning on quaint in "To His Coy Mistress" (1650).

"What eyleth yow to grucche thus and grone? Is it for ye wolde haue my queynte allone?" {Wife of Bath's Tale}

Under "MONOSYLLABLE" Farmer lists 552 synonyms from English slang and literature before launching into another 5 pages of them in French, German, Italian, Spanish, and Portuguese. (A sampling: Botany Bay, chum, coffee-shop, cookie, End of the Sentimental Journey, fancy bit, Fumbler's Hall, funniment, goatmilker, heaven, hell, Itching Jenny, jelly-bag, Low Countries, nature's tufted treasure, parenthesis, penwiper, prick-skinner, seminary, tickle-toby, undeniable, wonderful lamp, and aphrodisaical tennis court. Dutch cognate de kont means "a bottom, an arse," but Dutch also has attractive poetic slang ways of expressing this part, such as liefdesgrot, literally "cave of love," and vleesroos "rose of flesh."

Alternative form cunny is attested from c.1720 but is certainly much earlier and forced a change in the pronunciation of coney (q.v.), but it was good for a pun while coney was still the common word for "rabbit": "A pox upon your Christian cockatrices! They cry, like poulterers' wives, 'No money, no coney.' " {Philip Massinger: "The Virgin-Martyr," Act I, Scene 1, 1622}

cocksucker (n.)
1890s, "one who does fellatio" (especially a male homosexual); 1920s as "contemptible person," American English, from cock (n.1) in phallic sense + sucker (n.). Used curiously for aggressively obnoxious men; the ancients would have recoiled at this failure to appreciate the difference between passive and active roles; Catullus, writing of his boss, employs the useful Latin insult irrumator, which means "someone who forces others to give him oral sex," hence "one who treats people with contempt."

motherfucker (n.)
also mother-fucker, mother fucker, usually simply an intensive of fucker (see fuck (v.)), attested from 1956; implied in clipped form mother (with the context made clear) by 1928; motherfucking is from 1933.

tit (n.1)
"breast," Old English titt "teat, nipple, breast" (a variant of teat). But the modern slang tits (plural), attested from 1928, seems to be a recent reinvention, used without awareness of the original form, from teat or from dialectal and nursery diminutive variant titties (pl.).

7. I couldn't decide if I should rec this or not

But, what the fuck.

9. Swearing on DU is fucking obligatory.

That is what I decided after seeing a long thread, followed by several others, seeking to keep cussing off DU.


When I defended the choice, someone expressed surprise that I was championing those who cussed because I didn't. I then decided to try to remember to include at least one cuss word in every post.

Even Skinner doesn't get to say what someone puts in or leaves out of a post, although he can delete posts and ban posters. IMO, control freaks should be thwarted.

First, they came for the cussers.....

15. Believe it or not, but here are the JURY RESULTS:

On Wed Jan 28, 2015, 10:38 AM an alert was sent on the following post:

trumad: Women should not be swearing on DU...it's ‘just trashy!’
http://www.democraticunderground.com/10026147167

REASON FOR ALERT

This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate.

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: JOKE JOKE JOKE JOKE It's a joke. If you are new to DU, please understand trumad is making fun of Huckabee NOT agreeing with him. If you are not new, then you make DU suck by using the alert button for things you don't understand.

Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: NO this isn't sexist and I'm not hiding it, If you don't like it then YOU can trash the thread
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: It's clearly a sardonic response to the Huckabee thread. Jeezus I swear this place is is satiracally clueless sometimes.

[malaise]

17. Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

You mean someone really alerted on this hilarious thread?

[HappyMe]

18. Unbelievable!

At least that alerter is shut down for the day.

[trumad]

19. Hey alert stalker...

Ha Ha!

[Cha]

118. Exactly what I was thinking.. chances are the alerter is not

new to DU.. but is like the juror who said of you.. paraphrasing.. "I don't care what the poster said.. I don't like him.. Hide."

This is our alert/jury system Folks. Oh yeah, there's some good honest people on the jury who are fair but are there enough to combat the bad apples?

[trumad]

120. I get hit with a lot of bullshit alerts...

Some stick, some don't.

My alert stalker just follows me around and hits alert with the hope of finding a jury that..err doesn't like me or a jury to busy to not give a shit and then hits hide because the alert stalker words his alert to make it look like I killed a whole village.

I lost all faith in the jury system the day I got a post hidden because I used the word knucklehead.

My alert stalker is just a sad little guy who has no life.

[Cha]

122. Alert stalkers are a dime a dozen around here.. They know it's a crap shoot.. just as easily get a

hide as not. I've seen some of those "..make it seem like I killed a whole village" alerts. So many times my explanation is "Get a grip, alerter".

My last and only Hide right now is for cussing out the homophobic dictator putin. From then on I only use ******* ******* putin when referring to him.

Let them alert my asterisks.

[trumad]

123. Yep...

Look at the alert in this thread. The stalker simply wrote "Sexist". That's it..." Sexist".

Now imagine if 4 lazy jurors...2 who do not like me...2 who just vote with just the alerters comment as evidence...walla...I have a hidden thread. The flaw is there is very little recourse to get it overturned..... Sure you can alert in the alert...but nothjng ever happens.

[Cha]

124. I know.. I don't like that "very little recourse" issue we have. The

Hide I got before the current one.. had an explanation saying they agreed with me but had clicked on Hide anyway.. a 4-3 one.. Darn!

Right.. if there's a lazy juror or one in a great hurry.. "sexist" might be all they needed when reading the caption to slap a Hide on there.

I got alerted on once for calling the subject of the OP an asshole and the alerter in their infinite wisdom decided I was calling the OP said asshole. Thankfully it was a Leave. Scary shite..

[newfie11]

23. Wow someone needs to get a life nt

[malaise]

79. I'm so sorry I wasn't picked for that jury

I would have added a comment
Hell fucking NO

Priceless response

119. Mahalo. magical Thyme!

[merrily]

38. The only thing I can think of is that the alerter may have been unaware of Huckabee's comment?

[cwydro]

55. LMAO

that someone alerted on this!

[Curmudgeoness]

58. Damned right it was sexist!

That's the whole point.

[magical thyme]

121. I think you meant that's the whole fucking point, right? nt

[Curmudgeoness]

127. I am offended

by that trashy horse you have in your sig line, taking a shit. (Am I allowed to say "shit"?)

Why you gotta be so fucking trashy?

for the humorless.

[Shrike47]

16. As an attorney, I have found many occasions where the only appropriate expression is vulgar.

As in, 'what the fuck were you thinking when you tried to put the (live) pig in the back seat of your car?'

[snooper2]

25. well the clutch was out on my truck what the fuck was I supposed to do?

[For Freddie]

31. Live Pig

I always put my live pig in the back seat of our car.
Her name was Sophie. She thought she was Miss Piggy.
She loved to ride. She would sit facing back to see the cars behind
us. With her front hoofies on the back of the seat. She loved it.
She also like Freddie Mercury playing and for some reason watching
the Miami Dolphins. She was 13 when she passed.
When people drove by us they couldn't believe it.
I KNOW not safe in the legal sense. But Fucking Cool. No?
Anyone that is interested I still donate to the Ironwood Pig Sanctuary.
Look it up. They do great work.
Sometimes only Fuck will do when facing great stupidity and evil.

[Shrike47]

64. Nice story. But you see, my guy was putting a pig in his car that wasn't his.

He got mad at his buddy, the pig's owner, so he tried to take his buddy's pig as retribution. His wife objected to riding with pig which delayed his departure until the police arrived. This was a 4th of July barbeque and a few brushes had been quaffed

[Manifestor_of_Light]

83. When I was very small

there was a character in our town who had a very small horse. He took the back seat out of his car so he could drive around with his little horse.

This was in the late 1950s. He also had a wife, and he refused to buy her a modern automatic washer. She had an old wringer washer that I assume had a motorized tub, but you still had to wring out the clothes by hand.

One day she got mad and went after the old washer with a ball pein hammer. Then she said, "Fix this, you cheap bastard!"

At least that's what I heard from my dad.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

20. dafuq u say.

[patricia92243]

22. You have it backwards - men should not swear. It is ok for women :)

[bigwillq]

26. Instead of swearing, go make me a sandwich.

I kid. I kid.

I make very good sandwiches, and would be more than happy to make some for anyone who is interested!

[F4lconF16]

48. You can send me one!

I forgot to pack a lunch today

If your internet delivery doesn't work, I think I'm going to go to a local shop and get one of these:

54. That looks great!

I'll make you a few. You should get it soon. Maybe. Unless it gets lost in cyberspace!

[AlbertCat]

63. Mmmmmmmmm Ham and cheese on marble rye...

You'll have to start 3-D printing one now....

[notadmblnd]

27. As I told my mother when she chastized me for swearing by saying it's unlady like

I don't want to be a lady. I want to be a sailor.

[Rozlee]

72. I was a sweet little girl from a Catholic family until I went into the Army.

I used to even cringe when people said 'damn.' Being in the military for four years got rid of all the sugar and spice. Being in the Reserves later and activated so many times around soldiers infuriated at their deployments just refined my already formidable repertoire.

[mopinko]

30. i used to get that shit when i worked construction.

i made it a point to say fuck within 5 minutes of arriving on the job site every morning. when people told me that i would be more accepted if i were to watch my language, i just laughed.
told those people that i wanted to make it clear that that was one weapon they would not be able to use on me.
i would say- you cant scare me with that shit. i know those words, i use those words, hell, i have even done most of them.
next question.

hucklehead will provide many laughs while he wastes a lot of money. go mikeee boy.

32. To that I as a woman would say..

BULLSHIT!

[PeaceNikki]

34. The PN family crest is a pair of eyes rolling to the side, the GB Packer logo, & the word 'fuck'.

[oldandhappy]

37. But when men swear?? It is OK??

Poor Huck. Listen to yourself before you speak, Mr. Governor. Looks to me as if your presidential campaign is a run against women. That did not work the last time!

P.S. Love the art on this post!!

[DeSwiss]

42. You have to be careful with swears!

- If you want to be patriotic make sure you use only AMERICAN-MADE SWEARS!!!

[font size=1]Disclaimer: Swears have also been known to make hair grow on men's palms and for girls to lose their hymens. No, that's masturbating! Well, it'll make something grow on you somewhere -- and that's fer sure!!!

44. knowing you (and seeing that pic) I could only assume this was in reference to some

stupidity coming out of someone's mouth, but I had to read down the thread to find out whose idiocy this was.

still shaking my head.

[niyad]

45. suckabee should go suck himself.

[seabeyond]

46. yes. i know. hence me saying, fug instead of fuck. too many hides.

just not ladylike enough for too many.

as we are told, if only we were nice.

[niyad]

100. as I told somebody once, who asked why I didn't want to be a lady, "ladies get stepped on,

bitches do the stepping."

[KamaAina]

49. Nice post, Huckabee!

[calimary]

50. Well, fuck it!

[seveneyes]

51. It's a fucking Calamity

[csziggy]

52. Oh, crap - you'er channeling my mother!

She still thinks "crap" is a swear word. Fifty years ago when I was a kid, she almost threw me out of her car when I said it. It didn't help that I objected to her outrage by telling her the origin of the word crap as a pejorative. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Crapper#Origin_of_the_word_.22crap.22

Even now that I am in my 60s Mom still gets on my case if I use any scatological language. In her world "ladies" never use bad words. She's not convinced that she really didn't raise me as a lady and these days I try not to disillusion her.

[polly7]

62. She sounds like my mom.

When I was growing up, she swore like a pissed-off sailor ........... but she had nine kids and we weren't exactly the Brady Bunch so I'd be amazed if she hadn't. Now every time she hears me swear she says 'WHY do you swear so much, people don't like that .... you're going to have nobody left that wants to talk to you'. I don't remind her of her own language for so many years either, as she's getting older and it's kind of funny, so I just smile. I hope she never hears my friends when we get together - I'm considered the mild one.

[csziggy]

92. Mom still lives what she tried to teach - she doesn't swear at all

No matter what we girls did. Of course, her grandfather was a Baptist preacher and her brother became one, too, so she had to watch what she said when she was growing up.

I'm sure as a Navy Nurse she was exposed to foul language, but she resisted its use.

I only ever heard her swear once - she slipped in the bathtub and reflexively said "Damn!" Since her bathroom was just off the Florida room that had been added on, all us kids heard her. She realized we had as soon as she came out and lectured us about how she had NOT meant to curse, and that she had sis NOT give us permission to do it. I don't balme her for cursing that day - she had a horrific bruise that took weeks to fade.

I learned to curse in college from my roommates the first year. I learned more creative words from my horse breeding business associates. My mastery of abusive language has been enhanced in my time on DU!

[polly7]

93. LOL.

I swore a teeny bit around my horses too, especially when they stepped on my feet and wouldn't move. Or dumped me on my ass - my swearing seemed appropriate at the time.

My mom actually said 'where are those fucking glasses' the other day when she thought I wasn't in the same room. It was all I could do to not laugh. She normally never ever swears now ....... but I kind of wonder just how much she does in private, lol.

[Wounded Bear]

53. You should tell Betty White about that one...

[Sanity Claws]

59. Fuck you!

[Iggo]

61. Rec'd for the pic.

[Zorra]

67. I was taught that a real lady never swears; it lacks class, is crass, and uncouth.

88. The more I know you

The more I like you.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

69. ....uh huh....

[DonCoquixote]

70. Offensive speech

Is very often the only speech those in power actually fear, because it signals that the people that get stepped on are NOT going to be shamed into being polite, which is very often just "subservient" sweetened with saccharine.

[laundry_queen]

110. That's really interesting

i'll have to tell my dad that next time I see him. He hates swearing, especially in women and I've definitely pissed him off with regards to my language. He was a very authoritarian parent - still is - so I don't doubt he hates it when I use swear words. Means he can't bully me anymore. Thanks for that.

73. Mikey Dingleberry is exploring his path

To obscurity .

101. you nearly made me lose my keyboard--dingleberries. MIND BLEACH!

[fredamae]

78. Fuck That!

I'm a Loggers daughter who also grew up on a G'Damned Farm in a commercial fishing town.....

[BlueCaliDem]

80. Is "dayum" or "shiite" swearing? Hehehe...

Well, personally, I try not to swear. It don't think it's trashy as much as I think it's unlady-like. But that's just my opinion. I don't mind an occasional swear word, but when used too excessively, it discourages me from reading a post.

[winter is coming]

82. If there were no men on DU, perhaps we wouldn't need to.

[kcass1954]

84. I do not spew profanity.

I enunciate clearly, like a fucking lady.

[irisblue]

85. the hell with that noise

I feel so much better now.

[Skittles]

87. YOU WANT I SHOULD KICK YOUR F***ING ASS, TRUMAD

I expected my ass kicked hours ago.

As an aside:

[Iris]

104. What the fuck?

[LiberalAndProud]

105. Goodness me!

I don't know what all the hoopla is all about. Did Huckabee say something untoward?

Late to the party and I have no idea what we're to be swearing about, but let me just say Golly Gee and Gosh Darn it all anyway.

I am curious, if clueless.

106. Trumad, you must have been at Naches Ranger Station in the day...

They had some of us "inner city" kids out for the summer building trails and character and stuff. One night all the girls got called to a meeting with the rangers. Or rather their wives. They came to tell us our swearing was embarrassing their rugged woodsmen husbands. Not the boys. But the girls specifically. We skeered them bluenosed snagglepusses and their menfolk. Now what was that all about?

[madinmaryland]

107. My wife just asked me why there are no FUCKING fans in the stadium

at any of the Marlins games.

She also tells me that the Cowboys keep fucking losing.

I'm scared of that little girl in the picture.

126. My mother and I used to swear at each other like "Dueling Banjos".
