So are we going to allow certain blasphemes & not others?
Can I use crap(quite mild)? & not s**t when both words mean the same & anyway when I type s**t you all know what I mean.Last edited by bubblewrap; 01-11-2009, 04:14 PM.The river Trent is lovely, I know because I have walked on it for 18 years.

I either use the word, or use a different, often longer (and 'acceptable') word which has the same meaning (eg 'love child' which describes most politicians)Originally posted by bubblewrap View PostFlowers come in too many colours to see the world in black-and-white.Comment

No probs with the use of carp but do take the point that there are probably 1001 other words we could use without resorting to fake swearing.
Re the bored beans bit, actually find this rather annoying as it means that you won't find those threads on the search feature if you put in broad beans which could be a right pain if you were doing a general search.
Some of us live in the past, always talking about back then. Some of us live in the future, always planning what we are going to do. And, then there are those, who neither look behind or ahead, but just enjoy the moment of right now.
Which one are you and is it how you want to be?Comment

Why do we find the need to swear when there are plenty of alternatives. Carp doesn't even relate to c**p in my mind wheras rubbish does.sigpic“Gorillas are very intelligent, but they don't have to be as delicate as chimps -- they can just smash open the termite nest,”

When referring to a politician, "totally unknown parentage" is more accurate, or 'parents only met the once'.Originally posted by bubblewrap View PostDoubtful parentage is better.Flowers come in too many colours to see the world in black-and-white.Comment
