Broad Shoulders

I like it, it's gets straight to the point like no other word can.

I have no idea why people are offended by swearing, how do words become swear words and others not?

Is minge allowed?

Upton-on-Severn has a road called Minge Lane. It always used to make me laugh, except when the road sign got nicked, which happened alot.

On that note, the c word is very old and similarly used in road names. Roads used to be named for what went on in the street and Grope****** Lane was a popular name in many towns, first recorded use in the year 1230. There's a wikipedia page on it, but I can't post the link because of the rude word in the title!

I only use a swear word when it adds something to the sentence, which isn't very often. I try not to use them a lot as they become a habit.

As for the t word, that's very expressive and can be used for good effect.

But isn't that the whole point of a swear word though ?

fraser

Not necessarily, they're just other words in our language. Some use them some don't, some are offended others aren't.

You don't have to been raised on a leafy tree-lined avenue in Godalming to have precious middle class sensibilities. Ooooh ... see that - turns out you *can* swear and have good vocabulary skills.

Ok i'm lost -what is the 't' word that some people hate so much? I've tried going through the swearword alphabet and cannot come up with something offensive beginning with T.

I don't find swearing offensive myself but i detest people swearing around the children - especially other school children

My dad swore in every sentence - the 'f' word was his best pal! Doesn't bother me in the slightest. I do agree that some celebs do overuse swearing to a point that is just sounds pathetic and obviously used for effect, but i think comedians get away with it ok and that it is acceptable.

Is that available in regular HD, or do you need a big dish in your backyard?

That'll be the Scottish part of you shining through like a glorious beacon

I'm assuming it's the brand of tea you get if you're on a TWA flight. (When a flight attendant asks if you'd like anything, tell her that you'd like to try her T.W.A.Tea. )
And I don't think that words too offensive, it's more of a c-grade swear word for me.
