Well Tom you chose to use the word twice, Crap perhaps would have been more appropriate, certain standards should be maintained, the battlefield, mess/NAAFI might be an approproiate place to use such expletives but this is a public forum where ladies and children have access.

I have posted over 700 times on this forum and have never had the occasion to use such language, surely it is not necessary...........

I do agree, I do! I was brought up on a ranch in New Mexico where men spoke softly, politely, correctly, and carried big sticks (my Grandad was in Cuba for the Spanish-American War) ...but is it ok if, just once in a while(just a little bit)... I slip and say something like "Pip, Pip, Cheerio, Chocks Away" or "Dang" or something of the sort? Dad used to say."aaaahh!", Grandad sometimes would say" Aw Pigwhistle"... which I found funny as anything... know what I mean? I like it here, you Gents are ok.

I like to say "Globule!" because it is a nearly perfect word. It just sounds right. Nobody has to tell you what globule means for you to know that it is not something that you want down the front of your shirt. For a truly bad word however, I would suggest "balaclava", a term that Americans have wisely and instinctively abjured. I also like "haggis", which would be an ideal word for a piece of knitted wear ("Oh, John, you look so handsome in your new haggis."). Haggis does not sound like food to me.
Yes, one might want to be very careful with words. Consider the sentence "I wonder if I might see your chest". Uttered in an antique shop this would mean one thing. On a dance floor quite another.
Well, that`s all I have to say about language, I guess.

One of my ancestors went to Scotland or Scandinavia or someplace up there on a trip once, shooting wan*kers I think it was. Anyway, they came back with a magnificent hand-made Haggis which they embroidered upon... we have a family custom still that one of us gets to wear 'the Family Haggis' over the Christmas holidays. It is really such a lovely custom.

My father always told me that profanity is the last refuge of the ignorant, and besides the best way to really get to someone is to dispute him in the most articulate possible manner. He told me that if you don't give anyone an excuse to object to your language, then they'll have to deal with your ideas. Good advice then, good advice now.

Children sometimes create their own innocent swear words from our language.
The little girl who had observed the men building the new extension was overheard by her Mum cursing her teddy with 'Bummocks'!

[sneaky beaky]

Isn't "Bummocks" a Sarah Kennedy expression? (Sarah - Dawn Chorus - 6 a.m.) You are showing your age El Prez!
Sneaky

[El Prez]

Correct. I was probably having the early morning bed bath when it was announced.

I just love being powdered, always Johnson's, always a battle.

[Dr.Craig]

I gotta say I totally disagree with that. All I ever here around the base is swearing. Particualry F-word. I hear less swearing around my mates but what is the problem with swearing exctly?

They are simply words which depending how used do not convey a lack in grammar or offensce. The forums I admin and sites I dont see why censorship shoudl be used. I belive allow users to relax and speak how they regularly do.

Tv, films, music all contain a certain amout of swaering which is used to show how strongly a person feels about something and if you dont liek it you either choose to not watch or choose to not be offended. In this modern word censorship is beginning to impeed or people. Political Correctness now is beginning to annoy me for the same reasons.

BTW. Yes am knew here and yes I have alot of opinions (dont get me started on religion ) but speking about these is better and no im not here to change anythign just get opinions

[Guest]

censorship...ain't that a big boat that smells really good while something on it is burnin? An' how bout ragginfratzen, that's a good one... as in,"Ya dirty-rotten ragginfratzin-ragginfratzin!!!"....................
