How many times do you curse a week?
Thursday, October 2, 2003 by joetheblow | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
Since we have discussed on some threads about what is cursing and what is a family site I was just wondering in you opinion, just how many times a week or even a day do you say an explicive.
Me? It will be months (or a year) before a curse word will slip out. Then again it depends on what you mean is a curse word.
here are some links to the subject:

and here are some words that made it into the dictionary:
http://channels.netscape.com/ns/news/package.jsp?name=fte/inthedictionary/inthedictionary&floc=wn-nn
Me, I find myself saying one word allot as my 'curse' I suppose.
I hope we can be a little adult on this thread even if to show the kids how to act and speak on issues.
In otherwords, don't be a ________!

0/week. I don't care if people do, I just don't. But then again, I don't talk much at all.

I have to admit my vocabulary is pretty good.. well at least expressing my feelings verbally is ok compared to others.
As hard as it may seem sometimes saying sh** doesn't mean anything.
Its just bull I suppose.

Believe it or not, when I was a whippersnapper I caught troubles all the time for talking too much! goodmorphing still smells chalk dust from all those blackboard sentences "I will not talk in class." ONE THOUSAND of them!

,,,, um... the math teacher had his own punishment. Write out on the chalkboard the math, starting at 1000, minus one, down to 0. It had to look like this....
1000
-1
999
999
-1
998
That wasn't really the punishment though... that came when I got picked up after school when someone had to drive 14 miles into town to fetch me because I missed the bus!

I wish I would have thought of a solution like that! Maybe I would have gotten time off for cleverness!

Erm. Cursing is a true art in the Netherlands. Especially Amsterdam. And yes, a curse sometimes (ahum) passes my lips when I can't find a bug in time, when I hit my knee to a table or when the coffee cup I am carrying is too hot. Some of these might cross my lips after I disconnect a phone call, when I try to decribe the tax collector or when a car tries to hit me while crossing the street.

So paxx, saying the 'f-word' in front of you would have less impact than saying something like 'sacré tabernacle'. (I've been told that any curse that involves religion is much worse than words that have a sexual connotation.)

| Well, that's the nice part about knowing a second language. For some reaon, swearing the the other language doesn't sound as bad, although it is. |

BTW: We in Amsterdam had a problem when the guilder disappeared and made room for the euro. The slang word for guilder is now only to be found in the dictionary. We wondered how people would call the new currency. It turned out we now call the euro very creatively the pleuro. Which is a combination of "pleuritus" and "euro". This indicates we hate it, because most prices went up. Of course you wouldn't use that in front of strangers (unless they speak Amsterdam slang) or in front of your employer.
Shall I continue?

The topic caught my attention while I was here. So I felt compelled to answer. I would be soooo rich, if I weren't to cheap to put a nickle in a jar everytime I swore
