Gobshite is a fantastic word. I have to admit I love the shock value of the c word. I went through a pretentious phase of 'claiming it back for woman' when really I just loved the look on peoples faces. Equally I am aware some people find swearing offensive so don't f & blind all the time.

I would swear on late night threads or with threads that, at that moment, are populated by people I know well.

Personally it never offends me, you bunch of gobshite mares, you.

I tend to stick in an asterisk if I'm swearing. But can't say I'm offended if anyone else doesn't.
