Is this a swear word?

[nicetobehere]

I just heard in my room that my husband was saying 'stupid' as a small voice while he was cooking alone.

Was he swearing?

Wha ??

Sorry. My question was would you describe that he said 'stupid' alone in the kitchen as swearing?

No, it's not swearing.

But it's a word I would be very careful about using. For example, I would never call a person 'stupid'. It's very demeaning.

So, maybe your husband has the same mindset as me - be very careful about how you use the word 'stupid'.

Stupid is not a swear word.

He wasn't actually saying to anyone?

Stupid is not a swear word

Whaaaaaat?

You are a little peculiar, OP.

Nope, only only one word syllables count.

eg Stu-pid versus Fuck

It's an insult. Insults are not always swear words, DD can be very insulting without a single obscenity.

He said to himself. There was no one there.

Not swearing, not even crude. It's an everyday word.

Why are you worried that he might swear anyway?

This is a really stupid AIBU.

Does that cause you offence OP?

No stupid is not a swearword.

Who or what did he think was stupid?

no I don't think it is personally, it's bit a nice thing to say to someone, but he was on his own wasn't he?

not a nice thing

Did he call the kettle stupid?

Or the oven?

Is this a real thread???

He swore a few times before and he said yesterday he would do his best not to swear any more.

We're the potatoes being stupid?

Singing perhaps "stupid Cupid" la la la Lala

He was probably calling himself stupid because of something he did. Not swearing, I often call myself an arse or say for fucks sake if I drop something or cut myself.

Were* stupid kindle.

Blimey thistle I hope not.

Although, with MN recently, who knows?

It could become serious thread of the night contender.

Cunt
Fuck
Shit

A few swear words that spring to mind. Stupid .. um no. but thanks for letting me have a reason to post them, crap day..
