No need for S**t just type 'shit' or use another word if you don't want to swear.

If you can say "fuck". I can say "f#$k".

So fuck off.

But can you say "f#$k"? Confused How is it pronounced - f'hashdollark?

It’s been long proven that swearing has no impact on vocabulary, in fact some studies prove the opposite.
That may be true. However, it has been shown that emitting an expletive when you hurt yourself eases the pain but that the effect is weaker for more habitual swearers.

But why are people censoring themselves?
if you want to swear then do it properly.
if you don’t want to swear, just use a different word

I have kids constantly around me. I like to swear on MN and I'm not apologetic about it.

At home I have to go into an empty room, close door (could be an airing cupboard I'm not fussy) and have a little swearathon.

Where I can say for fucks sake over and over, cunt face bollocks, what the fucking fuck, bastards, arseholes. Then I feel I can carry on with my day. Happy sigh.

Reminds me of the thread berating people for swearing on MN and the first response was ‘ well then, off you pop then cuntychops’

It’s pronounced “fuck”. Everyone knows that.

I’ve seen so many things like b*tch recently it made me wonder whether MN has naughty step words now that we’d get banned for saying.
Good to know that isn’t the case and we can say what the fuck we like.

I look forward to Greta Thunberg joining MN now that has been clarified!!!!

This sort of F**ing thing makes me roll my eyes too.

But not as much as when someone says "I bought a leg of lamb from a well known supermarket chain begging with A and has a green logo".

It's Asda you fucking dick....just fucking say ASDA!!!

<< Swigs the last of the Christmas sherry >>

DuplicateUserName · 31/12/2022 18:08

*Beginning, not begging.

But the begging threads piss me off too 😊

So if you are in fact saying "fuck", wtf spell it f#$k? That's just fucked up.

MeinKraft · 31/12/2022 19:39
