Swearing. Why?

294 replies

dummad · 23/04/2013 13:21

I'n not averse to the odd 'FFS' or whatever, but it seems to me that the use of the C word is now commonplace on every thread nowadays. And i don't like it one bit.

It never used to be like this. Why the cultural shift? I never hear it spoken out loud so why is it suddenly ok to plaster it all over MN?

Is it suddenly 'en vogue' to sound like a drunken navvy? Words like cunt, snatch, twat etc are just vile. Can't we reign it in a bit?

I'm not keen on swearing for the sake of it. I only have a good swear on here when someone winds me up.

nenevomito · 23/04/2013 20:20

I love the Dragon. Even on one of the so oft, oft repeated 'wah people swear' threads.

usualsuspect · 23/04/2013 20:22

I prefer twat makes me sound lesbian apparently. I prefer cock though tbh.

Funny Soz Grin

Ill stop now.

HoneyDragon · 23/04/2013 20:24

You are all a bunch of Dragonist titcocks.

How would you all like it if I mocked your wings?

Well I'll have you know that Ferrets bounce ain't that amazing, SPs fanjos held more Mnetters than a gin factory offering free gin and the RealFellatios actually FakeFellatio.

Psssst Zombie darling you're still lovely

Moist is by far the worst word on earth. I like to use it emphatically just to see people cringe.

SPsYoniTheOneAndOnly · 23/04/2013 20:27

Honey That was a bit personal! I never said a word about dragons! Sad Fanjo related attacks aren't acceptable.

HoneyDragon · 23/04/2013 20:35

Sp ok sorry. But it's still true. You have harboured half of Mnet in your fanjo.

HoneyDragon · 23/04/2013 20:37

Are there actually people out there who would take cunt over twat? Surely cunt is stronger and the more awful

Op. Are you getting minge confused with whiskey?

IamtheZombie · 23/04/2013 20:47

HoneyDragon, has Zombie told you that she luffs you lately?

FunnysInLaJardin · 23/04/2013 20:50

Honey can your wings fly? hmm? hmm? I didn't think so

And SP tis fine, you are young and the youngsters spaketh such speak. I am old and prefer a twat to a cunt and overall prefer a good arse or arses. Or even arse biscuits

NicholasTeakozy · 23/04/2013 20:53

What an utterly brilliant thread. :o

timidviper · 23/04/2013 20:56

I'm waiting for SP's red underling to post something. I want an underling now! Can we all have one and do they all come with schizzel?

HoneyDragon · 23/04/2013 20:57

Hmmmm?

The Puddle used to be in SP's fanjo & it was very comfy.

garlicyoni · 23/04/2013 21:09

Funnys, I do hope Mr Funnys's tent is amply draped with colourful cunting.

garlicyoni · 23/04/2013 21:09

bolourful, that should have been. Fail.

FarelyKnuts · 23/04/2013 21:10

I take cunt or twat, not fussy me :o

KatieScarlett2833 · 23/04/2013 21:11

Cunt is a term of endearment for a man here " you're some cunt" means you are quite the lad.

If you are atrocious, you are a knob or a dick or the always fashionable, twat Smile

EmpressOfThe7OceansLovesMN · 23/04/2013 21:12

Twunt is good.

HoneyDragon · 23/04/2013 21:14
LittleMissBunnyoni · 23/04/2013 21:14

I don't think I've ever been called an atrocious cunt on here

Or a twat

is it wrong that I want to be
