    Yeah, this is rather irritating. So you mean to tell me that you have enough intelligence to know that what you say will offend me but say it anyways because you think you can simply shield yourself with the idea that if you state you mean no offense, it makes things cool?

    I was playing poker with some of my dad's cop buddies as a kid. In Mormonville, Utah. And this one guy, loses a hand he had invested heavily in.

    He yells "Cheese n' Rice". So I ask what that means, and my father says they say it instead of saying the Lord's name in vain. I bust up laughing, and everyone quietly judges my soul.

    Fake swear words are the sweysing worst

    except for shucks, yes.

    Penn and Teler's Bullshit had a great epsiode on this. They talked to one woman who insisted on saying "santa vaca" instead of "mother fucker", thereby offending even more peoples (it's spanish for "saint cow")

    I can understand people who think that swearing outbursts are bad for you (not agree with, but understand) but swear words aren't magic. Yelling "Oh, fudge!" instead of "Oh fuck!" is not any different, except for the hard "k" sound.

    edit: to clarify, it's the outbursts that I can understand being against, for blood pressure reasons. Those outbursts are the same for you regardless of of the words in them, though.

    the worst6 part is, it is ACTUALLY a valid phrase, when you are making a perfectly neutral statement, but think it may offend, in order to make you intentions clear. But, instead, idiots use it to try to protect them when they ARE being offensive.

    A good example of proper use would be "no offense, but I'd prefer if you'd let me drive home. you've had a bit to drink."

    "damn" itself is a bit of a silly swear word to begin with

    One time my high school football coach tried to give up swearing. The whole team chuckling at an angry "Cheese and crackers!" outburst put an end to that real quick.

    In Saint Louis people have issues with pronouncing certain "a" and "o" sounds.

    Washington becomes Worshington
    Fourty Four becomes Farty Far, etc...

    It's rather entertaining

    I do this when I'm just, like, talking on the forums or with friends.
    I could, like, completely just cut it out if I wanted to.

    the proper thing to do is to clean up the subject matter and cut out the expletives, not just soften the words.

    Totally. Every college class I've taken thus far, the vast majority of the people there take like fifteen minutes to articulate a simple historical concept because they're so busy waffling and saying "like"

    it's just a pause filler now, much like "um", or "eh"

    what's more annoying, actually, is the Israeli version of "eh", which is loud, and drawn out.

    What gets to me is when people affect a stronger accent or an impenetrable dialect because they think it's required to show pride in their origins

    I have friends who do this and I know they can speak English as clearly as the goddamn Queen but then suddenly we'll go someplace new and they become super-Irish or super-Scottish and they become semi-coherent to anyone who wasn't born next door to them

    Oh, also Carlisle is fucking full of mumblers. I am the enunciation champion compared to some of these people, and I basically sound like mmmbrrrbb brrr mmmmfff.

    Yeah, unfortunately you are the victim of the latest bandwagoning. It doesn't matter what you say, everybody will tell you to shut the fuck up and go away.

    Now honestly, you do say a lot of retarded shit, and a lot of things I downright don't agree with. But I also realize sometimes you have a hard time conveying concepts because English isn't your native language, and when 90% of the posts directed at you are hostile, it is hard not to get defensive and make a fool of yourself.

    speaking other languages doesn't preclude english being his primary

    also, I don't cut runcubed any slack because he consistently pulls that bullshit of telling people to be nice to him whenever he runs out of things to say to defend some idiotic assertion he's made
    yet he doesn't really extend the same courtesy to those he disagrees with, even though he's unable to coherently express why they're wrong
