That all depends on how the word is used, no? I swear often, but it's never at people, rather I use them as adjectives or whatnot (eg, "Take the fucking trash out,") or during times of frustration (eg, "God fucking damnit", "Jesus fucking christ"). That's where I think the argument can be made about removing the taboo, because really, at least when I say it (and perhaps that's where this argument falls apart? Because it all boils down to intent...), there's no difference between, "Aww man," and "Oh for fucks sake", or, "Take the stupid trash out," and "Take the fucking trash out".
- doubled112 4y agoI feel the same way. Often it comes down to swearing to me vs swearing at me.
- ars 4y agoTry saying "Golly" instead. Would it work as well? I suspect not. That's what will happen if you succeed in removing the taboo.
