Why? "Fuck" is an extremely expressive word when used properly. Entrepreneurs must have a thick skin, and know when to use "fuck" and similar words.

- columbo 14y ago>Why? Obviously the only way to answer this is with personal opinion. For me, whenever I see a blog post with "why this fucking sucks" or other language I'm not necessarily offended. However I do feel like I'm suddenly talking to a child. Fuck, Fucking, Fuckshit etc isn't shocking or expressive anymore. It's just an indicator of inexperience. I can't seem to get my point across so instead I'll say I can't seem to get my FUCKING point across.
- Swizec 14y agoWhen writing I often use the word "fuck" or something similar to put a certain feel on a phrase. For effect. Not because it's offensive or a cuss word per se, but because I want the phrase to make a certain sound when the reader reads it. It's a perfectly useful stylistic flourish when used appropriately. (just like deliberately using bad grammar can be ... or emoticons ... or sometimes even putting a delimiting punctuation, but not actually delimiting a sentence)
- pyre 14y agoWe'll know it's out of hand when it's commonplace for marketing copy to say "Fucking use our product, bitch!"
- bane 14y agoI think that happened in the 90s in the video game market. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/c/c1/Daikatana_ad_-_John_Romero_is_about_to_make_you_his_bitch_-_Suck_it_down.jpg http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/c/c1/Daikatana_ad_-...
- TillE 14y agoYeah, that was not well-received. Though the problem really isn't the "bad language", it's the deliberate rape metaphor that makes it tasteless at best.

- diego 14y agoI appreciate your assessment of my intelligence based on your knowledge of my history, writing and actions. I fudging appreciate it. Or perhaps you aren't smart enough to use the word "you" correctly.

- ams6110 14y agoUsing obscenities is almost always the lazy way out. Its presence signals that whatever is being said might not be totally serious. It's a marker of casual speech, and emotional thinking.
- diego 14y agoI disagree. George Carlin was a master at it, and he was anything but lazy. As for being a marker of casual speech / emotional thinking, sometimes that's exactly what you want to convey.
