It's a nice timer, but this recent casualization of the word 'fuck' is irritating, and I don't care to support it. It was in a ton of the blog headlines posted on this very site last year, and all it does is detract from the power of the word, while doing nothing to add an edge to your project. Sorry.
Nice timer, though. Find a real way to motivate the user without abuse and it'd be even cooler.
- octo_t 14y agoOh no. People are swearing! Woman, cover your ankles, you're inflaming my sexual ardour!
- apawloski 14y agoAssuming that the other parties are offended by the cursing is the common response to these criticisms. I don't think anyone is saying that they're actually bothered by it, but rather that pointless cursing like this is formulaic, worn-out, and generally lame.
- BCM43 14y agoAgreed. If the cursing is the only funny part of the joke, it gets old pretty quickly. In fact, it seems at this point it's the opposite of offensive. I'm mostly just bored.

- car54whereareu 14y agoI think they use that word because of comedic value of the K sound (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inherently_funny_word http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inherently_funny_word). "Buick" might work too? Hey author, please don't dilute our finite set of profane words. Inventing new ones is hard.
