I avoided swearing for a long time here. In real life too.

But after struggling for so long trying to convey certain opinions with wholesome words, I just feel like there are certain instances where using a swear word is just so much more effective for trying to encapsulate what you want to express.

I've found it much easier to communicate with people in the 15-25 year-old demographic. That might have something to do with modern culture.

I feel bad knowing that if offends some people. But I never do it around old people or young children.

I guess it depends on who you're speaking with.

1. Nintendo's online structure is lacking and leaves a lot to be desired.

2. Nintendo's online setup is so fucking lame and shitty.

In my opinion, sentence 2 is far more effective at expressing the dismal state of Nintendo Wii Connect and the narrator's disappointment with it.

*shrugs*

I don't verbalize expletives nor do I often write them. Even if I were to stub my toe or receive a flying pigeon to the back of the head, I'll usually say "fudge monkey" or "monkey soup" or something else that sounds really stupid and usually contains "monkey." I need to start cursing.

The next time I stub my toe I hope I say "monkey soup" that is too awesome! :lolz:

"Fuck" is my go-to word. It really fits every possible instance or emotional nuance.

Like country music.

I do think there is under 5 COPPA users, but I like to believe they did it by accident.

And Jim, that's a good idea. Maybe we should have everyone post what words they find offensive and we could build a censor database from that.

Yeah I like that idea as well. Woot does that with their forums, and they always give me a laff. Here are some examples

g-a-y = pleasantly upbeat
l-o-l = llo
d-i-c-k = beautiful tulip
p-e-n-i-s = penis
p-u-s-s-y = neon angry mole
f-u-c-k = frak
s-h-i-t = Manos, the Hands of Fate
d-a-m-n = damn
b-i-t-c-h = grumble and/or bemoan fate
n-i-g-g-e-r = Hey look, ma, I'm a racist!
c-u-n-t = muffin
b-a-l-l-s = orbs
v-a-g-i-n-a = vagina
c-o-c-k = purty scarf
s-l-u-t = homey don't play that
a-s-s-r-a-p-e = assrape
f-a-g = frog
f-a-g-g-o-t = frogger
O-M-G = Ovaltina, my goat
W-T-F = PAAAaaaAAaaaanCAAAAAKES!
B--O--C = Blushing Over Compliments
a-s-s-h-o-l-e = ratholes

They also tend to change some of them at their whim.

One expression I find very offensive is: OMFG.

God doesn't have sexual intercourse.

You know I never thought of the literal meaning of OMFG. I just considered it to be a normal exclamation to a higher degree than OMG would be. You just blew my mind a little bit. Not that I like either one. More for the excessive overuse of such acronyms than for being blasphemies.

I found it more fun to filter profane words into different profane words. It made things confusing.

Yeah, but.. OMG > Oh my gosh, and OMFG > Oh my fudging gosh. Unless gosh means god, I think the expression is safe. I've never really thought of god in the expression. That's why when you go OMGZZZZZZZZ it verbally makes sense: ohhhhhmygossssssshhhzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
