Public Service Announcement: Profanity in Happy Hour

[GameMaster]

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.

I swear everywhere GD

[Teuthida]

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.

[Aladuf]

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

[Renwood]

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

Like country music.

[flamb]

what if its horribly misspelled

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

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.

[Teuthida]

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.

He may not, buy my god is not your God. My god enjoys quite the coitus.

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
