Are we still offended by the F word

[Justgrazing]

Any one who watched the Wales v England rugby match broadcast live Saturday just gone may have heard one of the Welsh players utter " no ****ing breathing " that was picked up by one of the many mic's evident at sporting events nowadays ..

Co-commentator Brian Moore quickly offered up an apology to anyone who may have been offended before concluding with " don't know why I'm apologising I didn't say it " 

The word in question frequently turns up in certain genres of music , films and occasionally on TV .. So is it still as offensive as it used to be or has it become emasculated and more acceptable  ..

I thought this was going to be about members being offended by the word 'farang'.....f#»k

On Five Live BBC yesterday they were discussing kids getting sex education. And one guy phoned to say that his biology teacher told the class that babies came from a man putting the P-word into the V-word. That was HIS explanation, not the teachers. Can penis & vagina not be used on BBC.

Then a bit later there was a bit on CES in Vegas where a lady had 'invented' a dildo which simulated a man's thrusting. The vag, the clit, the G-spot and cumming were all discussed.

And I pay a licence to listen to all this...............LOL

Call me old fashioned but I find swearing degrading and repulsive.

There's no need or reason to ' F ' this and F that when men or teenages are in a group.

Yes, I do swear at home alone when something doesn't work properly, but not in the company of others.

Just my opinion.

You're old-fashioned.

The only time I swear is when I hit my thumb with an hammer, then I can be heard from miles around, but no, never swear. I just can't understand why people need to use 4 or 5 expletives in one sentence.

If the aitch is silent you use 'an' and I'm from Yorkshire where we drop all our atches, so it's an ammer. ????

I love it when the gramma nazis make there own screwups while completely unaware of their own flaws...

 

On Topic: Decades ago people were offended by words such as Damn & Blast...  The F-Word is harmless and just a word, there is no need feel offensive by its us.... 

 

That said, I don’t use it in front of my parents or my son...  but in the bar with the boys or on the football pitch I get a bout of potty mouth !...

The prudes that run this forum seem to get upset by use of the word <deleted> ????

The F word is everywhere,remember when one of the sex pistols 

said it on the BBC, now in nearly every drama show on tv its used

all the time, along with humping, so you can now say it on the BBC 

but not on ThaiVisa  <deleted> ,  see what i mean.

Parents told me that anyone that had to resort to physical means or foul language showed a lack of intelligence and self control.

But 'e didn't write an 'ammer, 'e wrote an hammer.

 

I deliberately left out the quotation marks to avoid any more confusion. ????

I use it as often as I can, I asked my wife the other day to pass me the piccafu#$#nlilli.

I avoid using the "F" word but use a more politically correct two syllable version as used by new U.S. Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib when she commented about"... impeaching the mother**cker Trump. I usually use it loudly and slowly when I am working at home and one of my projects goes wrong.

Hear, hear!

Vocabulary is usually what is in short supply.

Politeness. Morality.

The Stuff of Legend.

A made-up set of rules by unknown people for unknown reasons.

Best reserved to keep the 'Baaa' brigade in check.
