Thanks for the support.

One thing about the offensive language.

Swear words are offensive by nature. I not sure how to write an example of a bad basic swear-word example without it being tagged as offensive.

This further adds to my point that swears are lazy and can mean anything to anyone.

If I can make a suggestion; can we mark it as nsfw or mark the post as having offensive language?

Otherwise, give a swear-word I can use that’s safe to use, and I’ll try to make it work.

Thank you for reading. Hope you’ve a great day.

It’s all good, I still feel a little bit sleep deprived right now.

It’s less so looking down on people and more so viewing cursing as you said a crutch.

I guess that’s on me for spilling the smug jar on my post (gotta put it somewhere better).

I also don’t really mind curses, it’s just not as great as a good insult.

I’d know, I had a few months where swear-words were all I’ve said & I look back and find it kinda cringy.

Hope this clears things up.

I understand that using swear words don’t take away from the remark, in the same way that someone’s point isn’t discounted because they used the word “like” more than needed.

As for the second point, I cannot think of one other then maybe a movie quote since the words choosen got popular due to the context of the movie (or any media).

That to me is more of a movie good than the phrase is great, but I can be wrong about that (I’m just not sure how).

Would it help make it more sarcastic if I added some f**ks in the sentences, sensei.

For the 1st point, all I read is that smart people curse, & I’m on a high-horse for pointing out cursing isn’t that creative.

You don’t seem to refute that cursing isn’t super creative, so I fail to see the counter argument here.

And if you going to say that I’m condescending for what was stated, then guilty as charge, I guess.

For the sencond point, read again what you wrote me. I see “smart people are more likely to use curse words.”

That doesn’t state when nor to what degree do they curse.

Also my point is that there’s better words to use then swear words, I fail to see how it’s suppose to matter that smart people use swear words.

Again I ask, does it make the swear word more intellient because someone smart says it as oppose to a witty remark?

The best speakers tend to not use them if we’re going to bring who says what in this.

3rd point, clichés exist for a reason. I hope that after you let out the steam (probably by cursing), you can see how - even in your rage - you thought of insults instead of cursing. Would hate to think it would show you as lacking brain power than the smart people cursing away somewhere.

And this is called not understanding a joke.

Guess it needed the /s then?

I guess don’t know how to break it to you that saying “f you” is not creative without being on a high horse then.

Also, speaking of cope. To say that a person using curse words instead of a witty remark is somehow smart cause smart people use curse words doesn’t sound right but I don’t how else to interpret the ETA you made.

Then, to curse is to show that you’re a wimp.

Anti-cursing for the win, baby.

I get what you mean, however that last paragraph seems to be mistaking something.

I was showing how saying “fat-f**k” is shallow than the more biting “don’t get up, I know you haven’t done it in years.” It’s meant as a comparison.

I’m just a tiny-bit tired so maybe I need to rephrase it again, but I hope I made my point.

I think there’re better words to use. “Appropriate” makes it sound as if I’m a nanny or something; I don’t care about appropriate, I care about if the phrase made an impact. There’s not much impact in swearing other than (maybe) showing anger.

Depends on the situation.

Edit:

To replace one word for another would be the same as saying the f word is now written & pronounce as “zulk”.

Yea, because it’s easy; just as saying f you is nothing more than a brainless task, lacking any depth.

Maybe I miswrote it. I mean that choosing from a wheel the 1 out of 7 words to use, isn’t as clever as thinking of an insult that stings. I agree that cursing doesn’t take away, it just isn’t needed.

In what way does it add emotion? I’ve heard people say “f you” to mean all different kinds of emotions. I find it hard to believe that saying “I’m f-ing sad” is more emotional than taking time to think it though and get something such as this “I think losing a family member would hurt less than what I’m feeling right now.”

I disagree with “polite” words having no emotion. Tell me you don’t get anything from this sentence “Go to hell, you subhuman pest.”

I think the tone & emphasis matters more than selecting some curse word. When I wrote the sentence, I was thinking the “subhuman pest” part was biting since it would be said in a sharp snapping tone & conveys more info than a swear word.

Maybe? I find more joy in a clever remark then a person saying the same 7 or so words in a - what seems to be random - order.
