    @Chrissy Cross I dunno it just doesn't seem to have the steam I'm used to with the "other" word.

    But it sounds a lot like it and people will wonder what kind of accent I have. :)

    True though..it's softer sounding...

    Sometimes I'll say the word "frekking", like "no frekking way".

    But, what's really amazing is how the F word and some others, are in single letters that people use, like WTF and LMAO and others. People know they can't use a word in some forums or they can be kicked off, so they will put that word into a single letter.

    I've "unfriended" some people on Facebook, due to their language. One was our great niece.

    Some people will get very defensive about using the F word and others and will say "you don't like seeing it, tough!"

    The way I look at it is, they are just words. Letters strung together. Unless they are flung at another in anger, it"s all good.

    What I’d really like to see is......a person is the F or MF word towards a law enforcement officer or court judge. What would that get the person?

    If in the military, say either word towards a superior enlisted person or an officer. Results: extra duty and restriction or even a court martial.

    Well that's obvious @Cody Fousnaugh ....lots of places you can't or shouldn't swear.

    That's not totally correct...many Christians do it and accept it. Also, many aren't Christians....don't know the statistics on that though.

    Some states once had laws against cussing in public, and may yet have such laws, but they are being overturned by the courts, thanks to the ACLU.

    So what are the words that you aren't allowed to say?

    I don't know. They probably wouldn't tell you because then they'd be arrested too.
