Familiarity Breeds Contempt

So what now is the English language's foulest word?

After all, we're going to need something to do to death here.

 

"Liar" and "Imaginary" seem to be favorites at the minute...

 

what on earth did they expect?

I'm surprised it's taken him so long.

 

"Top posting"?

At least some people have more than an iota of sense:

"My nine-year-old daughter begged me to stay up and watch it,
but I didn't let her because I expected bad language. I mean for
goodness sake, why else have they got Johnny Rotten on?"

 

YTTTC (?)

 

I'm more dissapointed it has.

20 people thought that the word, "Jew", was very severe swearing.

What a bunch of cunting motherfuckers they must bastard be.

why is "jew" a swear word?

 

Stupid people running scared of PC.

 

I can understand an objection to "yid" or "kyke", but surely "jew" is
just a description?

 

I think it depends on the context. If it is used as derogatory term then
it could be offensive.

**** it, it's still not swearing.

nigger

 

Yeah, but it's the sort of idiot who can't figure whether to use "black",
"neeegro", "darkie", "coloured" or "silvery moon"...

 

...or as one colleague put it "sooty".

I really fucking wonder some days, £30K+, FFS.

 

Dunno how common it is nowadays, but it was certainly used in a
derogatory sense for non-jews when I was a kid.

Not that that makes it a swear word, mind.

 

Just tie the fucker to the rails.

 

I can see how in the context of - for example - referring to a
non-jewish person as a "jew" because they've been tight with money as
being "offensive", but...

that's what I meant.

 

yeah, you'd think you'd get a better class of bigot for that sort of
money.

 

And do you have a message for the 10 people who thought that, "God", was
very severe swearing or the 14 who rated, "Jesus Christ" in that category?

I can just see them, sitting in Church, their fingers in their ears, going,
"La la la, I can't hear you."

"that's not swearing, that's 'taking the Lord's name in vain' you
fuckwits".
