How often do you foul-mouthed heathen swear?
More often than I'd like to admit. I try to avoid it, though....I've started using "expletive" as a generic, all purpose swear word. I also sometimes find myself saying "berkeley" out loud instead of using the swear word it represents.

That said, I never curse around people I just met until I hear them curse. Is that weird?
Me too, so I guess it's not that weird.
Other than people I know not to swear too much around (grandparents and the like) I swear a berkeleyton. And I'm inventive, which is apparently a problem.

The word "ass" is officially not a curse word anymore. I hear it on the radio and TV all the time, middle of the day, during kids shows, not constraints. While it is perhaps not the worst word out there, it is still tough to watch your little ones here "he's a real ass" or "what an ass" or "she was acting like an ass".
Ass was never a swear word. Jesus loved riding the ass. How could it be wrong?
He actually rode in on two asses. It was a threesome. (actually the author of that particular bit misunderstood the prediction in the old testament he was trying make come true in the new testament)
Speaking of religion, what is worse - saying the F word or god damn type cusses?

Well, "May God damn you" is a curse. Go berkeley yourself with a berkeleying chansaw you filthy berkeleying ass hammer" is just a colorful command.
I'm trying to insert "frak" into my usual rant vocabulary. People understand what your trying to say, but it isn't officially a swear word. Worked for Whedon to get past censorship on BSG
I try very hard never to swear. I've typed berkley orE36M3 on this board, but I'm actually typing the word you see, not the censored word. I own an old Dodge, an old British car, and an old German car, I can't say I never swear.
Is this where somebody posts the inspirational speech from Team America: World Police and lets the filter have its way with it?

My favorite is to call someone a berkeley-knuckle. I usually reserve that word for my inner monologue though.
Watch this. Then go berkeley yourselves, you humbugging ninnyhammer berkeleys. It's a word. The word is not the meaning. The meaning is the meaning.

What I don't get is ass (donkey) is fine to say, but ass (hole) is swearing? So it's just the thought? It's a thought crime? Alot of the people I know who are against swearing are also VERY against laws like that, such as the hate crime legislation...

I still don't get why people get hung up over what words I choose to use in a casual setting. If you have a problem with it, berkeley off. Seriously.
This is the best berkeleying thread. Ever.

Exactly!! If I say "oh crap!" it's fine. But to say the other????
Being pro or against swearing doesn't matter, this still makes no sense. One of my work mates irritates me, I've called him a Joey48442 before. You would be shocked at what I was really thinking.
to keep balance in the universe there must be swear words. it can't be all good words ya know

'Fumbleberkeley' is my favorite descriptive word for a total idiot.
I keep my pottymouth pretty well cleaned up around the kid or my mom, but elsewhere...
