F**K OFF

filthymcnasty

The most commonly used colloquial slang phrase? but still taboo & censored out in papers etc, its been in the Collins dictionary for donkeys years etc so why the big deal as this stage,
Personally i reckon I use it and its derivatives about 100 times a day, except when asked for money, in that case I'm polite and say piss off you ****

Superbus

Well you are filthy, McNasty.

Ya but id say a good percentage of paper readers are 70+ so Editors know they can't upset them, maybe in a few year when the old have passed and a younger generation has taken their place a new trend will set in

alan4cult

Sounds more explicit when its F**K not fúck.

Great thread title

What do ye think about the phrase being used to express disbelief?

I find it hard to get used to in that context.

Well f**k refers to the act of sexual intercourse which we all know is filthy and dirty (sometimes slimy) which is a curse that we are forced to endure in order to procreate and as such, that word should never be printed in its entirety for fear of corrupting the fragile minds of our minors and for the simple reason that it can remind us of that filthy act from which we all originated from.

To be honest, I don't know how our parents can look us in they eye.

yaeh but its been around a long time, i know we should have standards in language but having to use asteriks for what is a pretty common word/phrase at this stage is bit Orwellian, especially if its in most dictionaries so it must be accepted for the most part

I remember once as a kid being told off by my mam for swearing. It would have made more sense to censor a 12 year old for using "inappropriate" language, if she hadn't have finished the berating with, "I don't know where the f*ck you picked up language like that".

I'm not surprised after being on a boat for 450 years.

It's down to the old class disctinctions in England that decided which words are vulgar and which are of acceptable use in the English language.

The Normans, who comprised the aristocracy, spoke French and terms derived from this language are acceptable.
Examples; sex, penis, vagina.

The lower class Anglo-Saxon terms are considered vulgar.
Examples; fuck, cock, cunt.

The words mean the same, the only difference was where on the social order they were used.

Is that true? That's really cool if so!

Well, there may be an element of how the words sound.

The Anglo-Saxon sounds harsher to an English speaking ear. But I'd say that may be subjective.

Did they sound harsh before they were considered vulgar or after?

The only thing stupider than newspapers blocking out some of the most common everyday words in existence is boards.ie blocking out the words.

It just fosters peoples creativity.

ƒuck
∫hit
ƒúck
πss

Δick

Eventually ƒuck spelled regularly wont be a dirty word but "ƒuck" will

I'd say they are fairly harsh sounding words. Short monosyllabic words starting out with an umph with a hard abrupt ending. Fuck! Cunt! Doesn't roll off the tongue as easily and sounds more effective when said in anger intended to insult.

Not when I utter them in my dulcet, honey-dripped tones.

Some of the French insults can sound fairly guttural also...

Fils de pute, nique ta mere etc.
