what is a curse word? And how does a word go from being a regular word to
being a curse word? And.. who maintains the list? ... and.. do curse words
have context?.. or are they just "bad" no matter how they are used? Are
words that describe sexual organs or the sex act curse words too? What is
meant by the "Curse" part? Does it have something to do with the Bible?
If so, where in the Bible does it say that the F-word is forbidden.?

... or.. or.. forget all of that.. .

Just answer this one: Is the F-word considered a bad word because it refers
to the sex act? What exactly is vulgar about the F-word?.. or the sex act?..
and what about when the F-word is not being used to reference the sex act.. ?
does context matter at all?​
 
I tried at arms length bringing this up in the discussion of the N word about the context of words


Context is everything Mike.. The socio/political/historical origins and uses of
the N-word are what set it out of bounds. If you don't get that, you don't get
that.. but hey: what about the F-word? or any of the generic so-called curse
words that are regarded as low-class or vulgar.. what sets them out of
bounds? Who is offended when I say, " I don't give a sh**" ? And why are
they offended?​
 
Brother SkuderJaymes ... i think everyone has their own level of sensibility, what they find offensive, etc.

Growing up in my Mother's house, "butt" and "lie" were curse words ... we had to say "booty" or "behind" and "fib" or "story", respectively.

Even here, years ago, someone called me a Negress, and a Sister got really angry with me because I took no offense to being called such.

In a community like this, with so many different sensibilities, pleasing everyone can be a challenge.

Even as Brother MiKe intimated above, the N word does not offend him, but it does most others.

Most obscenities and profanity, the F one included, has history explaining why it's generally viewed as such, and I look forward to the research shared regarding them.

For this community though, when you type a word in its entirety, and it is astericked out, management has determined it is not appropriate for us and our purpose.

Fortunately though, many places welcome Black People cursing each other, and no history of the word is even required ... if that's what one wants to do.

Love You!

i dnt care about the origins of the N word....same rules apply in terms of context...if you ppl are offended by the N word you can just as easily be offended by any other so called vulgar term.....**** that
