is ass cool?

I am really, really, really sick of using mock british 'arse'. Please tell me it is, all of us.

My mom is 71 years old and says 'ass' come on!

 

[BSF]

Yeah, but does your 10 year old daughter or son? Does your mom in front of a 10 year old? There are kids on these boards so I tend to be very tame in my language.

If you're a fan of Farscape, the word frell seems to be a verb that has a few colorful uses.

We do have to remember there are kids on the boards, so some restraint might be in order. (So, perhaps using a few less colorful terms, such as butt or rear might work.)

I'm all over frell and yotz! Great mock swear words, but two that are more or less in common broadcast vernacular are ass and hell. And to be honest I am not much of a swearer (seriously, inspite of this thread). But those are, any more common use words.

Should I have a 4 year old son who asked me about said words, my responses would be thusly;

ass:

"Your backside kid."

Hell

"A fictious unpleasant place."


And that would more then likely be it.

I always figured (perhaps wrongly) that if it wasn't "smilied" out, then it was cool.

I am really, really, really sick of using mock british 'arse'.

Confused... Why would using the British version/spelling/pronounciation of a word be less offensive than using the American version? I mean, it's the same word: we just pronounce it differently and, because it's slang, spell it differently also.

I mean, it would be like saying that (if "bastard" were a slang word, and therefore spelt as it was pronounced) you couldn't write "bastard", but it was okay to write "barstard".

(Apologies if the above offended anyone, but I couldn't really make the point without using the words).

The rule is don't try to get around the profanity filter. If the profanity filter doesn't nab it, then feel free, as appropriate.

I'm not sure about that one. I saw someone post the word naughty word.

EDIT: Filter didn't seem to catch it here. And I'm only posting to give an example. This may be something else to add to the filter.

I believe only the superlative form of this word is filtered, but naughty word and shittier are not (so far). I'll pass it along.

 

[Dinkeldog]

Yup. Just a flaw in the filter that I'm sure will get rectified.

Thank god I am not the only one. I am sick of seeing it. I blame Braveheart for its wide spread use in RPG circles, well thats when I first noticed it.
