Do you consider "shit" offensive?

[Faulty Turmoil]

So long as they don't direct it at me. Otherwise I'm fine with it, cause I say it quite alot.

 

[PinkAngelKitty]

Nah. I'm rather potty-mouth in real life. The 'c' word does offend me though. Only trailer trash with no class uses that word.

 

[Julianking93]

As long as its not referred to in a literal sense.

Then I just get grossed out.

 

[Lord Mountbatten Reborn]

Why should it be offensive? I've just noticed I don't actually swear much, but swearing never bothers me.

If I ever am cursing all I use are immensely mild things like "arse", "bollocks" and for some reasons "oh, willies."

 

[Asturiel]

Uh....Its the new "damn" dammit! Its a socially acceptable curse that we tell our kids that they shouldnt say for the first 12 years of their life then dont care from then on.

 

[AvsJoe]

I've never been the guy who cusses every sentence but I've never had a problem with anyone else doing it. Actually, to be honest, I say f*ck and its derivatives (f*cking, f*ckass) more often than I say shit, damn, and bastard and their derivatives combined. Shit has never really found a home in my vocabulary.

 

[God's Clown]

I don't really consider any swear word offensive. Probably because I use them quite often, but they are just kinda ya know, words.

 

[Mythbhavd]

I try not to cuss at all. I don't see any point in it.

 

[Sixties Spidey]

What's it matter anyway? They're all just a bunch of four letter words, anyway.

 

[era81]

Doesn't crap sound nastier than shit? It does to me at least.

 

[Rakkana]

Not really no.

 

[SextusMaximus]

Swear words are no more offensive than their meanings, it's just a vast population of the world are told they're bad and so a bunch of immature people thought it would be rebellious to say a swear word every second word.

I swear like I listen to music. The masses listen to Pop, I listen to rock, but I occasionally listen to Jpop.

Spoiler: OMG SWEARS!!!

Pop = "fuck", rock = "none", Jpop = "shit"

...sorry for the obscure metaphor.

 

[SnootyEnglishman]

Until it's taken off the late George Carlin's list of "7 words you can't say on television and radio" it probably will be offensive to most people. Me personally it doesn't bother me too much unless it's used over 3 times in one sentence.

P.S: for those who don't know the 7 words you can't say here they are:
Shit
Piss
Fuck
****
Cocksucker
************
Tits

 

[A.A.K]

no. but then again, asiding some really aggressive "swears" i dont find most swears even swears-this is though depending on circumstance. "Fuck" for example isnt rude unless you're using it without reason and its in every sentece

 

[SimuLord]

The only time I find shit offensive would be if someone suggested taking one on me (or me taking one on her) as a sexual fetish.

The rest of the time? Fuck that shit. What kind of shit is that shit?

 

[likalaruku]

The only word I find offencive is a certain 4 letter C word. Theything else is A-Ok.

 

[Distazo]

I don't find any word offensive. Some words are not appropriate, such as racial slurs etc . . . but you could say anything in the world to me and I will not be bothered.

 

[Lullabye]

All depends on the context. 'Cause shit, context is important ya know.....

 

[Lullabye]

The only word I find offencive is a certain 4 letter C word. Theything else is A-Ok.

Cold?
