Swearing

[Matt King]

For my English coursework i need to write an essay on how people of different ages act to swearing. Could you please fill out this survey on swearing thanks

[JoJo]

Filled out, although I doubt you'll get many respondents out of the 18 to 30 category.

Oh for FUCK sake...another fucking survey about damn swearing and...uh...shit!...and...man, I'm bad at swearing

Sure thing buddy! I have filled out your survey, though now I feel dirty and need a shower since you made me type in my five most offensive swears...there are not many (certainly weren't five) but the few that I see as taboo I find REALLY offensive.

Also relevant:

 

[Zantos]

I haven't typed that many swear words since my letter to Desert Island Disks in 2009. Anyways, all done! Hope you get some good results.

 

[Goofguy]

I'm only too happy to help with your fucking survey. But seriously, hope it's useful to you.

Is it sad that I can't actually think of enough swear words to fill out distinct top and bottom 5 lists?

Is it sad that I can't actually think of enough swear words to fill out distinct top and bottom 5 lists?

My issue isn't that I couldn't fill out enough words, it's that I don't find many particularly offensive. Then again, anything is offensive if it is put into the proper context.

I'll leave this here..


And will answer your survey presently.

EDIT: Done.

Don't forget about Fuck Shit Stack. Couldn't help but think about it as I was filling out the survey.

Same...Found it surprisingly difficult to answer this survey without any context.

 

[The_Echo]

I can't really fill out the survey, seeing as I don't find swear words offensive, and all you're doing it asking me about their offensiveness...

Feels. Feels a bit one-sided.

 

[RaphaelsRedemption]

Have done. I couldn't think of 5 worst swearwords though. I just ended up thinking of the racial epithets I'm not very fond of.

Also, being Australian, I think we use "bloody" more often here. That's why it appears a few times in my response.

Hope it helps.

Got-Damnit, all you kids with your mothahfuckin' surveys. [I was just trying to fit in!]

Anyhow, I cuss frequently and often because they are mothahfuckin' vocabulary enhancers. Mostly kidding, mostly. >_>

 

[Old_Teabags]

i filled out your survey now where's my toaster?

 

[MagunBFP]

Looked at your survey then decided against doing, demographically I was confused... I'm 30 so am I 18-30 or 30-50 I wasn't sure.

Then there what are your top 5 what are our bottom 5, if your paper is about peoples reactions to swearing then you're not really getting getting much info, you're just getting a list of swear words that people know/use. You would get alot better data about reactions by asking people to rate a list of words from 1 to 10 on how good, bad or indifferent the word makes them feel.

 

[Buck Wilde]

As others have said, had a somewhat difficult time thinking of the five swear words I considered to be the worst. I feel like racial slurs are likely the worst but I didn't want that to be all of what I put down. Also how no one has posted this or at least something featuring this man makes me

Spoiler

 

[Robot Number V]

Your survey is a little broken. I don't really have a preference between racial and sexual slurs. There should have been a "Equally Offensive" option.

Also, it worth noting that the concept of swearing is inherently fucking insane, as the avoidance of these words is exactly what makes them stand out and gives them a deeper meaning, which is what causes us to avoid them in the first place. It makes no sense.
