WTF? is that swearing?
$Zero
when you use the acronym "WTF", are you swearing?
is it any different than writing it this way:
what the fuck?
is it considered less vulgar to use WTF?
in the places where the word fuck is considered highly inappropriate,
is the acronym WTF viewed with the same disdain?
in other words, would you get in the same kind of "trouble" for
uttering those three letters in a row as you would for using the word
fuck?
for instance, is the acronym WTF banned from being displayed on prime
time television?
would a station be fined for airing those letters, either written or
spoken?
anyway, i just thought i'd remind you how utterly fucking ridiculous
life on planet earth is.
"it's not just TV
it's fucking HBO"
-$Zero...
every fucking swear word from every fucking episode (in order)

The (few) people who don't know WTF WTF means won't realize you're
cussin'.
What the fuck's the difference? You planning to become a goodboy
sometime soon? Let me know, I'll mark the historic date on my
calendar. After we're all dead it'll be an archaeological artifact
beyond value. Uh huh.

So then are you? You can always say you meant "what the fudge?" or
summat.
People who say crap instead of shit crack me up. Like there's a

Ah yes, when caught out, backpedal.

As you should realize, it is possible to use non-obscene words to
disgust the reader or listener to the point of nausea. People who
attempt to be language-nannies should have their assholes turned
inside out with small fishhooks then fed to them, fried in lard. But
then that's just my opinion, I'm not large on nannies in any form.
[Note: Picking English nits in a writer's group is an assist to the
chucklehead and should in no way be confuzzled with nannyism.]

I don't care, but many people do. I know peeps who frown on
"swearing," but are totally fine with crap, freakin', dang, etc. I
find that weirdly interesting.

well, if there were no swear words, think how unfair that would be to

there's an upside to everything, i guess.

It's just my opinion, and I can see the other side, but I'm fine with
*non-government* censorship of certain things, such as Holocaust
denial, hate speech directed at ethnic groups or gays, speech inciting
violence, etc. It's a good thing to avoid giving such speech a forum
in which to promulgate. As far as the government, they get to censor
military stuff and ... that's pretty much it. This is if I made teh
rules, of course.

Turn on your TV or go to a movie. If a movie contains just two or
three fucks, it's PG13. If it's a shitstorm of fucks, it's R. Fuck has
been used so often, not even old grannie can be offended by it
anymore.
Fuck, or WTF, have the same shock force as 'gosh' or 'gee
whillikers'.
Take out all the fucks, and 'The Sopranos' would be about one season
long.

I try to just step over dogshit without bothering to scold it aside
from maybe saying "eeeew, stinky!". Ya don't have to be a nanny to
keep it offen yer shooz.

WTF do we need a military for, anyway? Oh yeah, I remember now, 99%
of the USA wouldn't know what to do with a gun should they encounter
one. Prolly because of the gun-nannies, go figure. Funny thing about
career military though, that seems to be where the military juntas
come from, can you imagine that?
Yeah, yeah, our neighbors don't always make nice. Pfffft, without a
military it's just folks, pass out pitchforks and call it good, a few
more years all those third-world nations are gonna look like plums
from our point of view.
I'd like to see our (admittedly better than the average except for the
stupidity) government run public businesses at a profit and distrubute
the cash to the citizenry -- things like railroads, auto
manufacturing, highways, airlines, telephone companies, stuff like
that, those businesses "too big to let fail". Maybe it would keep the
sonsabitches out of trouble for a while. And I'd like to see
political parties banned, they're worse than fucking useless football
fanclubs, most of them idiots don't know the meaning of the word
"issue" and think it means either dividends or something comes outa
yer butt.

You be in for it now or summat, innit dipwad. You're like Superman
wearing a sandwich board says "Kryptonite is my weakness". Dumbfuck,
innit. Or summat. Maybe if we all team up we can get your asshole so
puckered that it goes "pop" and you disappear into it, innit.

Some civic-minded soul will, sooner or later, pick it up so the blind guy
doesn't step in it.

> WTF? is that swearing?
Of course it's swearing, but who gives a fuck? I don't hesitate to say
"fuck," as I've just illustrated here, so when I say WTF it's just a
shortened version of "fuck." It saves time. We're talking acronyms here.
Take "Who gives a flying fuck" as an example. Even though my keyboarding
skills are lightning-fast, it takes about 1 second to type "who gives a
flying fuck," while typing "WGAFF" takes maybe a millisecond. Every
fraction of time counts in this day and age!
Aside from cussing, consider the time it takes to type, "I know you are
but what am I?" Not only does it save time to pound out IKYABWAI, it
looks cooler. Like the person is "in the Net know." Or something.
Any other cussing questions will need to be referred to my agent.

Oh, now that attitude just fucking sucks the big one hon. It's why
people eat a couple pop-tarts and call it good instead of going for
the eggs benedict. You gotta take your time, shake your ass, and
curse with style. Time should be wasted on the things that count, not
carefully hurried to an early grave.
Grand Mal
Yeah, that's another analogy, but not all dogs shit in the park.
I, too, deplore censorship but not quite as much as I deplore bigotry and
hate-speech.
