Yes it is a word.
But curse words are linguistic features of a language. So is slang. One could look at as using all the tools in their shed rather than limiting themselves.
lol I was about to give you a thumbs up too but na. What you doing? trying to take my last word away?
Just showing you that it is a real word. I can forgive you though since neither of us first language is English ![]()
lol My first and only language is english. lol cheers mate.
lol I than I had assumed your possible location wrong because you specifically mentioned your religion.
not an issue.
Then comes the next question how is everyone supposed to know what is offensive to everyone without having to walk on eggshells, since no one can read minds. Besides knowing the forum language is English so that rules out all the English swear words but is it acceptable to replace an English swear word with a none-English swear word?
I offer an apology to everyone offended by my post on this subject.
People come to the forums looking for answers for their computing problems. To assume language is or is not offensive for others to understood is not the real issue. The forums are here to assist and guide people in the correct direction to fix issues beyond their control. Itās a learning process for everyone here. Amplifying emotional distress in vulgar means doesnāt address the problems that need to be understood and to be fixed.
If I caused anyone some grief, I do apologize.
Rich;)
Treat it like you are talking in front of a class of children (not calling any one a child) if I am around children I filter a lot of what I say and how I act.
I donāt know how to talk to children because I donāt talk to children because that would give off wrong vibes in this day and age if I did do that.
As I said treat it as if. Example, if you were hypothetically a teacher of a class would you swear in front of them? I know I wouldnāt
Mostly behave like at an offline, public, social event with strangers. Of course nobody can read the mind of individuals, but the ground rules for the group are usually clear. Just be normalā
.
If someone understands the spirit of the rule then this is just gaming the system with technicalities. The answer should be obvious.
It would depend, saying shit in front of children isnāt seen as offensive here. I wouldnāt go beyond that though with children, unless some teenager started swearing at me.
Iāve been to social events where itās normal just to use curse words through your language and people wonāt look strange at you as long as itās not every other word but mixed into it every now and then, so it boils down to culture again and where you are at. I know how to behave. Iāll just pretend Iām Iām one of those woke people whoās afraid to offend every single person they come in contact with and will get offended about everything someone else says just to keep up the role of pretending to be a woke person.
Last thing. About the off-topic section. Does that rule apply to art such as standup comedy and music, if people were want to share their favorite music in existing topic or if they wanted to share clips of their favorite standup comedian? If so the topic where people share music needs to get moderated and other similar topics where people share memes as well.
Yes I admit I am guilty of this, I am trying to be a bit more aware of what I share in these threads now as I can see how quite a few of the songs and some of the memes I have shared could offend.
Okay now back to having fun with Linux everyone! ![]()

I was just scrolling back to try and find what you said and why you were apologising and I found out the reason Keybreak got suspended. I didnāt know that reason, just had noticed on his avatar it said suspended.
Anyways, Rich, itās always good to apologise I reckon even if you arenāt in the wrong lol. But in my opinion you didnāt need to.
lol though I donāt think you were talking me so maybe Iāll just be quiet.
lol you should meet my mate⦠the REAL 30yrs old virgin.
lol I swear I am going to log out after this and shut my mouth lol but I just gotta say this.
Iām sorry but⦠Naaaa mate lol!
Canāt do it. US government lol what a joke. too ridiculous canāt even begin to say. bastions of the civilised world hahahaha for real Iām holding back from friggin swearing right now.
Make laws for everyone and donāt abide by them themselves.
Capitalism. itās all fake, from the roots to the leaves. The ideology of capitalism is based on falshood, propagates falsehood in the name of falsehood to selfishly gain her own interests not at the sacrifice of others but at the sacrifice of innocents lives.
lol big apologies if I spoke out of line but, well I said it.
Pretty sure I needed to apologise there.
