Russia and Swearing

Noctis · Before February 2015

There are always words to replace swearing.

Different55 · Before February 2015

No there aren't.

And some phrases with swearing have no non-swearing equivalent. Like bada**. You can't say that without the swear word unless you don't mind sounding ridiculous.

I usually end up having to avoid saying that phrase entirely just because it has a swear word.

@D55: Actually he is right. At least it depends on how you interpret it. The words which are swear words, just as slang, will change with time. Our generation uses words like swag, my moms generation used words like groovy. Out generation finds it socially acceptable to see half naked ladies of public TV, my moms says when TV first came out when she was a kid, showing film beneath the hips was not socially acceptable. What is and isn't appropriate changes with time. People can either accept the change, or live in denial that society has not changed.

The dictionary is a very large library of words.

The f-bomb is a term of slang to describe something relative to something so cursed and crazy, or in offensive terms, used to describe someone or something really really dumb or really really... something. F*** you = Curse you. "What the f*** is that" = "What the devil is that" F***ing nutbrain = Foolish nutbrain, et cetera. Find a swear word that does not have an alternative.

Are we talking about the same post? I was replying to the person directly above me.

Yes. You must have interpreted it differently than I. I was only saying that words that are good and bad will change with different time periods. I think you interpreted it as, not all 201st century swear words can be interchanged with other words that don't seem 'bad'. But yea. Same difference.

Kind of a deep interpretation for a seemingly simple sentence.

Philosophy and literary theory have made me question everything

Google isn't always credible.

There's nothing wrong with "bad" words unless you're using them to insult someone.

Not only is this pointless in nature, but also a needless oppression of freedom of speech. Restricting freedom of speech is a big deal; you need good reasons to do it. Otherwise, you end up with countries like N. Korea where people are afraid to question the awesome might of Kim Jong Un.

Koto · Before February 2015

There is no good reason to take away freedom of speech or expression.

"+100500" the youtube channel I talked about earlier edited a disclaimer on all his youtube videos that they could be violent but he doesn't give a **** (18+)
This proves that swearing in Russia is banned on youtube as well unless you put a disclaimer. Meredith, your suspicion was right.

iPwner · Before February 2015
