Spike ,'Potential'
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Hey, MM, I swear a lot, too! I think that MOST people don't because there is a weird cultural expectation that it's not what "nice" people do. It's holdover, but I think it's still a part of American mores. Swearing is still routinely bleeped on TV and the FCC brings fines for it. Kids aren't allowed to do it in school or writers in newspapers. Why it's such a big issue, I don't know.
FTR--I swear and many people I know and respect do too.
Okay, I have gone bowling, and enjoyed it.
I did used to own a pickup truck.
Never had the Camaro, or blocks, or, until recently, a lawn on which to put them.
I tried chewin t'baccy once and it damn near made me puke.
So, contrary to what I thought, I guess I am just a low-class redneck yokel.
I may as well scream "FUCK!" at the top of my lungs and piss in the potted plant in the lobby. I obviously cain't be 'spected ta unnerstand no inside terlet!
What connotation does fanny have in Britain?
It's the kind-of-dirty kidsy word for vagina.
To my knowledge, cunt is to us, what fanny is to Brits. Yeah? hahah-cunty crosspost.
It's the kind-of-dirty kidsy word for vagina.
Well, that's just backwards.
Well, huh. Must be why it's one of the few British cusswords I haven't heard on Torchwood, that I can recall.
It's not really a curse word, I'd say. Like 'crappy' isn't a curseword.
It's fucking snowing....
Ah. I get the kidsy aspect of it. Which would explain why the students blushed and giggled.
So, it's just lame. An even better reason for not being used on Torchwood.
