Again, you can read my posts or not; it's unlikely I will revert to the profane to express myself, although not always. This is NOT a warrantee--just some random thoughts. Thanks, folks.

As for the origin of that evil F word, I'm inclined to a theory I really haven't found elsewhere.
How do you spell the word for "words that sound like what they mean"?
Onomatapia? That ain't right, and I don't know that I can get close enough right now to look it up in the dictionary to see how to spell it.
Anyhow, it doesn't take to much to figure out the origin of the word "piss", for example, unless you're seriously deaf.
Now sometime when you're gettin' a little lovin, and things are gettin' pretty juicy, try to hold down the moans and groans, and if the bed or whatever you're on at the time isn't too squeaky or crunchy, listen for the little sounds you may hear...

I suppose one could take a word from each list and apply it towards someone else. It would end up basically the same as calling someone a fucked up asshole. Depends on how you take it you sheep biting, unmuzzled, harpy! Ouch-sting!
I don't mind the use of cuss words. I certainly don't believe it has a whole lot to do with the intellegence of a person that uses them. I believe one could use the Cafe for a prime example of that! Many here are extremely intellegent and still utter fuck on occasion.
I also notice how a group of people react when 'fuck', 'motherfuckin', 'let's fuck', the list goes on, when used in a song. It's like people suddenly go wild! The attitude of the crowd changes with whoops and whistles. Maybe the 'fuck' genes kick in! Strange huh?

boring old cuss words. ho hum.

Why is it that few people pepper their conversations with creative cussing? It's much more entertaining, and shows that when yer fussin' yer delightful cussin' is a sign a somewhat higher intelligence. Don't know how?
Don't be such a brainless twit. Even filthy swine deserve a little mud now and again. Not every donkey's p'toot is capable of lower, much less higher reasoning. Even a poltroon such as you (you know who you are) is capable of learning a few creative metaphors.
   And, dear intelligent Catters, for a truly stubborn horses' hind end, use the art of "Irish Diplomacy." Read P. G. Wodehouse--he was a master of the art. For you uneducated buffoons, "Irish Diplomacy" is the art if telling a man where to go so that he looks forward to the trip!

Now, try inventing some of your own non deleteable and colorful metaphors.

Profanity and "bathroom talk" (including continuous references to various physical functions, secretions, fluids etc) never fails to turn me off. WHen I come across it here on Mudcat, I usually just skip that post. After 25 years of raising 3 verbose and energetic boys singlehandedly, believe me, my tolerance level and/or any inclination to see foul language as harmless, fun or funny is worn down to nuthin. NO doubt some will consider this highly intolerant and offensive, but so sorry -- only the linguistically, developmentally and/or socially challenged use profanity or bathroom talk on a regular basis. IMO.

The Japanese have an interesting take on "foul language" ... Apparently they approach it cautiously because of beliefs in "Kotodama" or 'word spirits':

Kotodama appear when spoken, written, or even thought and they can easily be "tainted" with ill intentions and evil spirits. Even today, Japanese avoid words that imply harm to keep away tainted evil Kotodama. This, of course, can be reversed to bring about harm to someone or something, and common everyday words are used profanely in this case.

HA! Mudcat is probably just swarming with 'em by now. Hey, maybe we should hire an exorcist, Kotodammit all!    :-D

For one thing, it is only in the 20th century that words formed from acronyms start to appear with any regularity.

Here's an excerpt from Snopes' study:

"ccording to the alt.usage.english FAQ:


[Fuck] is a very old word, recorded in English since the 15th century (few acronyms predate the 20th century), with cognates in other Germanic languages. The Random House Historical Dictionary of American Slang (Random House, 1994, ISBN 0-394-54427-7) cites Middle Dutch fokken = "to thrust, copulate with"; Norwegian dialect fukka = "to copulate"; and Swedish dialect focka = "to strike, push, copulate" and fock = "penis". Although German ficken may enter the picture somehow, it is problematic in having e-grade, or umlaut, where all the others have o-grade or zero-grade of the vowel.
AHD1, following Pokorny, derived "feud", "fey", "fickle", "foe", and "fuck" from an Indo-European root peig2 = "hostile"; but AHD2 and AHD3 have dropped this connection for "fuck" and give no pre-Germanic etymon for it. Eric Partridge, in the 7th edition of Dictionary of Slang and Unconventional English (Macmillan, 1970), said that "fuck" "almost certainly" comes from the Indo-European root *peuk- = "to prick" (which is the source of the English words "compunction", "expunge", "impugn", "poignant", "point", "pounce", "pugilist", "punctuate", "puncture", "pungent", and "pygmy"). Robert Claiborne, in The Roots of English: A Reader's Handbook of Word Origin (Times, 1989) agrees that this is "probably" the etymon. Problems with such theories include a distribution that suggests a North-Sea Germanic areal form rather than an inherited one; the murkiness of the phonetic relations; and the fact that no alleged cognate outside Germanic has sexual connotations.

In plain English, this means the term's origin is likely Germanic, even though no one can as yet point to the precise word it came down to us from out of all the possible candidates. Further, a few scholars hold differing pet theories outside of the Germanic origin one, theories which appear to have some holes in them. "

Thanks 'spaw and frogprince. Since we ARE taling about this, I have "heard" one of the etiologies of the "F" word was that it was an abbreviation for Fornication Under Consent of the King. Probably a "urban legend"--but it was some British thing. Since we have that nice Anglo-mix here, maybe someone can disabuse me of this once an for all.

And like you I'm involved with several other forums where language and even the threat of a personal attack is zapped immediately. The software zaps most language and the mods zap the creative he!! and the like. One of those is one of the web's largest, an autoracing forum, and believe it or not, I'm a mod there. There are 18 separate forums and most of them divided into several segments. No one argues over the censoring....it is the way it is. If you do want to argue, you take it up privately with the management/admin staff. If you decide to start a thread or make a post about it, it gets zapped....and there are rarely any explanations. Usually a warning is enough to stop most things.

Ron: hoisted on the pitard of my own verbage. Well done, sir. For the record I really didn't intend this thread to wander off as it has--and mea culpa for listing MG among my "characters" on Mudcat. Just came to mind. I was really more interested in my observation of language...uh..."customs" here. To that end...

Maybe at least those of you who subscribe to Lenny Bruce's defense of the profane will agree that common usage diminishes the impact of the word (?). Again, I'm really not trying to be condescending here...not the point. I take part in a couple of other forums (and no, they ain't for hoity-toity holy rollers or something) where anyone using such language is edited (yes, CENSORED!!!) and gently warned at least a couple of times (usually by "mods" and PM's-maybe on a thread) to cease and desist. If they don't, their membership is terminated. Obviously, that ISN'T the case here, so I chuckle sometimes when I read some of the outrage over censorship here. Seems to me it's pretty free-wheelin'.

If this is coming off as whining, or complaining, it isn't meant to. I simply stated my personal preferece to avoid it when possible, especially when I write. However, yas are all free to do as ya please-free speech and all that. It was just an "observation" from a relative new-comer. Guess I whacked the hornets' nest, eh? I'll be more circumspect in the future. We can move on, if ya like...

Annonymouse--"a stand-up guy" was a direct quote --from you--describing "Martin". A 'stand-up guy' does not need to denigrate through profanity rather than make any attempt to defend his position through facts or logic. As long as you understand that, we are on the same page.

Perhaps writing words like this and expecting it to be seen as humourous is expecting too much?

The use of the F word can be funny - but perhaps not in writing?

Many stand-up comedians have used the word to good comic effect, when used sparingly but perhaps too many lesser ones have used it too often to get a cheap laugh?

Some now use it practically ever other word in their act - limiting the comic effect of the word and to the general detriment of the performance.

Perhaps it was a stage - like that in literature - that needed to happen but that time has possibly passed?

Very sensible comments on your part, Anonny Mouse. I see no reason why you should immediately jump on the "Let's all get together and condemn this one person whom we have all agreed is so terrible" bandwagon the moment you join a group that is new to you...nor do I see why you should engage in a vendetta against him when he has not attacked you personally, just because other people choose to for their own personal reasons, based on their past encounters with him.

I see no reason why you should have your integrity questioned either for being civil to him...or friendly to him...since he has given you no cause to do otherwise at this point.

Sounds like a pretty elitist kind of thing going on if you are questioned for such behaviour merely because you won't conform to other people's anger against Martin.

I also disagree with Martin's penchant for talking abusively to various people (same as I disagree with Clinton Hammond's penchant for the same)...but I have no personal reason to go on a vendetta against him. He has been respectful and reasonable to me also...(I gather because my personal style or attitude doesn't happen to bug him.) We do disagree fundamentally on various political issues, but it doesn't seem to result in personal rancour between us.

I sometimes agree with Martin, sometimes don't, and that's okay.

Matter of fact, if I agree or disagree with something anyone here says I will say so...regardless of whether or not I happen to like or dislike them. I can't stand Clinton Hammond, but if he says something I agree with, I will state that agreeement. I don't believe in automatically ALWAYS disagreeing with people just because I don't like them. What's the use in that? It indicates no ability to think, but only the ability to emotionally react on the basis of a grudge. That's what dogs do. Once they hate someone, they're ALWAYS out to get him, regardless. It's nothing for a human being to be proud of, to act that way.

Ron: "Annonymouse--your "Puritanical" attitude toward vulgarity"?--you must not be the most observant person to grace Mudcat. Who do you suppose is by far the foremost exponent of vulgarity to denigrate others? (as opposed to humor, which is how Spaw uses it). Why, it's your buddy "Martin"--as you, as a member, can easily ascertain by checking his record--which you might possibly want to do before defending him as a "stand-up guy". As you probably know, it is in fact possible to stand up for beliefs--even aggressively--without the vulgarity your friend seems to think is necessary."

You'll get no argument from me on that...and I have nicely (I think) pointed that out to him on a couple of occasions in posts. And I wouldn't have any problem stating publically--whether he cares or not--I don't think it's necessary. I'd wager he doesn't speak like that to his wife, or son in London, or his business associates. In all honesty, I think he's a bright guy, who would appear even brighter (IMO) if he didn't resort to that kind of stuff. However, I have no control over that.

As for being "my buddy" I really don't know him, other than his name is made-up (as is mine for my own reasons). I respect his seriousness about his faith tradition...as for some of the other things, I wasn't around for them, which isn't to deny they happened. But when I first started posting here, I made it clear I was a "tabula rasa" on personalities here; I was not, by nature, a confrontational person most of the time, I have a thick skin (and head, some would maintain), and I simply tried to treat him the same way I'd treat any of you. Now, if he...or someone else here-started in on me for no good reason, I would not hesitate to call them to task on it, whether they cared or not. I'm not some "wimp" incapable of mounting a reasonably cogent defense of myself, or some of my opinions.

I know that a lot of you have axes to grind with MG. I don't happen to have any, so I'm not dealing with him as though I do. He was respectful enough to me, and while I might agree posts of his were indefensible, I'm not here to defend him, or really anyone else. We happen to share a fondness for the bane of some of your existences--the Kingston Trio. So, I figure it won't hurt to be civil. For me...or him. Frankly, I think he's a better person then he lets on here. Why that is, only he would know. So, I "spoke my piece," and I'll just leave it at that. Y'all think or do what you wish.

The Chief is waiting for you, Spaw, in the world of spirit. Yes, just shortly after you pass through those shining gates, expecting now to receive your heavenly reward for all the good works you did while on Earth, you will be startled to hear a familiar snorting and grunting sound...you will turn in shock to see that gigantic porcine form (now sporting little angel wings) bearing down on you inexorably and proving that pigs DO fly...drooling in anticipation of the vile act he is about to perform on you, his beady little red eyes glowing with unfathomable lust as he siezes you in an unbreakable grip and...

Annonymouse--your "Puritanical" attitude toward vulgarity"?--you must not be the most observant person to grace Mudcat. Who do you suppose is by far the foremost exponent of vulgarity to denigrate others? (as opposed to humor, which is how Spaw uses it). Why, it's your buddy "Martin"--as you, as a member, can easily ascertain by checking his record--which you might possibly want to do before defending him as a "stand-up guy". As you probably know, it is in fact possible to stand up for beliefs--even aggressively--without the vulgarity your friend seems to think is necessary.

The one thing I can't stand is when people use the word c&%$##&^%(r.

That's just terrible, in my opinion. Such people should be &%$*%ed, the rotten *^%&%^$ers!

Thanks, Anonny Mouse. I remember your first post here (at least under that screen name). You were sent here by "Breezy" of St Albans, when he was busking.

So no accordions, huh? Well, no-one's perfect, and I'm sure your heart is in the right place.
