F'in Offensive Swearing - Toyota Yaris Forums

evooo · 09-27-2007, 01:43 AM

Hey guys,

I am intrigued into the level of sensitivity americans have on swearing/offensive words.

In Australia, we have access to all things American - songs (duh), radio programs, tv series etc. So much so, that I feel a lot of american culture rubs off on us.

My intrigue comes with the american perception of what is considered swearing - what is now everyday common speech, or what words still need to be bleep'd out.

Obviously the derogatory ones are still bleeped, but I notice that the word 'ass' is bleeped on songs.

Some things I hear on aussie morning radio - peak time when parents send their kids to school - ass/arse, butt (not swearing), penis, vagina, brazilian (not really swearing), and yes, shit. Actually, 'shit' is used quite frequently on prime-time aussie radio and tv.

no F word yet, but we seem to be getting there. Do you find any aussies living where you are swearing more than you're used to in everyday conversation?

How's it over there? I'm not doing any sorta research or thesis, just trying to get a perspective. :)

Cheers!

I'm not sensitive about it at all. I have a very fowl mouth.

I often say things like, "Jesus Fucking Christ"

I actually have. Don't ask me why.

Ferret_san · 09-27-2007, 03:57 AM

LOL....as an aside, I once wrote a proposal document that was spell checked, peer reviewed, internally reviewed and distributed to exec management for comment.

It passed all of the above and was eventually distributed out to clients......with a small typo.

Everywhere I used the word 'account' [all 87 occurrances] I misspelt it by leaving out the 'o'.... <sigh>
