What is YOUR favorite expletive?
 
This video is pretty damn funny, but is NOT safe for work (or for Mormons *cough*) , at least not without headphones. Lots of naughty words. Here's the story behind the clip.

So, what is YOUR favorite expletive? I've always been partial to "Fuck" myself, but "Shit" has a very special place in my heart, too. And "Damn" is so damned reliable. Not to mention "Ass-insert noun here"... hmm... swear words are like my children, it feels wrong to pick a favorite. They're all wonderful in their own way.

quzah 03-12-2004 03:17 PM

You're right. There are a number of handy ones that apply to various sitiations. However, I usually find myself chaining them together, rather than just using one. Like four or five of them. :D I'll leave the specifics or variations as an exercise to the reader.

Yes, combos are definitely the preferred delivery method. Multiple profanities with random nouns and adjectives added to taste:

"Christ on a cracker, this fuckweed is a slowass."

The "fuckweed" bit I picked up from my wife. She's such a bad influence. *cough* Hi honey!

blue 03-12-2004 03:36 PM

DUMBASS! Hands down.

I stopped saying goddamnit years ago out of respect for anyone within range, but it's still the first thing that pops into my head when I get REALLY pissed.

Pokeyfuck! when I'm driving.

I had a friend in high school that could string togethor so many cuss words in one sentence it was hilarious.

I grew up in the US Navy so I by nature am one foul mouthed son of a bitch. Not in public tho, again its a respect others thing. Plus it's just dumb sounding when you don't do it right. Take it from a pro.

Clodfobble 03-12-2004 03:54 PM

...swear words are like my children, it feels wrong to pick a favorite.

Then I have twins: asspirate and assclown.

Brigliadore 03-12-2004 04:35 PM

Re: What is YOUR favorite expletive?
 
Yes Fuckweed is mine, Fuckstick is another one I use on occasion. I have a strange habit of combining the first swear word that pops in my head with the first non swear word to pop into my head. The result is some strange combos and often times a "what the fuck" look from my husband.

godwulf 03-12-2004 04:41 PM

Any swear word that comes out of Janeane Garofolo's mouth is hilarious. She has the unique ability to make even words that aren't swear words sound like they are.

But personally, the phrase that I find most satisfying in most circumstances is "Fuck me!" Or, if extraordinarily provoked, "Fuck me blind!"

"Fuck" is definitely my favorite, but I've been a big fan of "fucking idiot" lately. Like this...

That Jimbo...what a fucking idiot.

jinx 03-12-2004 06:17 PM

1. Fuck(ing,er,head)

OnyxCougar 03-12-2004 06:29 PM

I like "Fuck me Runnin'!!"

Beestie 03-12-2004 06:37 PM

Well there's expletives and then there's name-calling. My favorite name to call someone (who, trust me, richly deserves it) is "DumbFuck" - I got that from the Godfather when I was 11 or so)

When I, proverbially speaking, stub my toe, its hard to beat a carefully and slowly encunciated: Son-Of-A BITCH!.

But I carry around an entire duffel bag of expletives and sometimes have trouble deciding :-)

Brigliadore 03-12-2004 07:17 PM

OC your fuck me runnin saying reminded me of something my mom always says. She says "fuck me purple" when she makes a mistake or injures her self in some way.
A few times I have thought about bringing up the gross factor with that saying but often times she is mad and so I choose to say nothing.

warch 03-12-2004 07:25 PM

for persons, generally inaudible yet heartfelt: Fuck you, you fuckin fuck.

Don't you have to add an "eh" to the end of that in Minnesota, warchie?

kerosene 03-12-2004 07:55 PM

Perth tends to use "fucktard" alot when he is driving. ("Get out of my way, fucktard!") I find the fuck combinations kind of funny. Once in a while a good "fuckity fuck" is in order.

Maybe this should be a seperate thread.But how do you respond when the going gets tough?Everybody is so quick with their finger.But to me that shows such a lack of originality or imagination.If I'm pissed enough,what I do is show my hand pushing up and down towards my groin as if to suggest....uh,never mind.

Kitsune 03-12-2004 11:02 PM

"Fucktard", as in "That guy just ran the light! What a fucktard!" has been a recent favorite.

Edit: On seeing Cases' post after having posted my own, I have to agree that this term works really well when behind the wheel and not in many other situations for some reason.

wolf 03-13-2004 12:32 AM

I've been getting a lot of milage out of "fuckwit," lately.

"Fuckin' A" is a clear fave.

and "Shitstorm" tends to be a real attention getter. You don't hear it a lot so it's nicely effective in the right context.

This is fun. It's like that questionnaire at the end of "Inside the Actor's Studio" on Bravo.

dar512 03-13-2004 01:12 AM

Used to be shit. Since I had kids, it is now dagnabbit. Yes, it's true, I curse like Yosemite Sam. ;)

All seriousness aside, you'd be surprised at how well this substitute works. There are times when you just have to say something or you'll explode. Dagnabbit, particularly if you stretch out the first syllable, works for me.

staceyv 03-13-2004 08:05 AM

i like to insert "fucking" into the middle of a two or more syllable word. ex: i forgot to add the gra-fuckin-tuity to the check, what a great new year's fuckin eve, i have to work, etc.
but "shit" is just so versatile, i guess it's my favorite...shit can be a verb, noun, adjective, and more. it can stand alone or be combined with any number of words. it can replace a word you can't remember, it can be good, it can be bad. it's the shit.

Undertoad 03-13-2004 08:18 AM

Good point, the fucking "insertion" so to speak. Old friend of mine used to say "A T and fucking T", which for some reason I found totally hilarious.

It's, like, subtle. Plus it changes the meaning. If you say "I got a fucking Sony TV" it would seem like you were unhappy to get it. But you could say "I got myself a Sony Fuckin' TV" and by that you'd mean it was the greatest thing ever.

Quzah.

The purpose of expletives, is to convey attitude or feeling. Donald did it best.:)

Elspode 03-13-2004 09:06 AM

Varying degrees of agitation call for varying degrees of profanity.

In a minimum expletive situation, I tend to use "goddamn".

A more harsh situation brings out the usage of "son of a bitch".

Trying times cause me to say "shit".

Real traumatic occurances require me to invoke "fuck" in all of its permutations, up to and incluiding "motherfucker" and "fuck me running, goddamn son of a bitch shit!"

lumberjim 03-13-2004 09:08 AM

I've said it before, and I'll say it again:

FUCKSHITDAMNPISSHELL

Elspode 03-13-2004 09:09 AM

I have a friend who uses that same string, only with 'snotwhorebooger' thrown in.

lumberjim 03-13-2004 09:10 AM

My father, who i consider to be the authority on cussing, had a favorite:

usually bellowed in a red faced fit of rage, or agony after thumping his thumb with a hammer:

"Shit, Piss and Corruption!!"

Elspode 03-13-2004 09:24 AM

That's actually rather eloquent, and makes you stop and think. Now I feel like I'm not cursing creatively enough.

i suspect that my dad's phrase came out of his time wrenching tanks in the army. probably dropped one of those 4' crescent wrenches on his toe

mrnoodle 03-13-2004 11:39 AM

When I get really cussing mad, my cuss words tend to not make sense. I'll string them together, but incoherently, e.g. "fuckin shit-ass piece of fuck" is popular right now.

The cuss word for when I'm really not cussing is "fuckity-fuck fuck fuck"

blue 03-13-2004 12:59 PM

Just remembered my wife says shitfingers when she gets real ticked, no idea where that came from.

Warch is from Minnesota? Wherebouts Warch? I'm about 45 minutes from the border, nice freezing, sleet, hail mush crap we're getting today, eh, hoser?

Early on when I was teaching in an elementary school I let a "shit" pop out. Let me rephrase...I let the word "shit" pop out. Not too loud. I dropped a box full of stuff or something. I just remember two wide-eyed girls in earshot- 9 year olds. I just put my finger to my mouth like a shhhhh with a wink, and they cracked up. Its hard to retrain your mouth to be G rated.

phillybilly 03-16-2004 10:08 AM

Two simple ones...
 
'Jesus tap dancing Christ AND 'What in blue fuck are you doing!'


The first, Thank yout o Eric Cartman, our good little piggy from South Park


The second I could have SWORN I heard someplace, but a friend of mine said his grandfather used to say it all the time when he was a kid and his grandpop was pissed off.....


Oh, ass goblin was a REAL close third.....

Ahahahaha! The image that I got from that....LOL!!

Oh, this is a great thread. I honestly don't know if I have a favorite, but here are a few of my choice "cussin' out" words/phrases:

1) MotherFUCK! (said mostly out of sheer frustration)
2) Goddamn or goddamnit! (or, as in "da hood": GOTdamn!, as in "You must be out yo' GOTdamned mind!")
3) Shiiiiit! (pronounced like, "sheeeeeiiit")

I suppose those are my top 3. You have to actually hear me say #'s 2 and 3 to get the full effect. ;)

Combos:

1) Motherfuckingotdamn!
2) (inserting in the middle of a phrase): "Oh gotdamned well!" ~another one that's better when heard~

Here's one made up by a good friend of mine. She said she gets what she calls the "fuckshits" when she hurts herself. For instance, she banged her hand up against a car door, and immediately she starts muttering, "fuckshitfuckshitfuckshit!"

Funny ones:
Assfuck, assmunch, asshat (thanks Cellar!), assface.

Words that I use when around folks you know do not swear (like my entire family), or when you're just not sure:

1) Fudgebucket!
2) Dang!
3) son-of-a-baby! (any word with "b" will do)
4) Dangnabbit!
5) shoot!
6) shucks!
7) freakin' (as in "big freakin' deal!")

Oh man. This reminded me of a time when I was about 12 years old. My friends and I were playing in the neighborhood, and for the life of me, I can't remember what happened to make me say this, but I came out of my face with, "Shit!" I immediately regretted it, and my hands shot up to my mouth. There were two older girls (twins, who were notorious for starting trouble) who heard me, and they decided that they were going to tell my father. I was practically begging them not to, as they proceded to march to my house around the other side of the block. Bear in mind, the majority of my friends grew up like I did: you just.did.not.swear/cuss, even out of earshot of grownups (and when we did, we would do that cup-your-hand-beside-your-mouth gesture and whisper, like we had a secret or something). Well, the twins approached my house JUST as my Dad was coming home from the grocery store. They quickly told him what happened, and they were just waiting for me to get the beat-down in front of the whole neighborhood. Instead, my Dad calmly asked me if it was true...I said yes (scared out of my mind!), and then he said, "Ok, well just don't do it again". (with the unspoken statement, "Or else the next time, you won't get so lucky"). Goddamn, I was happy as all hell that those whores didn't get their way! LMAO! :D

hot_pastrami 03-16-2004 11:28 AM

I've had the phrase "Christ on a cracker" appear in my inventory recently, but I don't know where it came from. There's also "Jesus H. Christ in a chicken basket," but I knw where I picked that up.... damn astronauts. *cough*

wolf 03-16-2004 01:53 PM

"Jesus H. Motherfucking Christ on a Crutch!!"

"Come Hell, high water, Hitler, or the Second Coming of Christ I'm still going to do this." (I actually stole that one from slang. It was so good, it has become part of my verbal repetoire. And "monkeyfucking around". Stole that one too ...)

"Sucks moosecock" is original me.

Katkeeper 03-16-2004 03:57 PM

"Christ on a crutch" - yes, my roommate used to say that almost every morning interspersed with "bloody shit balls" when she couldn't find something she needed or some other minor irritatin surfaced. She was okay the rest of the day, but mornings were hell. Must have had something to do with blood sugar. I used to tell her that when she got married her husband was in for a hell of a shock - thinking she was demure and proper and then morning would come.....

I didn't want to shock you by letting you know that I may, at some time in my life, have used such phrases as "afro-engineering."

So I went for the moose reference.

richlevy 03-17-2004 01:08 PM

Funny story.

Many years ago, I worked for a company that designed rail/shipping computer systems. One of our clients was very concerned about customers using expletives as passwords, so they requested that we come up with a method of preventing certain words from being used as a password.

I don't think anyone took the project very seriously, so instead of parsing for 'bad words', someone created a table of any of the 'seven dirty words' and their derivatives, including combinations, that could fit into 8 characters and created a searchable table.

I wasn't there for the project, but I stumbled across the table doing maintenance. It had somewhere around two hundred entries.

Once in a while, I would look it up and refer to it if the situation warranted it.:censored:

P.S. No, I didn't save a f***g copy.

phillybilly 03-17-2004 04:04 PM

AH, I rememebr one when I was a kid
 
Not really an expeletive, but some people would say it when really pissed....

'rat shit..bat shit..dirty old twat..sixty-nine assholes tied in a knot...hurray....LIZARD SHIT.....FUCK!!


you would get a little louder toward the end, that is why I capitalized...


Yeah it worked for me:blunt:


but when all else fails, this never does.....:finger:

I got bored, so I made this Random Expletive Insult Generator. Not safe for work, and definitely not safe for the tender of heart.

I quickly made the word lists based on my own extensive profanity collection, and some of the contributions here... and although I didn't spend the time to fill out the lists completely, there are still over 4.5 trillion unique insults that this thing can generate. Yowza.

If anybody has any fun suggestions for this thing, let me know.

lumberjim 03-18-2004 03:56 PM

unbelievable. you'll make "cool site of the day" if you're not careful.

the randomizer seems to favor the word "reprehensible"....but, i am really impressed with your ability. It's a good thing that you use your powers for good, and not evil.
