Sparkrunner Posted August 15, 2017 Report Share Posted August 15, 2017 Sometimes I say "What in the world?" or "What in the world is going on here?" This is an exclamation, not an expletive. When someone replaces a curse with another word, they are still cursing. I believe the difference is exclamation versus expletive. I believe people curse because A ) That's how they grew up. B ) They want to be rebellious. C ) They want to seem tough. People who curse because of reason B or C are more at fault, individually, than A. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know quite a few people who work in research and STEM fields, and while they obviously operate with proper decorum in presentations and official functions, their intellect does not make them any less likely to swear. The idea that swearing is a sign of low intelligence is hilarious to me. The entire point of having a wide vocabulary is to choose the correct word for the given situation and desired meaning. Swear words have a proper place. Eliminating them is not a sign of intellect, only arbitrary self restriction.

Otherwise it's logically sound from your point of view, imo I always enjoy this topic Double post. Thought I was editing the last one, but I guess not.

Draginon Posted August 15, 2017 Report Share Posted August 15, 2017 1 hour ago, Calderis said: Hell is a swear word? It's such a minor curse it doesn't count depending who you ask. In England when you say bloody hell its the bloody part that's the curse if I recall correctly. But it's mainly seen as a curse word for children since it is seen as childish to use it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tesh Posted August 16, 2017 Report Share Posted August 16, 2017 (edited) When 95% of your inside jokes with @Cel (I reference her a LOT) are Cosmere related, 3% are from girls camp, 1% percussion related, and 1% completely random. Or when you go crazy when you realize the brand of your family's new (2nd hand, but new to us) car is Sel. No joke.

Calderis Posted August 16, 2017 Report Share Posted August 16, 2017 When between reading and sharding, your bedtime continually creeps farther and farther back, even though you're waking up at the same time.

Borio Singaldi Posted August 16, 2017 Report Share Posted August 16, 2017 When you find such a similarity between the Herald Nale and Inspector Javert that you start creating a parody of the Les Miserables song Stars from Nale's perspective, but then you get to the lyrics "the flame, the sword" and realize that it reminds you of Lightsong's nightmares instead. When you wish at least one of Sanderson's books could be made into a musical. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
