Profanity in A2K

 
 
Reply Fri 27 Aug, 2004 09:45 am
I have taken it upon myself, for no reason whatsoever, to count (or more accurately, Search for) the number of swear-words of varying strengths appearing in A2K posts. Here is that "List of Sin", in descending order of frequency.

Ass - 2,845
C**p - 2,703
S**t - 1,651
Arse - 306
F*** - 295
Bugger - 238
P***y - 190
C**k - 148
C**t - 11
T**t - 8

This gives a Swear Count Total of 8,491 words. Out of a total (current) number of posts of 837,349, this is an average of 1 swear word every 98 posts.

I suppose the point I might be trying to make here is how much I like the fact that we can discuss any topic under the sun without resorting to swearing. Cool

The list didn't include words such as "shove it" which is shorthand for another saying that is really bad.

That's a point well made, GD. Do you notice that, in the exception of only one post (in which a person posts an atrocious vulgar song,) all the uses of c__t are quotes or related to others' use of that word? The lack of such vicious resort words is another wonderful thing about A2K...

There's an idea, BPB. Give me some clues as to who the foul-mouthe culprits might be, and I'll do some correlation research...

Well, this makes A2K a happy family indeed, which deserves a song:

I am happy going through life, swearing sometimes as the mood takes me or to emphasise a particular point, but C__T is one word I have only used a couple of times, and for some reason I felt wrong about using it. Without wanting to descend into needless profanity, I've always used T__T instead, as it has a double meaning (v. To hit) and is a bit more acceptable.

Quote:
Got me the strangest woman
Believe it, this chick's no sinch
When I wanna get her goin'
Then I whip out my Big Ten Inch

Record of the band that plays the blues
Well the band that plays the blues
She just loved my Big Ten Inch
Record of her favorite blues

Last night I tried to tease her
I gave my love a little pinch
But she said now stop that jivin
now whip out your big ten-inch

Record of the band that plays the blues
Well the band that plays the blues
She just loved my Big Ten Inch
Record of her favorite blues

I'll cover her with kisses
and when we're in a lover's clinch
she gets all excited
when she puts on my big ten-inch

Record of the band that plays the blues
Well the band that plays the blues
She just loved my Big Ten Inch
Record of her favorite blues

My gal don't go smokin'
and liquor just makes her flinch
Seems she don't go for nothin'
'cept for my big ten-inch

Record of the band that plays the blues
Band that plays the blues
She just loved my Big Ten Inch
Record of her favorite blues



(The original ain't by Aerosmith, but that's how I find it online. Ah, well.)
