Profanity is usually hilarious. Especially reading ABOUT profanity (I had to read this book called "Expletive Deleted" for a class and I could not stop laughing, especially during the c**t chapter lol.) One time my Grandpa was driving on our way home from a vacation and my siblings were all fighting and he got pissed so he banged on the steering wheel and said "s**t FIRE!" My mom almost died of laughter.

However I do not think it's funny when children curse. When I was really young my family had this babysitter who would make my brother curse all the time. He is HFA, and he repeated everything he heard and would curse in school a lot (still does). She would tell him to say terrible stuff. Kind of f****d up.

I used to find profanity funnier when I was in high-school. I think it's related to it being it being more taboo then. I used to get very excitedly happy from the language in South Park :D Now that I'm older & I hear more people talking like that; I talk like that less. I found cursing & other bad language funnier when I was a teen & my parents didn't like me talking like that. But now that they use language like that sometimes; it does not have the same affect on me. Profanity is better when it's very taboo

I'm annoyed by people who get all butthurt just because someone says a "bad word." Grow up, they're just words!

They are called curse words because they are words that are cursed. The words come from the time of the Black Death & using em to much can cause plagues. South Park Season5 Episode1; "It Hit's The Fan"

I know what you mean. I just find it funny when people are REALLY angry and don't really understand what they're saying, and just blurt out randomness.

Profanity is also more funny when it's edited sometimes like on TV when part of the word is beeped over or when I see it spelt with certain letters replaced with random symbols. It's edited so people can pretend that they are being PC when in reality everyone knows exactly what word they are intending to use.

Profanity is hilarious if the words used are very old and rarely said. Additional hiarity if one attempts totranslate them.

When was the last time someone called you "Maplefat crap -pot"?

:lol: :lol: :lol:

but seriously though, in my opinion, there's a time and a place. Over use does make people appear unintelligent.

I do like the sound of "fook"...which is how I've heard f#@k said in a British accent of sorts and does sound kind of cute. And "bollocks!" is one which I've heard from British backpackers and also sounds funny...to me.

I think profountiy is okay but double entrandes are more funny (things that can sound clean and dirty at the same time bring me to my knees)
