It's really a matter of whether you think curse words are anything more than cultural taboo brought on by the FCC.  _________________ EisleyForever wrote: you're A-list in my heart! MAKECOLDPLAYHISTORY |

If you find "half-assed" offensive, you could start saying "half-buttocked" or "half-donkeyed".

It's because they're incorrect usage of the words. telling someone to "go to hell" is an incredibly horrid thing to say: it is, afterall, the complete opposite of where we as Christians want someone to go. _________________ She is handsome, she is pretty, she is the girl from Belfast City, she is courtin' one two three, please won't you tell me who is she?

They're just words. It's all about the intent, in my opinion. _________________ Albert Camus wrote: Always go too far, because that's where you'll find the truth. |

There is no intent in using the phrase (or similar) "go to hell", because the vast majority of people who say that don't actually know what they're saying. _________________ She is handsome, she is pretty, she is the girl from Belfast City, she is courtin' one two three, please won't you tell me who is she?

An ass is a donkey. An arse is a butt. What happened was that arse sounds very close to ass with a British accent. So people said that 'ass' was vulgar too. And everyone started saying donkey instead. So a half-ass is as bad as silly goose IMO. _________________ Power is only pain It’s probably better to have him inside the tent pissing out, than outside the tent pissing in.

she's said half-assed twice in interviews. and pissed in several others.. so that's as far as it goes, i guess. |
