I hate all those meaningless words and phrases that are used for padding too - "at this moment in time" being the worst.

The worse swearing in Dutch is related to hoping you catch terrible diseases, whereas the equivalents of thesexual swearwords we have in Britain are much milder there.
When you think about it, by getting all uptight about swearing is us, the person hearing them, giving the words power. I'm not sure that you can use them in this forum, but although the words stand for the same substance, we've decidedly that 'poop' is acceptable whereas otherwords for the same thing, aren't. It could easily be the other way around.

I also am annoyed by shizzel, dizzel, word when it is used as a meaningless response, Dog as it is used when you are substituting it for someone's name, and probably most of all hey when you say it like haaaeeey and it is used as a pleasurable response to causing harm to another person.
A demonstration:
Matt: "Hey Ry Dog this guy didn't answer his door. What should I do?"
Ryan: (silent and busy)
Nate: "Just put the food on top of the oven."
Matt: "Word, Dizzel."
Dave2: "Why don't you flip it upside down first. It tastes better that way."
Matt: "Haaaeeey."

It means, "If you argue with this, you're an idiot" to some people hearing it, which is why it's a useful too when you're selling an idea to someone. It takes someone with guts to say "Er, excuse me? It's not obvious to me".darbook wrote:i hate the word - obviously

I hate seeing posts like this:
'so your not it i get it ok i seen it yestrday'~ What? Exactly!
People who don't know the difference between "there", they're and "their" as well as "your" and "you're" don't deserve French fries. There's a point when it becomes willful laziness.
I don't have a problem with curses spoken, but in written form, they somehow annoy me. I guess it's because the author is usually going for a "punch" that's cheap and doesn't work.
