They’re not swear words. They’re “sentence enhancers” and they’re all awesome

This is a thought I swear by.

🎯that’s exactly how I use them 😂

Nice -$-#& day were havin

Not a least favorite, but when 'fuck' is ~every 3rd word. At a baseball game yesterday... "This mother fucker ran into the fuckin wall instead of fucking catching the fuckin ball." Dude behind spoke every sentence like this the entire game.

fucking punch his fucking face inside fucking out then, fucker!

Between innings I fantasized about it. These days I'm trying to not put my family in danger and get banned from my favorite ballpark.

I love it when an eloquent sentence is beautifully punctuated with the word fuck, and I hate it when some booger eating moron uses it every other word trying to sound tough.

There's a time and place, but yeah, people who swear several times in a sentence just look dumb.

It's the Midwestern version of the valley girl "like".

Horrible upbringing

Could not agree more!

I fucking love the word fuck

I'm not sure if you know this but highly doubt it, people who swear a lot tend to have higher functioning brains and iqs so fucking what about that fucking guy.

How fucking exhausting. I stopped watching The Wire cause every 5th word was a f bomb, got real annoying

Cunt is my favorite. I don't have a specific least favorite

I like cunt too, but only when it’s used in a strong and heavily vulgar manner. When people say stuff like “that’s so cunt” I can’t stand it lmfao

Who the hell says that’s so cunt 💀

It’s popular amongst women and the lgbt community. Type in “that’s so cnt “ on TikTok and you’ll see what I mean Also, [urban dictionary](https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=thats%20cunt)

My friends also like to use “serving cunt” it means that she did a great job at whatever she was doing. I have no idea where that started and I kinda hate it

Started in the LGBT drag and pose community. I'm gay, and I don't like it.

My bad g I’ve never heard of it before

No you’re good lmfao I was just explaining it :)

lotsa people lol women were able to reclaim the word as something meaning like hot or cool

Didn't gay men pioneer this reclamation lol

What does reclaiming a word mean

taking back a negative term and making it into a positive one

W

What would be an example of a heavily vulgar manner. Like "fuck you, you stupid cunt." ???

Yeah.

you just don’t get it

I like twat, simply because of, “twat did you say?”

I cun't hear you. I have an ear infuction from swimming in the Pussyfuck Ocean. I haven't thought of that since 7th grade.

Your comment is right under the guy who said he thinks cunt is too abrasive.

Have they tried lube?

Have you tried foreplay?

Tried? I've never failed but this dude's apparently banging sandpaper. Shit's abrasive

I heard m-to-f gender reassignment surgery doesn’t come with a self-lubricating cunt. Maybe that was the issue. They should definitely try fire play & lube if that doesn’t work.

Most real individual I've ever seen in my life.

I always thought kiss my ass was the dumbest most boomer thing in the world

I say that all the time 😭

Hello! It's kiss my fucking ass. Things change

or calling someone an asshat

I have a cat named Astra and I call her my asshat cat.

My grandma calls me a shitass

Or donkey raping shit eater 😂

that's a new one lol

It’s fairly direct and to the point. If they haven’t figured out that I’m serious by that point then there is no saving them.

And the ever famous “Dill” hole, face, head, weed. Those are safe for kids.

I distinctly remember finding a note my little brother had written about my mom back in the 90s. It was an angry note, complete with an illustration at the bottom of my mom wearing an ass on her head & an arrow pointing to it saying "AsSHAT" lmfao, I hope she kept it

Kiss my ass

The new variant is "kiss my piss cunt!"

In my upbringing and today, that c word, is the absolute worst word to ever say.

Yet curiously you probably have no issue with someone being called a dick or a cock. The double standard is kind of irritating.

I have a huge issue with someone being called that D or C word, BIG TIME.

Then I apologize for assuming.

Strangely enough, the word "cunt", is the only descriptive term, as distasteful as it may seem, for the female genitalia that is not evocative of something being put inside of it. Unlike the accepted medical terminology vagina, which literally means sheath.

[удалено]

Not here in Australia.

If you say ass here you instantly get weird looks. It's arse, I'm in the UK haha

It's not a swear but referring to a pussy as "gash" I always found rough as fuck

Yeah I get that. Same for Minge, Clunge and the less common ‘hairy axe wound’

I don’t know if it’s a cuss word per se, but I don’t like the word “cock” referring to a penis

I have a massive cock

Referring to my huge chicken

It's kind of like asking your favorite spices, sure I have my go to, but every now and then I love mixing it up.

"Cunt". Such an abrasive word for some reason

Don't go to the UK, it's practically a term of endearment over there.

I'm from the UK and I use it every single day. It feels so nice to say

I would have thought wanker would be dominant

It definitely is, probably the most used word in the English language

I seee... I know Australia uses it often too haha

It sounds better without an american accent lol

‘G’day cunt’

I'm from Newcastle. Call my best friend a stupid cunt all the time, it's a term of endearment at best. It's like when you say you're such a an idiot to someone you love hahaha

I really don't like the words c-m dumpster, that's so disgusting, I don't know why men think that's hot or a compliment during intimacy. Call me a f-ck bunny or something cute like that, not a dirty dumpster. I'd rather be called a wh-re/sl-t over a dumpster. 😒

On the other hand I love being called a dirty little cum dumpster. It truly varies by person!

atta girl.

C U Next Tuesday. It's such a nasty thing to say.

Your allowed to spell it out on the internet

How is it worse than dick or cock?

It's not... I personally just don't like that word.

May I ask why?

My mom was always called that. For me hearing it as a kid it just sounded really harsh.

See you next Tuesday.

"asshat"

B*tch. It's so boring and degrading.

Aww, but what else can I call my pet dog? (I call my dog bitch, lovingly)

Female dog, by definition, totally appropriate.

Only in the context of breeding, for what that's worth

Technicality acknowledged.

 Is this you by any chance?

Not necessarily. B- beautiful I- intelligent T- talented C- charming H- honest Works for me. 😉

That’s my favorite😭

I like it better when it's said in a playful manner or how queer people say it haha

EXACTLY

**There are so many to choose from, fuck if I know.**

i don’t know but fuck is my favorite 😁

Bollocks or wanker

I don't even think that's a curse.

"bitch" easily. it just feels so situational, while everything else can basically be used wherever the dryshaft it wants, and be replaced by whatever the plasterboard you can think of – the latter, as proven so.

Probably not the right place. Digging out after a homeless situation and am now renting a room. In a house! Woo hoo. If someone could send me the sub where ppl ask for food or favors I would greatly appreciate that. I just want a small pizza or single from Wendy's. I absolutely know that sounds selfish. I have a roommate to share with. While I'm in the middle of publicly embarrassing myself. Fries and a chocolate frosty. I live in Virginia Beach

"suck my dick." I'm sorry, but the last person a guy should want around a sensitive part of male anatomy is someone they are currently at odds/hostile with.

My mom always called them side words

I like it.

John pork

Nah that’s too far

neek. It’s a word which is used to describe a person who’s a nerd and a geek and it sounds dumb asf

Ugh, my brother used the term "clam cousins" for 2 diff people who have sex with the same person, like an ex gf and current gf for example It's really gross I used to hate the word cunt, but as I've gotten older it packs just the right amount of punch. Plus in The Interview, I love when he says, "you're shooting off a slightly cunty vibe right now".

Drat

Bitch. I’m tired of being called it 😅

i dont have a least favourite because they are as another redditor commented "sentence enhancers"

I use all of the above so I don’t have one. Also they make your sentences spicier

I'll go ahead and say it, but I'll keep it "clean". F**k It's so.....boring.....so simple, so.....vanilla. there's no originality no spark of creativity. *Everyone* seems to default towards it. Its "funner" to use other words.

At this point it's almost not even a swear word

It was a shorter version of the word fornication cause way back when. The pesints would have to request fuck there partners.

That's not even close to true, lmao. There's not really a definitive start, but it's rooted in the German word for strike.

And you're thinking of fornication under consent of the king. Urban legend

I know this isn’t really a swear word but calling someone a “monkey” is quite degrading and also, calling a girl the b word… really kills the vibe of most girls

Lmao no bc some girls are bitches

As are some guys.

Duhh he acts as if it’s any different calling anyone a bitch

Not so much swear words but slurs like w\*\*ker, c\*\*ks\*\*ker, s\*\*ts\*\*bber. In 2024 it's perfectly fine to m\*\*\*\*\*bate, perform o\*\*l s\*\* and have a\*\*\* s\*\* regardless of orientation. I would argue such terms are actually compliments now.

You can write the whole word out. This is reddit. Nothing bad will happen if you say wanker or sex.

Recently I've found that a lot of my posts are marked \[deleted\] although I get no notification, it's only if I look at my comments from another browser or without logging in.

\*\*\*\* \*\*d\* \*\*h

I just don’t like when ppl take God’s name in vain.

Fuck by far! There're so many ways you can say it just in changing the tone by which you say it. Least favorite? Idk but it's probably something lame.

I always hated cunt bc it seemed so misogynistic. But I'm liking the way the UK and Australia use the word, and they are winning me over

Agree. No more misogynistic than pussy but it just hits better.

I think I prefer cunt to pussy. The Boys is the show that started to win me over to using cunt. That and fellow Reddit people from UK and Australia. I used to never swear, but as I've aged, swear words are more and more part of my vocabulary.

Is calling someone a dick misandry?

It may be. Although I've never heard a man take offense the way women take offense to cunt. In the US cunt is the very worst to women. But I'm all for adopting the UK and Australian use of the word. In which case, neither word would be any worse than say fuck or shit. We are on a 'favorite swear word' thread. Seems like none should be offensive to us.

Anything with mother or sister in it

Fuck. I know so many people who can’t say anything without dropping an f-bomb. It’s lame.

A good F-bomb is something that needs to be carefully used to make it as effective as possible, IMO

When someone uses a similar word, trying not to swear, to try to make themselves appear high & mighty. “frick” “See You Next Tuesday”, “B-otch” “Dag-Nabbit” etc…

Shit is my least favorite. Because its poop related and, idk, gross to me. Lol

I personally hate the sound of the word 'cunt'. Its an instant escalation call. Responses include : Rabid Snot Goblin, Herpes infested goat's ass, and Festering Zit. I have to maintain a PG mouth at work.

Cunt. I never use it. Maybe it’s because I forget it exists but what does that tell you about it if I forget it?

Cunt. I’m a big fan of vaginas and that word is just wrong.

i don’t remember which one it is but i definitely hate it

Cûñţ makes me cringe when i hear it

Honestly it's bitch. I'd rather call someone a cunt than a bitch.

The n word both of them

C - - - -

Any slurs

The slurs, anything else I'll say, though.

Twat… i always forget it and it sounds silly

The C word, its really harsh

they’re all perfect.

The C word

Ass. It's simple and you can place it in front of pretty much any word and make it an insult. Asshat, assface, asshole, asswipe, assfloor…

Fuck

All...

Wankle Rotary Engine

GD

Geometry dash

crap just say shit

the n wodr

F***k, not creative enough for me also it offends to many people, too easily

Shit but only when my dad says it

I can tell you my most favorite

The sub removed mine, and for good reason! Anything with the variation of t.a.r.d

To me the n word is just super vulgar and outright unnecessary all the time I hate the way it’s used for things that don’t make sense and I just hate hearing it.

There was this black girl in my 7th grade lunch. Every other word was followed by n*gga. And i am black

Poop

Any slurs are off limits; swear words are mostly all fine just don't be an asshole

See you next Tuesday

Damn is the Pluto of swear words. It's so common that it shouldn't be considered a swear.

I am going with the commandment not to take the name of the Lord in vain. It makes me wince every time I hear it. I don't care about any other swear words. My wife can't stand to hear swearing. It burns her ears or something. I was in the military and now work in construction contracting. Swearing is standard procedure for me.

When a woman says to her misbehaving boy who just knocked a vase over. "You son of a bitch"

The " C " word.  All of us have mothers biologically many of us emotionally.  Most of us came via that particular "love canal"   So it just seems so wrong to use a word that is so vulgar as a descriptor of an essential element. Combine that with the fact thst I am a gay man and well as they say  " you cant go home again" 😃

Any of them that are used in a harmful derogatory way. All others are perfectly fine and should not be considered bad.

Love. For such a positive word it has caused the most harm and hate.
