hmmm.... interesting thread....
My first thought was males using the C-word about each other? What's up with that? Then some posters mentioned the geographical aspect. I never thought of that.
I have mixed feelings about the whole cursing is the sign of lack of education or skill with the language. I have a Master's degree, can be very articulate and can also swear like a sailor. It depends on the circumstances and situation.
I have a Christian co-worker who hates any kind of swearing, but says JC when angry. Seems hypocritical to me. We work with at risk adolescents at my agency. Two of my co-workers (including the one who says "JC") refuse to allow their clients to curse in session. Me? I figure if that's the language they need to use to express themselves it's OK with me. I do set a limit that they are not allowed to curse at someone else in the room.
like I said, interesting thread and educational.
