This is the first time I actually considered putting someone on ignore.
Dean, everything will be ok, just go to your happy place.

Here's a tip: when bragging about your IQ, check the definitions of any multi-syllable words you're using. "Misnomer" means wrong name.

Ahh, was thinking misconception. My mind runs too fast, sometimes. Good catch.
You were fine. It is in fact a "misnomer" to incorrectly name/label someone unintelligent or uneducated simply based on their use of vulgarity. It would be just as illogical as naming someone a genius because you've never heard them curse or say anything remotely nasty. Lol

Its a bunch of bullshit too. :duck:
I was curious if there was research n this, and found this paper: The Seven Words You Can Never Say on Television: Increases in the Use of Swear Words in American Books, 1950-2008
I work in a law office where swearing is fairly shocking to hear; unless of course it's from a client in an arbitration meeting. Thankfully they close the doors and all of the boardrooms have sound deadening.
I use alternative cuss words so I can be heard spitting out a, "Fooey", here and there, occasionally, "dagnabit", "hooligan!", and, "Rats!" When people hear me say, "Firetruck", they know something's broken pretty badly.
If momma an' daddy get divorced, are they still brudder n' sister?

Yes, he was fine (you too) - no big deal, I'm sure everybody understood it. Just good-humored poking.
That didn't happen, but yes, that would be a misnomer.

I used to play with a guy that would say, "Got-down swim-in-a-ditch" whenever he messed up.
a little on topic, a little off
The thread woke up an old memory. I was helping the man that had married my cousin work cows. His horse was named Black but in a long day working cattle you might never know that despite him spending a lot of time hollering at the horse. His language was more than a little blue!
After a month or two break I was helping him work cows again. He was as noisy as ever but the words were a bit strange: "God bless America!" "Praise the Lord!" "God is good!". Never the slightest sound of profanity.
At lunch break I asked what the deal was. His first born child was walking and talking pretty well now and spent a lot of time with her devout Christian grandmother. Seemed two weeks ago her grandmother had heard the little girl sweetly calling Del's cowdog, "C'mere Toby, c'cmere you son of a bltch, c'mere Toby. The following weekend the little girl wanted to go outside. The front door was a bit much for her to handle yet so she, again quite sweetly, asked her grandmother to open the goddamned door please.
The little girl and her parents were strictly rationing profanity after that!

Copied that. I guess I took this sentence, "It doesn't show intelligence in the user, it shows a lack thereof.", as a way of calling sailor-mouthed people unintelligent.
Anyhow, my dad was a Navy guy, so I learned all the good words that kids aren't supposed to use until they're old enough not to get whooped for using them.
Lmao! Typical God-fearing household. That little girl will learn to be two different people like the rest of us. One that pretends never to use profanity and one that knows when it's ok to unleash all those colorful words she learned from her daddy.
Dean if you could give us a list of the words
we can't use it would be helpful.
God forbid we should find ourselves looking

the little girl is a grandmother now
The little girl is a grandmother now. She was the first of a small herd of children, all grew up to be good people with good heads on their shoulders, something to be said for raising children the old fashioned way!
I remember my own childhood. My mom called us a bunch of wild indians with some merit. However, if company came over or we went somewhere, we were angels and well known for our fine behavior! We did know when to toe the mark and walk the line!

Read the post, I beat an accused killer, found innocent by
a jury of his peers, at pool. Read the story for yourself
Someone has told a fib and someone joined in
There is not a word or suggestion of me worshipping him
You guys are just sad and mad that someone has
spoken out about your beloved use of swear words
And now you feel like kicking a fella you think is down
I am not down and bullies never bothered me
Rave on
