It’s a word. Just a word. For the love...

My 11 year old has let it slip a couple times and I don’t give it a second thought. If you are offended by it then that is your issue, not somebody else’s.

No need to apologize Kirb. Just continue to crap your pants at the most inopportune time and all is forgiven.

Seriously F bombs in football are not a big deal.

Coach Pruitt: Ms. Jones I know your son is between UGA and Tennessee. Aight? Did you hear that Kirby said a bad word during a press conference?

Ms. Jones: The F***k you say?

Hopefully you get very upset when anyone our staff uses foul language.

Sure, I’m sure these athletes moms have never heard the F word.

It's one thing to drop the f-bomb in everyday life, I do as well, it's an entirely different thing to intentionally do it into a microphone at a press conference. I guarantee there will be some recruits that have religious mamas, I'd be willing to use anything possible as ammo against Lord Bowlcut.

See. You just made an impassioned plea which very effectively and efficiently outlined your position on this subject. In this very well thought out argument, you made a good defense of a losing premise without the gratuitous use of vulgar language. I applaud you and thank you for helping to prove my point..

You don't have a valid point. Your prudish and outdated views on a connection between choice of language and intelligence are demonstrably incorrect.

Lol, how would you propose to determine who wins? I can't read people's minds, I don't know about you. Besides, you are missing my point, I would use any available means to attack an enemy. UGA is an enemy. They are in the way of our return to prominence, if the opportunity arises to use this against them, do so. I'm not saying we ban the f-word from our practice fields, homes, cars or whatever, I'm saying it's trashy AF for the head of your program to be up there dropping f-bombs intentionally into the microphone at a press conference. I can't think of anyone else who has done that off hand.

I'm not sure that bullsh*t, like da*n and H*ll, even counts as profanity anymore.

Did you read the article? All it said was that people who know more words in general also know more swear words. It doesn't say intelligent people swear more. I read of a controlled study recently that concluded that we pull swear words from a different part of the brain than our regular language. The scientists in that case say it shows how linguistically unnatural swearing is. Which is another way of saying what Backwards K was saying.

So thats a part of your brain you don't use?

I clepped English in college, made A's in Honors English classes in HS. My grammar, punctuation and spelling are near perfect here. I guess I anecdotally blow the **** out of your theory.

"Prudish and outdated views?" Are you serious? You are fooling yourself if you think the use of the F word is accepted in the majority of business, civic, and/or any other areas of polite society. The use of that word and other obscenities add nothing to any conversation and the majority of people assume you are uneducated and untrained if you use it in most settings other than a locker room or a dive bar or apparently this message board.

Its use does not make you seem like a more competitive athlete, a tougher guy, or cool. It just makes you look bad and the sooner you learn to speak without the use of vulgar language, the better off you will be. Here's a good test; throw in the F word liberally in your next job interview and let me know how that works out for you.

It's apparently the same part of the brain that might make you rip a guy's helmet off of him and try to brain him with it, so, no, I try my best not to use it.

Really, you draw that conclusion yourself or are you in neuro-biology?

There are these strange things called "books", which seem to be collections of words on sheets of paper (called "pages", I believe), which were originally written down (or typed, maybe) by people who wanted to share their thoughts on particular subjects. Some of those people have spent most of their lives studying the brain and/or cognitive functioning, so that's what they write their books about. And, this is the cool part, we can READ them. And, weirdest part of all, we LEARN things that way.

Maybe you could start at the learning to read part then advance to studying. I am sure your maternal rants aren't grounded in anything resembling an independently developed thought process. I get you don't like the word ****. Believe it or not, I don't like it in "polite society" either. But if you don't want to hear it, don't go into public. If you think that my boss doesn't use it, think again. His/her boss uses it, their boss uses it and on up the chain. I work for a global company that employees more people that you can imagine. It is used in meetings and sometimes even in public! Get over yourself, your simple minded condescension indicates a loss of the argument at hand. You have quoted no sources but your own opinion and, strangely enough, it smells just like my backside. Behave and I may allow you to come see my library......nearly 3k books.

What a strange response. You apparently have lumped everybody who disagreed with you in this thread into one straw man. For my part, I responded to BeardedVol's link to an article that used fallacious reasoning, and while doing so, I referenced a study that suggests that a different part of the brain is accessed for swearing than is accessed for all other language. Then I pointed out that there are studies that link what happens in the brain when we swear and what happens in the brain when we perform a violent action. The point of that statement was that you quipped, I quipped, you quipped, and I quipped, but somehow it led you to this post. (Incidentally, your clever, "Really, you draw that conclusion yourself or are you in neuro-biology?" is the very definition of "simple minded condescension"). What I didn't say, at any point, was what I think of such language. I have opinions on the subject, but I chose not to express them.
