Personally, I believe we're seeing an increasing deterioration of dignity, modesty, and courtesy. All of which is being replaced by blatant rudeness and a sense of being entitled to be offensive, simply because you can. Thus, the shirts you mentioned, the blooming rise of Karens, both male and female, in your face-ism, and much worse behaviors. Truth is, you ain't nothing yet.

dono said: The slide began when the girls and girly men added the Woo to Rocky Top. Prove me wrong.

I can't prove it, but I think it started when we baby boomers replaced church attendance with LSD, Marijuana, toad licking, and peyote. Along with free love, mini skirts, micro mini skirts, grooving, flower power, and bell-bottoms.

I didn’t notice that while watching the game on TV, but see and hear more and more of that now than just a few years ago. I run across quite a few people that use that as one of their primary vocabulary words in conversation it seems like. I don’t like it, but can block it out. I just have a problem if that is used around my little kids.

Usually uneducated people use vulgar words a lot in their vocabulary. They do this because they can think of no other way to express their thoughts or emotions to other people. I would be upset by an adult doing that in front of any small children. No excuse or reason for it.

Well this is really the issue isn't it. An entire generation basically made saying "Buck Fama" okay and acceptable. It's really actually painfully stupid to read and hear someone say out loud, and yet every year "Hey, man. Buck Fama". So that was okay, even witty to some of the locals who have no wit. But now you fix those first two letters and it's "Hey, wait a minute, what happened? Where's the decency?"

Novel idea, what if we didn't make use of either?

Yeah maybe, but still, Buck Fama

The First Amendment and censorship can be understandably complicated. You can use a 3 word cheer to support a race car driver who just won a race but can't use that same cheer here to make a point. 😂

Using the words wasn't the point as I've used enough for 2 people in the past decade of UT football. Putting them on UT branded shirts was more the question

I would guess most of them aren’t legit branded shirts where the University approved them.

Idk, as an alumn I was always proud that Neyland was mostly family friendly, (with the exception of the student section, which is fine lol) unlike Death Valley (been there and it is not lol) as in not family friendly. At all. Would definitely not bring kids

F word is definitely not polite, as are several other words, but society has been shot to sh!t at this point, so may as well

First, im not disagreeing about it not being polite.


Why is that combination of letters not polite when other combinations meaning the same thing are totally acceptable?

That is demonstrably not accurate

Many well educated fellows who have been elected to office were notorious for cursing regularly and vociferously.

Also a couple of fairly intelligent drill sergeants use/used language that would make some of you fellows blush like your momma just caught you doing something.

I guess it is. Maybe little kids dont get it, but bigger kids catch on quick.

War Damn Eagle has been on shirts as long as I remember, so probably around 88 or so. I used to go to games with my neighbors, both Auburn and Bama. I have clear memories of snickering about that as a kid. I also saw Brett Favre beat them in Jordan Hare in 90. Both are equally ingrained in my memory.

I'm on your side friend... I think. I hate hearing or seeing profanity in any public setting. Still, there is a First Amendment guarantee of free speech that can get cloudy. I'm not sure what the limits are and may involve "community standards". All I know is when I'm standing in line at FC 2 years ago and see a guy with a shirt that says "If you don't like my shirt F*** YOU" I'm shocked to my core. Then 2 wks ago in the same store I hear a 16 year old cashier tell a group of teen boys to "chill with your use if F word in my store" I smile knowing there's always hope.

That’s what my grandmother used to say, it was to compensate for a paucity of vocabulary 😂 she was so cool

I personally tend to give more leeway to innuendo rather than just in your face f-bombs. It shows no creativity to create and even less to wear

In Louisiana, people cuss around kids and I did not like it one bit.. I told my hairstylist to watch her potty mouth when my four year old daughter was within ear shot 😂 she was kind of stupid.. but she zipped it.. people can put whatever they want on their shirts, but be prepared for folks to respond, as I think that is the intent anyway.. ‘look at me and give me attention’ lol

When I was on campus I thought this guy was really stretching the limits. Notice, the print shop has Auburn in the wrong spot.CA53FC5F-E48D-452A-A687-57780C2F5986.jpeg11F5D48B-68B8-48DF-ABAB-BD09A1EB5EFB.jpeg

Cursing is cursing. Choice of words is subjective. In England and Australia, they use the C word like we use the B word. They also call cigarettes F slurs. I have worked with a couple in my career and had to discuss their inappropriate language because females in the office got even more offended by the C word than the B word. Its quite the opposite across the big lake.

Personally, I didn't want my kids to hear any of it when they were little because you never knew what they would hear or repeat. When it really mattered, they couldn't really read anyway. So hearing it was about the only avenue of exposure.
