Why the word 'FUCK' is forbidden ? (30)

1 Name: Anonymous Linguist : 2006-12-13 12:04 ID:KzGPYGKS

i'm not a english speaker, but i always feel strange when everybody write
'Fxxx' or 'PHACK' or like that. Why ? Everybody knows that hidden word
means 'FUCK', but why transform the word ? Just for fun ?

"US obscenity laws were originally meant to prohibit attacks on religion and religious figures or to protect children from profane speech. Since the time of the Civil War in the late 1800s, restrictions have focused more on sexual speech. There has always been great difficulty in defining profanity. The U.S. Federal Communications Commission, in response to complaints about a 1973 broadcast comedy routine by George Carlin, called: Seven Words You Can Never Say On Television, ruled that such language could not be broadcast at times of day when there is a reasonable risk that children may be in the audience."

A lot of boards censor "fuck" so a fuck-user has to disguise it to by-pass the filter.

I think "fuck" is a beautiful French word from the old "fuccant" and I use it all the time.

Such a fucking rediculous law. They're not protecting kids from something damaging, like gore, but instead, they're too pussy to admit that kids swear young.

Oh my... I haven't heard anything so real in my life!
By the way, at my country's TV broadcast, in some TV shows, when someone says "bad words" they censor, the MOUTH!! but still you can hear the word uncensored. Wonder why?

They don't want to teach deaf people how to swear.

The reason is because it's considered profanity (eg: fuck you, a very offensive way of saying you suck), and it is also a word meaning "to have sex" (eg: I want to fuck.)

That's actually quite a clever response. XD It still makes the censorship of >>13's country ridiculous, but at least there's some fragment of logic in your argument.

Maybe they think kids won't be able to pronounce it if they can't tell the way people are using their mouths?

Anyway, some US censors don't even do it right. When people say asshole, we get "ass----" instead of "---hole". When you censor the ass part, we at least won't be able to tell which curse EXACTLY that they're saying (my reasoning being that I've heard "dickhole", "fuckhole", "shithole", and "dillhole" at some points in my life).

In many of the Japanese rock groups, the word "fuck" is used all the time. I often see people shouting it from the stage. Do many Japanese people know the word? Is it considered trendy to use there? In America, it is something of a "shock word". Many people think it is vulgar, so sometimes people use it to show how strongly they mean something. I guess it's a little like "zaken'na yo" (sp?)

Also,
>>17 "dillhole"???

I propose that the word "fuck-user" be coined.

Maby people who are.. timid(?) feel the need to cover their expressions with F**K or such idiotics. Kids, perhaps?

It is a bad word. And many websites will block you for saying it.

At least in finnish it would be stupid to try blocking fuck.
Fuck = vittu
Ravittu = has been fed
