Its good manners not to offend people but that doesn't mean people have a right to not be offended. I think intent matters too and makes all the difference.
Just words at the end of the day.. Who decided that that word is such a bad one to use? When you boil it down its 4 letters placed next to each other.. A nooise that we make and comes out of our mouths... Far worse things in the world to be worried about than a kid learning that there is a word that people don't like but can't actually explain why they don't like t other than 'it's a bad word'. What at if someone suddenly decides toast is offensive do we stop using it? No.. people need to chill out
I would agree with all of that. However, I think the intent here was to draw attention to the business by deliberately using a word that everyone knows can be regarded as offensive. Anyway, we're going round in circles a bit. Perhaps some find it funny, but I thought the " Ha ha, they said a rude word." thing was left behind in the'70's. Again maybe it's just me and my sense of humour. I can't watch stand-up. There are a handful of genuinely funny people about but I find most comedians truly cringe-worthy. I either sit stony-faced throughout the lot or switch it off because I'm embarrassed for them and the fact that they think they're funny. I'm much more amused by opportunist wit than a contrived routine. I honestly find some of the stuff posted on here much funnier than most comedy on the telly.
We have an insider joke in our family that the "f-word" is "flamingo". Our youngest knows that there is a naughty word that begins with "f" she is not allowed to use. We get faux-angry when the kids say flamingo. All a joke though so they say it a lot.
Flamingos aren't naturally pink I'll have you know See your jumping on the tobes and Gerrez bandwagon though.... Tut expected better.
Coffee sex? That's a fetish not heard before.... Is it just the granules they pour over themselves or actually the boiling coffee? Or do they chill it first, iced coffee sex?
Agree with saint with the time and a place approach. I swear all the time but when I'm with a group of people having a laugh etc and you for instance step on a crowded train - i pack that in straight away. If who I am with continue to swear every other word it makes me truly embarrassed
