I agree with Bryan - I wouldn't use it myself as I am a lady ;-) lol However, as Bryan says it doesn't offend me.

Of course it is..

Willow Report 14 Feb 2007 16:38

If it offends or not is just an opinon, it dont change the fact that it is a swear word.

Guinevere

Guinevere Report 14 Feb 2007 16:39

You asked if it was bad language and I answered.............. Whether it bothers me or not depends on the context. When I'm with mates in privacy then it doesn't but in front of strangers I'd say it's a 'no no'. Some are easily offended. Gwynne

Blimey, I never thought it was a swear word! We use it as slang, for rubbish, which is very apt at times. We'll probably still use it sometimes. :-)

As Gwynne says, privately it is acceptable but publicly I don't like it. But then I am an old fogey:-) XX BC
