Been thinking about this more Keith (yes I know it's dangerous) I said it doesn't offend me but it would it if were aimed/directed at me. I don't swear publicly but don't tend to mind if others swear (with moderation). However, I don't like people swearing at me. |

Hi, It has become so widely used in society throughout the western world that I don't personally think most people would regard it as bad language. My elderly mother has used it on a couple of occasions and she has never been known to use any swear words in her life. In Scotland the equivalent word would be 'jobby'. Well it was in our house. It is one word which always had my husband cringing. Imagine someone saying to you 'I've never heard so much jobby in my life'. You'd fall about laughing. Personally I blame it all on Mr Crapper.

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. :-) |

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 |

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