You definitely have a way with words, my friend.

Karmyn may be right. <BR/><BR/> What bugs me is the use of profanity by people conversing -- because their minds are too gooey to have any fluid thoughts.

I believe one well placed fuck makes a much stronger statement than a series of malcontempt

To me, there are wounding curse words and non-wounding ones. I don't mind fuck - it seems so harmless. But the c-word, and others of it's ilk, I find so appalling i can't even bring myself to write them let alone say them. I find them mightily offensive.

Profanity is fun, mainly because they try their best to censor it over here. The tv is a victim, with bleeps everywhere that it gets irritating but books have been spared so far.

From the movie 'Snatch'...<BR/>On parking a car - "Tight? You could park a jumbo-fucking-jet in there!"<BR/><BR/>On London - "Fish-n-chips, Cup-o-tea, Bad food, worse weather, Mary Fucking Poppins - London"<BR/><BR/>Just maybe, 'fuck' has lost some of its edge because it is so superfluous.

tto true - this is defintely a case of less is more.<BR/><BR/>except in Deadwood :-)

I figure, if profanity is used often, it should be used either to define a character, or to provide emphasis.<BR/><BR/>Otherwise, it feels as gratuitous as a bare breast in a summer scene.

Now, flipping people off, that really needs to be saved for choice moments. And mooning. If you manage to pull off two or three perfect maneuvers in the course of your life, that's worth a thousand "fucks".

These are good tips and examples.<BR/><BR/>What ended up turning me off the HBO series Deadwood was the mis-use of profanity. It's also what turned me off the Sopranos.<BR/><BR/>Just because you can use the profanity, and even if it's historically accurate (as in the case of Deadwood) and appropriate for the characters' speech patterns (as for Sopranos), it doesn't mean you should just casually
