People who use the *f* word so frequently that they seem oblivious that it is profanity and unacceptable in any context.

I #%{$&! agree with you on that one!

Oh me too!
I'll drop this bomb every once in awhile but I have a vendor that this is every other word. It's a chore to talk to her.
We were at a bike event...Pat Travers was playing...and the MC had to work this word in every sentence.
You know it's bad when a bunch of bikers commented on it.

It's like...ok...you've shown us you know the word and how to use it in a sentence....it doesn't mean you have to!

My late mother always used to point out that the actual meaning of the word is a very wonderful thing, and that using "f*** you" as an insult was sort of a contradiction in terms. She always felt that it would be much more appropriate to say "un-f*** you" if you really wanted to hurt a person.

DEFINITEY agree with you..... I absolutely detest that word!!!
Why people use it, it is beyond me!! It is definitely a discredit to the english language!!!

I agree. You would think in a 55+ community where people are seniors, that wouldn't be an issue. But it is.

I have always felt people who use profanity, to express themselves, need to get a much more gooderer grasp of the English language.

I heard it a lot more when I was in NY and FL. Now I am in the Bible Belt and I never hear adults curse. I never really noticed it until you brought it up today. It's actually nice not to hear cursing. I have to watch TV for that, lol.

I've also heard seniors, mostly men, say it when they are in a group together. It must be the herd mentality or something. I also really hate it when women start cursing like sailors. I just wasn't raised that way.

Remember Eddie Murphy in "Raw"? Now that was way overdone.

Unless you live in NYC or Boston, its a part of common everyday language out there, lol.
