Swearing is unproductive and unprofessional. It has no place in society.

What are your thoughts on words that are no longer considered profanity but once were?

[-] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 3 points 10 months ago

It really varies on the nature of it. I think as a rule of thumb bad language should be avoided.

Even in other countries you can notice. Now in Mexico we have news commentators saying chingón (a bad word that is used for praise) and "hijo de la chingada" (son of a bitch).

30 years ago saying either would get you banned from TV for life.
