    Even before I was a believer -- and I spent most of my adult life as a non-believer -- I did not really cuss. I sometimes said the word that goes with the Hoover edifice, but I never used another common word that I think is terrible and I hated to hear it, or others that are out there. I was even stricter after I had my son.

    So it is not such a big deal that I don't curse now though occasionally I am tempted to go back to Hoover. I think I have slipped up a few times, but it has become easier over time to not to do this.

    It is so sad to me that kids today use obscenities right and left as casually as eating ice cream. I think they hear this at home. I have even heard parents use bad words in the presence of their young children.

    As long as Christians watch Auburn play football, Christians will cuss.

    It's a very mild Brit expletive.

    One of the reasons I prefer France to the UK is the lack of horrible words. When I lived and worked in the UK I heard it every day and like Lot it just cut right through to me.

    Here in France, I am almost free from it, they have their bad words and gestures but never have the effect that the Brit ones did.

    Like Jon Marc I substitute a lot of expletives, I use blimey and blinking at times. But I always know what I mean. Swearing is bad and we will be ultimately be free from it one day.

    I was listening to Matt Chandler talk about preaching in Australia and how he mentioned wearing a "fanny pack". The people in the church were aghast because, evidently, "fanny" is considered a very bad cuss word there.

    They almost beat themselves. They have the talent to have won by a much bigger margin.

    They're a much better team than they appear on the field. The Tigers are very, very good. Unfortunately, they're also very, very sloppy and undisciplined.

    If GC will get in there and get them to pay attention, I don't think there would be any stopping them (assuming they're able to solve that whale of a QB conundrum coming up with Todd's departure).

    To 'take a butchers' is one of my favorite cockney rhymes. A butchers hook, take a look. :)

    Philadelphia Eagles fans certainly have an excuse.
    Although I have to agree that some of the hints were too vague for me to figure out.

    I cuss far less than I used to, but some words still fly occasionally. :(

    Big difference in the "dam" that holds back water and the other that refers to damnation. Only God can commit someone or thing to damnation. So anyone that uses any word that refers to damnation has attempted to usurp the sovereignty of God. That my friends is the very definition of blasphemy. If a "Christian" is in the habit of using such words, by fit of anger or any such reason, they had better be searching out their salvation with fear and trembling.

    Side question. Is cussing in and of itself a sin? Taking the name of the Lord is a sin, but what is the scriptural support that cussing in and of itself is a sin. I agree that it often can be a sin, but is it categorically?

    1Timothy 6:20&21
    20O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called: 21Which some professing have erred concerning the faith. Grace be with thee. Amen.

    2Timothy 2:16&17
    16But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness. 17And their word will eat as doth a canker:

    Does every instance of "cussing" constitute a "profane babbling"?

    For example, if I say "everything that man said was bulls***", why is that profane babbling, but "everything that man said was hose manure" is not?

    The sound says everything! In England they cover the American sh*t by saying shyte.....Doesn't sound as crude, I guess.

    26If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man’s religion is vain.
