Before you say "oh, he just wants to get a bunch of swearing in one topic because it's allowed on the site", there is a reason to this:
Favorite cuss word
Flying Circus was a definite eye-opener, but it's not the reason for it. Just happened to be a skit I saw as a young child and it stuck with me. Nonetheless, it is something I consider on a bit more intellectual level than just the comedy of it, like Python presented.
I don't think I have a real favorite right now.
I will say one thing about swearing. When I'm really pissed at a game I don't like to break the stuff that cost a lot of money, so I swear. I found out that 'bullshit' doesn't deliver nearly the satisfaction that I need out of a curse when I'm truly raging. I've taken to saying 'bullfuck', but even that doesn't come close to express my anger when I am extremely angry at a game.
I like fuck for all the reasons jakob stated, but my favorite is damn because it's slowly gaining acceptance as a regular word. Thanks in part to the entertainment industry and in part to its incredible versatility in sarcasm, people rarely bat an eye anymore when you say damn, unless you say it loudly or in extreme anger. Basically the same as any non-swear word.
Cunt.
Why?: It is the most volatile non-racist word in North America. I find it hilarious how people freak out over it. Over something so trivial as a little mono-syllabic word meaning vagina.
It's really odd. One could say sex, poop, vagina, penis in public and it would be ok.(As long as it wasn't all used in the same sentence.) But if you said fuck, shit, cunt, or cock you would be in a heap of trouble.
Why is that? Is it not the meaning of the word that is offensive? If we can say sex, but not fuck, clearly the meaning isn't what offends.
So what is offensive about these words? NOTHING...
Tradition is what keeps these words as being bad. Your mommy said not to say them, because their bad. Her mommy said that to her, and so on.
So, do me a favor. The next time your with your wife/girlfriend sitting with your grandma, church group etc. And your ready to go home.
Point to your Wife and say, "well, I'll see you later, I'm gonna go home and fuck her!" Because you and I know that its perfectly alright to say that.
And you know what they say, "Honesty is the Best Policy."
"Omega said:Intent is what makes a word offensive. If you use a word to try and hurt someones feelings then, yes it is offensive. But, that doesn't mean cunt should be considered an offensive word. You can offend someone by calling them stupid, or call then a pig, or a cow. But stupid, pig, and cow aren't offensive words. It's the context that makes the word good or bad."Cunt."My advice is to not call a woman that, i've seen some bad things done to men over that word. Some wemon consider it sexual harassment"
You can say, "that cow is pretty stupid, it can't even find its way outside."
But you can't say, "you're just a stupid cow, mom."
To put it in gaming terms "words are 'Context Sensitive'."
Therefore, I think it should be ok for me to be at work and call my computer a cunt for not working properly. My female boss hear me, walk over to me and ask," what did the fucking computer do now?"
That is a world I will probably never know... But its one I'd love to live in.
"Gunner said:As long as the majority of the population are raised to think that "bad" words are actually bad, that day will never come. But ive noticed as the years pass that when people raise their children (such as my sister) they are more open to use curse words infront of their children than people were 10 years ago. This doesnt make them bad parents, just more open to different ways of expression their emotion."Omega said:Intent is what makes a word offensive.

So i think that there is a good chance, 10 years from now, that world may be something you can count on.
Shit / shite
Although not swearing, i like saying "Holy Zombie Jesus" - very fun to say loudly in public
I'm pretty much fond of them all, but the real fun is in combining them in new and interesting ways.
Fuck, without a doubt. It is an amazing word that has so many official definitions and so many personal definitions. On top of that, you can customize it and outfit it for any circumstance, creating extremely fun new words with "fuck" origins.
My close runner up is cunt. Just say it, cunt. Better yet, emphasize the "u" and just say cunt. "C-uh-nt." Cunt. Need I say more?
I also believe that words are words and belong in the English language as much as anyother word. Sure, in certain settings if not used properly it isn't funny and it just sounds rude and unpleasant. For instance: "I was fucking this girl in the ass yesterday with my fist jammed up her pussy and you should have heard that bitch moan." That's nasty and not in the least bit funny, it just makes you look like some barbaric douche bag (awesome curse.) On the other hand: "Haha, dude that movie was so fucking batshit crazy that I felt ripped without even taking a hit!" is a great way to express your perceptions/feelings in a way that makes it easy to understand what you are talking about, all the while seeming loose and funny.
For me, all curses when used right are amazing. I hate political correctness and if I could, I would curse when ever I felt like it. I don't do it over the top anymore, or at least I try, in order to preserve the effect of the curse and prevent me from looking like a jerk.
But there is one word that has only one connotation and it makes me cringe everytime I hear it, that's "nigger." I cringed even typing that. It is just a word created for hatred, it is not funny, it isn't cool, it's just fucking stupid.
My 2cunt.
I'm also a rather big fan of spunkmonkey and when something fucked up happens, I'll pull a Silverman and throw out "what the cock is that shit?". Mixing up words is always fun. Just throwing a "fagballs" out there or "Jesus titty-fuckin' Christ" when you are amazed at something. I also personally feel and believe that we need to drop the -er off of motherfucker and just make it motherfuck, or just go with muthafuck. Like "Muthafuck that!" or "what the muthafuck?". Sure, it's more syllables, but hell, why the fuck not?
" I like the word Shite. Adding the e makes it so much more poetic than the rather bland and boring shit. "Was coming here to post Shite. There's just something about the tiny difference it has to shit and that it's pretty much unique to Ireland and the North (I think) of England makes it special. Feck is also a good one since it's less explosive than fuck so you can get away with using it in more sensitive situations.
I still cannot get over how crazy the reaction to the word Cunt seems to be in America. I really hope that kind of sensitivity to a silly word never starts over here.
Hey I remember this back when I was lurking around. Grand times.
I would have to say "damn". I don't have to tell you why.
I usually improvise. I find I can offend anyone, even without trying, so I'm likely to shout out whatever is on my mind.
I'e always felt that the word damn is underated since if you damn something, you basically want it to suffer in hell for all eternity which seems harsher than any other swear word
Blaggard
Cur
Utterly miserable bastard
To aim at a game, in frustration or some such:
Utterly miserable bastard
Fuck
Cunt
Damnable contraption
Shit
Cunting piece of fuck
When I get angry, I like to say Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch as it conjures images of a village on an island somewhere in Wales, situated on the Menai Strait next to the Britannia Bridge and across the straight from Bangor.
And if you don't like it, well you can go Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch yourself.
i think holy fuck is growing on me, due to it being one of my favorite bands and just being kinda silly
