Saying in Dutch the translation would be much much more offensive. <br /><br />Then I wonder why there is so much music/movies/tv shows full of f-words available if it is so offensive. I don't think we have such an offer in the media with Dutch (therefore truly offensive) cursing available.<br /><br />And watching US tv...geez that constant beeping makes you go mad. And why is that beeping better if you know what's beeped out every so frequent anyway? <br /><br /><br />so my feeling is: there is sooooo much more cursing in Anglo-Saxon media...being beeped out in a very annoying way , yet you know it's there and for us...we just leave it in. It doesn't feel strong at all anyway. To be honest, I think I use some of these words in the office , with my boss present when eg I sent an e-mail forgetting the attachment.

One day I punished him in class for saying 'Shit!' He came to get me that evening so I could explain to his parents and his father confessed that they say that all the time at their house because it's not a French swear word so it doesn't count. Merde, however, is bad. :)Château de Brouillonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15885035176442929222noreply@blogger.com
