    Do you think the majority of people who hear that kid don’t know that he’s just replacing one word for another?

    The context of how and when words are said dictate what they mean. So to use biscuits in place of a swear, is still a fucking swear. It’s a rather simple concept really.

    And yea, biscuits should be unacceptable if shit piss and fuck are. Why do you get to decide what’s okay to be spoken and not others?

    Puritans are ruining the world, society shifted, and yet people like you continue to uphold these archaic values like they still matter. Fuck.

      Uh, no I literally don’t give a fuck - I just think it’s funny that you have a problem with a kid saying “oh biscuits”

      I’d say a swear is a swear - you know what swear words are, and I didn’t decide anything, society did. Personally I don’t really care and I swear like a sailor but there’s probably been books written about what is and isn’t a swear word, how they came to exist and why they exist for all cultures and societies around the world. Maybe there are some exceptions but every language I’ve learned about has swear words in it.

      Language is silly.

        I have an issue with kids swearing and parents perpetuating it’s okay because they deem the words okay.

        You’re a shitty person if you find that funny, or you take serious matters and make them a joke to you so you don’t need to care. That’s even worse.

          You are a very stupid human being. Please, go back to your cave, preaching water but drinking wine. Your intelligence level is a new low for humanity.

          Also, contrary to you, I didn’t use any swear word.

        Everything does, that’s the point.

        And what’s wrong with bowel movements? They are a daily part of everyone’s bodies and life.

          Poop is gross. Maybe you are from one of those countries where people shit in the street and call it acceptable or something.

            No, we just talk about bodily functions and don’t shame people for what everyone does. Babies shit and piss themselves, accidents happen, and adults need help in their senior years as well. Does this shock you? You also shit and wipe your ass everyday. Don’t be a bloody prude.

            You’re American aren’t you?
