I’m not talking about people censoring their words, I mean when people use frick instead of fuck and stuff like that.
Dunno why but whenever I hear it or see it written I just picture children

Curse worse are also immature
Or they have/ or around lot of children…..?
I feel like the number of actual kids on Reddit has increased relatively recently, as if some mass exodus of kids flooded this site sometime shortly after the COVID pandemic shit started dying down.
They’ve always been here, but before COVID, it felt like the young adults were in the majority, like 80% were 20-30 year old adults. But now it feels more like 60% are 13-14 and 40% are over 18, so the adults are in the minority now.
Whenever I see people bitch about other people using or not using curse words, they sound like children to me.
Adults get to use whatever words they want. If someone says “Shoot” instead of “shit” or “heck” instead of “hell,” what is it to me? Nothing.
Adults who are confident don’t fucking care if someone else thinks not using curse words makes them sound childish.
When you are a child it is considered “adult language.” When you are an adult using curse words is considered “childish.”
cursing is because you dont know what word to use instead.
Like using um & err.
Not unpopular.
I guess it just feels odd because they recognize that it is improper to use vulgar language but at the same time they are not able to use more refined and elegant language to express their anger or dismay. So they just substitute some word in, and it feels awkward.
I agree it’s kind of cringeworthy to hear a redditor say “heckin” or whatever, but for the most part I don’t really care.
they are words they gonna hear them.
When people constantly use curse words, they sound like children.
This some controversial dookie.
Well, frick…
It’s so they don’t lose monetary gain from their content, so they basically out themselves. Let them.
That’s because you’re so narrow-minded that you believe everyone has to want to use the same curse words. Some of us just don’t like the “normal” words. I substitute frick because I don’t like how fuck sounds. It’s just a weird sounding word to me. Like how some people hate the sound of the word moist, that’s how I feel about fuck.
Being an adult doesn’t mean you have to swear. I swear like a pro, but sometimes I say crappie or son of a biscuit. Why? Because I’m an adult and I can.
Cheese and crackers and God bless America, people, ease up there.
Awesome post
Stop saying “freakin”around a group of adults Sean, you’re 32, it’s fucking weird
Well yeah, that’s usually because they’re trying to be child friendly when using them.
What the fudge!?
Frick off
Yeah it’s super annoying. And I hate it more when people bitch about curse words. Like they’re only bad because some idiot 100s of years ago said “don’t say these words they’re bad”. They’re literally just synonyms for normal words. And especially people who try to tell us “stupid” or “shut up” are bad words, especially if people deserve it.
I hate how people make substitutes cringe though like “hecking”.
What the frick are you on about
As an adult I give 2 fucks less if I sounds a child.
I used to not swear, now I hate myself for learning to swear especially with children around me now. I have to set an example so I am getting back to basics in terms of self control. People who substitute other words for curse words are people who try to be better and should be admired it also reminds me of Ned Flanders which is an adorable man. diddly
Agree! Just fucking say it!
It’s called colorful language for a reason, it can spruce up what you’re saying lol. Now being obscene and saying fuck/fuckin every 4th word, ok now you just sound dumb
…why do people care? Kind of beyond me honestly.
This is a bullpoopie opinion. I don’t like these ducking posts popping up on my gosh darn feed.
frick i dont mind, same thing goes for “shoot”, “heck”, or “dangit”. what i fuckin hate is the use of “ahh” and “unalive”.
What the actual frick? I swear to heckin’ GOD that you don’t know what you’re jabbering about gosh dang it!!
I mostly just don’t do it because I have an irrational fear that my mom is going to find my social media. And if she ever saw me say a curse word, she would probably come to my dorm with a slipper. But occasionally, you will hear me say actual curse words.
Whenever I see the word “heck” I picture Bob Ross
Also whenever you ask them why cursing is bad, their logic never makes sense. It’s only considered bad because society told you it’s bad. And some will argue that it’s bad because of the way we use the words, but how is it any different from using replacement words to mean the same thing?
I never understand why you are not allowed to swear around older children. I mean, young children, yes, they just repeat what they heard and that can be very funny… I mean, very shitty in the wrong situation.
But like 8+? Just teach them good swear words and when to use them. Brocke a glass? Let the child say “shit!”. Received a bad grade? The kid needs to know they can’t swear on the teacher (in public lol).
They will pick up these words anyway, they just need to understand when it is okay to use them and when it is inappropriate
Fudge that
Whereas cursing to you sounds wise and mature?
This is what happens when you meet a stranger in the alps
Agreed. Worked out with a trainer than said “It was hot like heck” but then said “shitty” later on so it just irritated me. I don’t mind cursing but make it make sense. “Hot like hell” should be the proper verbiage because hell is hot. (Don’t ask me to explain cold as hell please). I completely avoid substitutes or curse phrases if I’m in a situation I can’t or don’t want to use them. Substituting a word for a curse word is just making a new curse word that sounds better.
I’m the opposite. When I see people using curse words a lot, I picture children trying to sound mature and failing.
I find it even worse when they use a made up word from a TV show, like “frell” (Farscape) or “frack” (Battlestar Galactica). It’s just so cringe.
For forks sake.
What the fudge.
This sounds like what a 15 year old would say haha
I often think the exact opposite. There is nothing more immature than intentionally using certain words that do have an alternative. Part of it is knowing kids repeat everything the adults say, even if unintentional. I remember one time when my son stayed the weekend at my parents and his uncle came to visit and every other word when he is around is f**k. So not knowing he had visited, we pick up our 2 yr old and all the way home it was “f” no, “f” you, etc. My husband wanted to laugh because in away he hoped our son was saying that stuff to grandma. Instead he tried to convince him it was supposed to be “fluff”.
I had someone say “frick you” to me and I laughed in her face. I get some people don’t swear but then come up with a better insult cuz I wasn’t close up being offended
Not every situation requires a full-on fuck or shit. And other times it’s simply more fun to say “oh sugar” than “oh shit”.
i only do that when i’m on online spaces that censor curse words, or unironically as a joke
You just haven’t discovered the power of a well timed “dagnabbit” or “dadgumit” yet. Don’t even get me started on the absolute might of a good “doggonit”.
Politeness, ever heard of it?
If you do it the right way it’s really funny
Don’t watch “the good place”!!! 😝
To curse, or not to curse: that is the question.
Whether ’tis nobler of the mouth to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous f-bombs;
Or to take arms against a sea of swear words
And by opposing end them…
I work for a predominately orthodox Jewish company (I am straight Cajun from backwoods Louisiana and had never even met a jew before I started this job) I hear substitution Curse words all day…Their favorite is “Flitz” “What the FLITZ is going on with this autospreader!” Another personal favorite is “shmuck” instead of asshole. I have heard this one before but now I hear it daily.
The one that kills me is the word sex. Spicy-sleep is the dumbest shit I’ve ever heard. If you’re not mature enough to use the word sex, maybe don’t engage in adult activities
If they are silly then I guess, but you’d be surprised how many basic and natural exclamations are minced oaths of some kind. “Gosh!” for God, that kinda thing.
Yes but reddit bans you for being agressive.
Frig off!!!!
Upvote because this is a true unpopular opinion.
For some reason, you think swearing should be the default setting for adult speech. I would argue that the people who constantly swear are more like children, who can’t use a more expansive vocabulary
I like a nice balance of cussing. Not too much, and no substitutes. I’m a millennial mom so I’m guilty of the SHITaki mushrooms tho
I had a guy I used to work with stop cussing. I’ve never heard a cuss word out of him, and I asked why, because he does the “shoot” “frick” “dang” words. He used to cuss a lot, like everyone else does, but chose to drop that in favor of the “public friendly” words. Plus, he’s got kids.
Thts why i just let my child say the curse word

You sound like a child when you say “curse words” instead of “swearing”.
Shut the front door!
agreed. either dont use them at all or use them as they are
13 year old who just learned curse words opinion
My brother stopped swearing about 10 years ago. His son was old enough to talk and was repeating him. He told his son that those are bad words. His son wanted to know why he used those words if they are bad and eventually asked him to stop using them. So he did.
Instead of saying something like, WTF?? My brother will say, what the pickles??? I’m so proud of him. I tried to stop swearing. I just can’t.
Idk I think it’s funny in a good way. Now I recall in late elementary school to middle school we all cussed cause we were cool and adult teehee. That to me is as childish as it gets.
I think we all curse in anger. Some of us just talk like that. I’ve found people who curse in every sentence come off uneducated at worst and rude at best. But it seems like you can tell who just talks like that and who does it to sound more important or up to date.
I’ve had people fussing to me and not at me…. yet hearing all that cussing made me think you know what? I don’t enjoy someone talking to me like this even though it’s not at me. I don’t deserve to hear it nor does anyone else.
Yeah, some just make me roll my eyes… But, vive la difference! Would be a real travesty if everyone talked the same way. And honestly, this aspect does become a part of someone’s personality, endearing or otherwise, dangit. (which I HATE, dadgummit)
Look, I cuss as much as anyone. But sometimes, “frick” is a better word for a given context than “fuck.” Like not even talking about social context or censoring. They have two very different vibes, different connotations, different feels, and sometimes, frick is just the better choice.
And those same people look at you like a child for not being able to control your tongue
Wow we’ve arrived at a paradox
To me, people sound like children when they use curse words.
