Mark me guilty of the quote mark overload crime, as well!<br />I find it so frustrating that Christians judge one another's salvation or lack thereof based on their use of these "questionable" words. <br />A lady from our church goes into the jail every week to minister to the inmates. Another church sends a couple of their leaders, and they have attacked this lady for not using KJV-only to share the Gospel, right in front of the people they are ALL supposed to be showing the love of God to. It's another extension of the language debate. It's crazy!Niki Turnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10419436634375255412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2605816413368612595.post-84692105413954114422010-11-13T08:09:07.283-07:002010-11-13T08:09:07.283-07:00Sandy,

Pastors wives shouldn't say such things. We should be setting an example. My salvation is in danger and I don't really love the Lord if I can so easily use words like that. (Yeah yeah - thanks for the judgment.)<br /><br />I too think it is the intent of the words that matters. I don't think I should use my speech to harm others - no matter what the words are that I use. <br /><br />The "F" word is offensive to most of the people I know, but to my street friends, depending on the phrase being spoken, it replaces the words "sex" or "very" as in "That is 'F'ing cool." I choose not to use that word. Some of my friends choose not to use MY three "bad" words. Also, certain "good" words have become "bad" words over the years,like the word "gay."<br /><br />I could talk about this topic for a long time, but I'm going to stop before the grammar police come to take my writer card away for my overuse/misuse of quotations marks. ;) Great post Niki!Nikihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11939695756973039908noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2605816413368612595.post-44175826520436967152010-11-12T15:23:08.731-07:002010-11-12T15:23:08.731-07:00You always write on such everyday topics and make ...You always write on such everyday topics and make us think.

I had never considered butt to be crude. What else are they going to call it at 2? I also had a woman at church chastise my son for saying darn. Again - never a word I considered a curse. <br />Seems like I could go on and on with these stories. <br />I am glad you say crap too.Heathernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2605816413368612595.post-57985031040845584572010-11-12T11:06:33.878-07:002010-11-12T11:06:33.878-07:00LOL! Do French people HAVE boogers?
My husband'...LOL! Do French people HAVE boogers?<br />My husband's latest is "son of a gun" which never really meant anything to me until I read an article about its origin... The phrase comes from babies born to "loose women" who got pregnant on ships and birthed their babies between the cannons below decks. If the baby's paternity was unknown, the birth was recorded as a "son of a gun." Makes me wonder where some of our other innocuous phrases came from.Niki Turnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10419436634375255412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2605816413368612595.post-26415749813191058212010-11-12T09:52:44.231-07:002010-11-12T09:52:44.231-07:00Wow, you have some excellent points here.

My husband can make 'boogars' sound like a really bad swear word when he is angry at a house repair and says it three times, increasing in volume each time! I wonder what the French for boogar is...Jeanette Levelliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12898750484193832082noreply@blogger.com
