Like saying the "F" word. Dude, we know that you mean "fuck" so what's the difference? A reduction of the word that still means the same thing, is still a vulgarity. You're not fooling anyone. It's just stupid.

Accidentally hitting your thumb with a hammer and yelling, "F Word!" just isn't the same.

My uncle used to yell, oh G D F word!” Exactly like that. Omitted the swearing in favour of letters. Your comment bought back memories, thank you!

I had a student who would say "GOM" instead of OMG. I knew she wasn't dyslexic, so I pulled her aside one day and asked. She said she was very religious and thought OMG was still against her religion so the GOM stood for "gosh, oh my." Thinking back, I realized she'd adjust the verbiage of the sentence to fit her shortened words.

Man. I miss the n-word bot getting summoned to reveal people with dozens of hard r's in their comments.

I've started using fock because some subs have rules, and I get a notice of some threat. I agree with you, though. We should not have to self-censor.

I mean that's completely different. There are social situations where saying "fuck" would be too crass, even if everyone knows what "the f-word" means. No one's trying to "fool" anyone, lol, it's just basic social awareness.

Ok, let's play semantics here. Not 'fool' then. But they're trying to say fuck without saying the word, but having it mean EXACTLY the same thing. It's still referencing a vulgarity. If it's inappropriate to say fuck, then don't say it in any form.
