It's used in the exact same context. (Usually derogatory) And it certainely isn't work safe.


I did an experiment and flashed a powerpoint slide that said "Fvck"


5 out of 5 coworkers said it said the Fword.


The moderators are kidding themselves if they think fvck in the same contexts is any less offensive.

You don't use it to be less offensive. You use it to be equally offensive without setting off a content filter.

And you're kidding yourself if you think anyone cares. Mods lock flagrant abuses, but ultimately if you don't want to read it don't come here.

Dude? Who said it was less offensive? It is just used to get passed the filter.

I don't understand how mere "words" can be offensive anyway.

If you're going to be offended by a word, than anyword used in the same manner as a replacement should create the same offense, be it Fvcking or Freaking, Fetching, Effing, etc...

Who cares? Grow up.

This has been brought up numerous times. (probably about 3 or 4 times by me) The general consensus is that the word is not approved of, but since the filter doesnt block it, and people fucking use it all the time, until the filters are changed they dont kick out everyone who uses it. (but of course they have the power to, so if it is abused you arent necessarily safe)
