I use certain borderline cuss words on a regular basis.? Minced oaths such as “suck”, “crap” and “screwed” come out of my mouth without much effort or thinking on my part.? A recent poll at a website called “Church Marketing Sucks“ is what got me thinking about this topic.?? The site asked its readers whether or not they thought “sucks” is a swear word.? 57% said “@#&*%, no!”? Of course, if you did think that “sucks” was a swear word you probably wouldn’t be reading a site with that word in it’s title.? But that’s beside the point.? My question to you is this, how do you draw the line between cuss words and “safe” words?? Is it an arbitrary choice on your part or do you have a certain set of guidelines you follow?
