3. Because some members get exited about ducks (and duct tape)

4. Bceause rcseerah syas if the frsit and lsat lttres are in the rihgt pclae

you can still decipher words pretty easily, no matter what happens in the middle.

5. Because there aren't too many possible combinations for f**k

besides the expletive that can't be said on broadcast TV, while *uc* could stand for buck, duck, huck, luck, muck, puck, suck, tuck, and yuck, as well much and such, or even duct or puce.

16. Hrm...

Funk
Fink
Folk
Flak

6. Because that's the way the "The New York Times Manual of Style and Usage" says it should be done.

7. When I want to spell out

"fuck", I write "fuck". It's not that fucking hard, and everyone knows what the fuck you mean.

[MiddleFingerMom]

9. +1 Why would one do this? Either way, the reader is going to "hear" it in their head.

10. The only word I use an asterisk with starts with an N.

and I don't use that word much so I seldom use a fucking asterisk.

[BlueJazz]

11. I sometimes make it into a secret code: kcuF

[pipi_k]

13. I'd like to know

if people do that when they speak, too, and if so, how do they pronounce those words.

In any case, my thought is...if a person can't fully commit to a swear word, then s/he should find some other word to use instead.

[Iggo]

15. They do.

They say frick and friggin and such. I don't get how they don't understand it means the same thing. It IS the same thing.

[Iggo]

14. I just say fuck.

[lastlib]

17. Because I don't want anyone to think I mean....

grey tape or waterfowl......

[Little Star]

18. Nothing wrong with the word fuck.

[lonestarnot]

19. LMAO

20. Good *uc* with this thread.
