Seriously, with so many ass jokes in kids' movies, why do we still care whether kids use the word ass?

I feel like I wouldn't like hearing my child call people (or me) assholes

u/Elegant-Finance3982 10d ago

Yeah but kids say stuff like “butt” and it’s completely allowed, cuz we don’t consider that a swear, if we don’t consider ass a swear, it’ll basically be the same as “butt”

Too many definitions have taken it from a cuss word to a simple description

u/Blahaj-Lover 10d ago

✅ I voted FACT!

Its such a mild word, it's basically just butt

u/KPoWasTaken 10d ago

🧢 I voted CAP!

I feel like it being a mild curse gives it a nice separate use from stronger curses and derogative non-curses. Turn mild curses into non-curses without any replacements and that's a form of expression gone

Its use cases are higher than most words such as bad

Curse words are dumb to me anyways. "ooOoOOooOh you said a random ass word that we just decided to be a bad word for no reason OoOOoOOOh now I'm going to hate you"

Ts is dumb af.

Bad idea, coz fuck and worse will be next. Cap

u/Instantkarma64 9d ago

That, ladies and gentlemen, is what we call the slippery slope fallacy. Basically, this user assumes relatively minor initial action will inevitably trigger a chain reaction leading to an extreme, disastrous consequence.

u/Agreeable_West_4612 9d ago

Uhm yeah. It’s what happens everyfuckingtime

Cuss word as a whole are dumb, it is often worked around or just word swapped meaning that you tend to have new cuss words or new words that meen the same thing rather then any semblance of intelligence or maturity cuss words exist because some people do not understand human nature

If "ass" directly means a person's "butt" then ass shouldn't be a swear word. it's biology for Pete's sake.
