it goes like “ok, lets go”, and then in a limey voice says “Cheerio”. I like it better than the “Call me maybe” summer jam.

Mr Male Horse,

No need to use derogatory words to describe an accent in a public forum.

But then, I wouldn’t expecte anything better from a name like that with a refined taste in music, would I?

I don’t really think limey is insulting.  I always just thought of it as sort of like when people call US soldiers Yankees or whatever in old movies.

I used to smoke pot and go to class.  

Sneak in ten minutes late with a bullsh*t excuse.  

Slink down low at my desk.  

Pray to god nobody asked me any questions.

I was the best teacher ever.

It’s by Karmin, it’s called Broken-hearted.

Apparently, “limey” is something about British navy people having oranges or something for vitamin C. I didn’t think it was derogatory, but if the only UK person here thinks so, I guess that is a more valid opinion…

The Limey with Terrence Stamp: great movie

They used limes.  By chewing on them throughout the day (back in the sailing ship days) they got vitamin C.  The vitamin C kept them from getting scurvy which was super problematic back then on long voyages.  Nobody understood the link at first, they just knew it helped.  Its use spread throughout the British fleet and hence other sailers called them limey’s.

But why would any other profanity make more sense? If you say “fuck!”, it’s like saying “having sex”. “Sex sex sex seeexxx…”

Not sure if that is where the f*bomb came from, but a plausible transition would be hand signal for f*ck  > flick fingers > word becomes bad

Most “bad words” were initially simply considered “less proper” than others in a time where being refined and gentlemanly was a primary ambition for most.  As a result, people rose their kids to never say these words and it eventually snowballed to what we have now, which is waaay out of proportion to their actual impact (which is essentially no impact).  Within that context, you can see why any reference to saucy acts, feces, bodily organs, or insinuating that one was a female dog would have been placed on this list.  

Several forms of an uncooth word, such as the f-bomb were considered more vulgar or lower class slang than others, so they were made even worse.  Then over times, things evolve as described above.

Bloody would have been a synonym for dirty, violent, corrupt or rougish, particularly in political situations, and hence became a “bad” adjective.

Is it really a profanity?  I was under the impression that you could say “bloody hell” in public without people being offended.

You can fondle the cube, but it will not respond.
