What is Digg?222 Comments
- Koldkompress, on 10/10/2007, -5/+100What kind of ***** puts ***** first? I mean Jesus Christ, that wanker is such an arsehole, this article is full of bollocks. They can piss off with this sodding graph. I mean, what kind of ***** is such a Jew that they can't afford the bandwidth? I'm pissed off at that spastic, I mean, God, he only has to whore himself out, but it's probably because he's just *****. For ***** sake, ***** please.
- airwalkery2k, on 10/10/2007, -0/+42You can tell that study is from the U.K. The U.S. wouldn't have "spastic" on that list, and others would be higher.
- jbess, on 10/10/2007, -3/+44why is it that women can throw around "prick" all they want and it's a-ok, but if i say, "*****" in front of one woman i get the feeling the entire female race is ostracizing me for days afterwards?
that ain't right. - jmpeagle, on 10/10/2007, -0/+30see I would have thought wanker would have tipped you off
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -1/+30Belgium didn't make the list?
- persept, on 10/10/2007, -0/+28You don't have to censor your posts, I find it annoying. Plus digg already has a censor swear words option.
- lordtyros, on 10/10/2007, -2/+26I think they mean jew when used as a verb, e.g., The merchant tried to jew me.
- LexisNexis, on 10/10/2007, -0/+22Haven't you grammar Nazis done enough to the Jews?
- vibez, on 10/10/2007, -2/+24This reminds me of a game my friend played at work, The aim was to come up with the most offensive thing to print on a t-shirt. I believe the winner was -
"I shat in ur girlfriend's *****!"
It never did make it to the printers - ogmak, on 10/10/2007, -0/+22Well, they did invent/develop the "English" langauge, didn't they?
- Jazzillion, on 10/10/2007, -1/+22I use bollocks all the time in place of rubbish or nonsense. I had no clue it was so offensive.
- fragsta, on 10/10/2007, -3/+24Why are some of you pissed off that it's a list from the UK? Just because something on Digg isn't from the United Sodding States doesn't make it crap. We have a ***** voice on the web too, you *****.
- pathy, on 10/10/2007, -5/+25... Yes, it is. We're on the internet too. Ain't that amazing?
- doublsh0t, on 10/10/2007, -2/+21MIRROR: http://www.rpwiles.net/rudeness.JPG
- Treason, on 10/10/2007, -1/+20Ranking of ***** servers
- wpi97, on 10/10/2007, -4/+22How about "God" and "Jesus Christ"? I am also thrilled to find out that in the UK "Jew" is a more severe swear word than "crap".
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -4/+20stupid ***** ***** ***** ass Belgium!
- PATSCRU, on 10/10/2007, -2/+17I was pulling for *****.
- gniess, on 10/10/2007, -0/+15I like that some people (less than 25 each apparently) responded to the survey by saying the top three words are not swearing.
- rabidmonkey1, on 10/10/2007, -2/+16http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vb3IMTJjzfo
- idc5, on 10/10/2007, -1/+15I wonder how many "swear words" were used by digg users when they clicked a broken ass server.
- flamingmb, on 10/10/2007, -5/+19Why the ***** is "Jew" on there? Thats like someone yelling "hey you catholic!"
- dignews, on 10/10/2007, -0/+13In the UK Paki is a very bad word
- charlie55, on 10/10/2007, -2/+15***** is clearly the worst. think of which word would be worst if a politician were heard saying it, or if you accidentally said it at work. ***** is off the charts. it is a career ruiner. it is the nuclear bomb of words.
- keithc01, on 10/10/2007, -1/+14***** is definitely worse than *****. especially around chicks.
- Toshers, on 10/10/2007, -1/+14.uk?
Oh dear. Way to reaffirm his point. - YoshoKatana, on 10/10/2007, -1/+13Actually, that's a pretty common geek reference. The Hitchhiker's Guide and Monty Python are staples of geek comedy. If you don't understand these references, please get the ***** off my internets. Wanker.
- smackywentz, on 10/10/2007, -3/+14I find "God Damn" is always followed by a bit of silence. Maybe because I'm in the deep south, not sure.
- Frozo, on 10/10/2007, -3/+14If you were forced to say one in front of your mother, which one would YOU choose? lol Seriously, everyone knows ***** trumps *****.
- craggatt, on 10/10/2007, -1/+12bugger does not mean ***** off or piss off, its an expresion of annoyance eg.
Bugger! i have shat my pants. - inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+10I've always found the US aversion to "damn" to be a bit silly. It's the religious strictness at work. In UK or Australia, 'damn' or 'god damn' are hardly considered swearing at all.
- fiveoldroad, on 10/10/2007, -0/+10Don't rely on this list if you have a British girlfriend. You can probably get away with asking her if she fancies a shag, calling her a slag though will lead to violent retribution...
- thirdman, on 10/10/2007, -1/+11In the UK its a politically incorrect term of abuse for an ungainly or physically inept person, as in "You're such a spastic" (also colloquially abbreviated to "spa", "spaz", "spag", "spack", "spacko" and "spacker"), derived from a popular misconception that those with any physical disability resulting in spasticity would necessarily also have a mental or developmental disability.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spastic - lordtyros, on 10/10/2007, -0/+10This isn't boards.ign.com
curse freely. - piratearggghhh, on 10/10/2007, -2/+12They also forgot one of my personal favorites: douchebag.
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+10Plus, you invented the language.
- EBFoxbat, on 10/10/2007, -0/+10Burried with "***** juggling thunder-*****"
- whataboutdave, on 10/10/2007, -0/+9Zeus!
Trying it on for size. No, not offensive. - echolalia, on 10/10/2007, -0/+9What about spastic? Why is it 32% very severe and ranked 15th? I can't figure that one out. And didn't a video game get recalled for using it in Europe? I don't understand the world--nothing makes sense anymore.
- kentifer, on 10/10/2007, -0/+9In Canada it's pretty severe as well.
- fiveoldroad, on 10/10/2007, -0/+8Bugger = Sodomise (but often used as a generic swear word - 'bugger off' - or even a term of affection - 'the old bugger')
Sodding - also from sodomise, but again not very offensive - dazeg, on 10/10/2007, -0/+8Unless she's from Essex...
- crashflow, on 10/10/2007, -0/+8*BUZZER* Koldkompress, you are fined one credit for a violation of the verbal morality statute.

- WaterDragon, on 10/10/2007, -2/+9%*&@# that &*%@ Digg Effect!
- DephexTwin, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7Then you're doing it wrong.
- ChromaVita, on 10/10/2007, -1/+8Because nobody actually wants to be jewish...
- Kyrgizion, on 10/10/2007, -2/+9Dugg for "Belgium" (monthy python reference)
- Ace75, on 10/10/2007, -2/+9Yep, definitely a UK list. Here is what the respective US conversions might be (correct me if I am wrong you brits):
Wanker? = Jerk-off, Tosser, Asshat
Bollocks? = Balls
Spastic? = Retard, Moron
Paki? = Hajji, Raghead (racism is bad...mmm kay)
Slag? = Slut
Bugger? = ***** off, Piss off
Bloody? = *****' A, *****, Fricking
Sodding? = Damn, ***** e.g. I had to walk up the whole damn/sodding hill.
Shag? = Lay/Laid, *****, Boink
Arse/Arsehole? = Ass, ***** (duh) - MikeXpop, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7Eh, I don't consider it a swear. I think it's a horribly inappropriate word and wouldn't be caught saying it, but I don't think of it as swearing. It's a slur; that's different.
