It has been taboo for more than 500 years.
But from fcuk to Four Weddings and a Funeral,
the f-word has become so
commonplace
it now seems acceptable in everyday conversation.
Is it no longer obscene? And if it isn't, what is?

No Swearing in South Pasadena This Week
March 6, 2008
Filed at 11:32 a.m. ET
The New York Times
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SOUTH PASADENA, Calif. (AP) -- What the @$%#? This community
on the edge of Los Angeles has become a cuss-free zone.
So if you're headed to South Pasadena this week, be sure to turn down the volume
on that Snoop Dogg CD, and, if the little old lady from Pasadena cuts you off in
traffic, don't even think about flipping her the bird.
Not that police will slap cuffs on you and haul your sorry, er, butt off to jail
in light of the proclamation passed Wednesday by the City Council. But you could
be shamed into better behavior by the unsettling glares of residents who take
their reputation for civility seriously.
''That's one of the purposes of this,'' Mayor Michael Cacciotti said of his
city's proclamation designating the first week of March as No Cussing Week. ''It
provides us a reminder to be more civil, to elevate the level of discourse.''
The proclamation will be in effect until Friday, and then the first week of
every March hereafter.
South Pasadena, a tranquil city of tree-shaded cottages at the base of a
mountain range eight miles north of downtown Los Angeles, isn't the first to try
to rein in potty mouths. Earlier this year, the St. Louis suburb of St. Charles,
Mo., proposed banning swearing in bars. Last year, hip-hop mogul Russell Simmons
called for an industrywide ban on racially and sexually charged epithets.
But what's different about the latest push to stop saying in public the words
that Jane Fonda and Diane Keaton recently discovered we still can't say on
television is that it was proposed by a 14-year-old boy.
''My mom and dad always taught me good morals, good values, and not cussing was
one of them,'' said McKay Hatch, the founder of South Pasadena High School's No
Cussing Club, during a recent break between study hall and tennis practice.
''I've cussed before, I'm not gonna lie to you,'' Hatch quickly added. ''But I
try not to cuss any more.''
He was in junior high school when he became fed up with all the blue language
around him.
He understood why his friends use foul language: ''They just want to fit in like
everybody else and they don't know how. They figure if they cuss maybe it's an
easy way to do that.''
But it wasn't for him.
''I finally told my friends, `I don't cuss.' And I said, `If you want to hang
out with me, you don't cuss.'''
It took a couple of years, but enough friends finally came around that Hatch
formed a 50-member club, handed out fliers and called the group's first meeting,
held June 1.
Nine months later, the No Cussing Club has a Web site, claims 10,000 members and
boasts chapters in several states and countries. Hatch considers his greatest
achievement, though, to be getting his hometown of 25,000 to become a cuss-free
zone.
He hopes to encourage cuss-free zones in other cities to improve the quality of
life.
''You have to start with the little things,'' he said.
