It seems to me...Just treading through all the treads I see the word **** used alot :D. Like oh Armada ***** this and Mango ***** that...It seems **** has been incorporated in the community, like everytime i watch a melee vs match I hear someone saying **** and alot of youtube comments too lol....I know Mango has those **** videos, but I think like Obama's campaign slogan...we need a change! So lets figure out a way to say I ***** someone a new way! I know when I'm play CoD with ppl they never used the word ****.. but when I was playing with SS, Tang(he was hella funny kept saying SS beat armada), Myko, and my friend Kurtis they use the word ****.


I personally use it too much, thats why I am looking for a change...like kick ***, kiss the baby(ochocinco <3), , MegaFinished.... I don't know.....

p.s I think I will forever use the word......it is sacred in the way we use it

I found myself saying it without thinking much of it.
Then my friends started saying it either because it caught on with them or just to spite me, and I didn't realize how annoying it sounds until they directed it at me.

I tried to stop saying it so much after that, but I still slip sometimes D:.

Well while I try not say it out loud unless im around smashers if its within the community theres nothing wrong with it, but I've personally said stuff like "Get wrecked" and I have heard a lot smashers say wrecked to.

I was around my friends (NONE of them smashers) and out of habit I yell "Get *****!" And everyone just blankly started at me.

I started saying "Get *****!" from when I played Halo 2. It was convenient not having to learn a new phrase.

related topic:

one reason i absolutely hate the beginning of the school year is cuz im used to an entire summer of nothing but smash.

it's soooo hard to re-adjust to not saying "no johns", "****", "that ain't falco", and other bull****

**** isn't really used often in Brawl. I think its very common in Melee cause Melee grew along with Halo 2 in 2005/2006 and in Halo 2 the word **** is overused to the point that the league (MLG) banned the use of the word and you can even get DQ'd/thrown out for saying it (to much).

Ultimately the word is just another sign of what a male dominated field competitive video games are. My GF hates the word so I've pretty much stopped using it/try my best not to. We do need an alternative.

I don't really use **** anymore. I find imitating the Unreal Tournament announcer to be far more entertaining.

Ludicrous kill!, Dominating!, etc.

I don't really use the term anymore. It seems that making sexual references when mentioning smash is becoming more of a trend. I use "wrecked" or "destroyed" and it can be used in most sentences that would otherwise have had the word "****" in them. It kinda makes me sad seeing so much sexual language around.

the best is the standalone "****" statement after the business was done.

personally, the only good replacement for **** is "get f**ked"

lol yeah, we def need an alternative so that Alpha Zealot can say **** in front of his GF.

i think it would be sexist to make the effort not to say **** for the sake of women cause it puts them on an unequal level, denying that they are also capable of equally unpleasant non-consented sex. Lil' Wayne got *****. it def happens.

****.

**** isn't a melee exclusive term.

It will keep being said until all communites stop saying it.
Someone has to take the initiative to stop saying it. All the communities aren't going to stop saying it simultaneously. And why should it matter what other communities say? Most of those communities don't even respect smash as a competitive game.

And I've actually seen "molest" used before.

And yet in your signature is someone defending the competitive term gay, lol.

while i am clearly fine with using that term, I can't help feel that your post and your signature kind of clash a bit.

**** is an ugly word, I would use "wrecked" or "destroyed" or maybe even "annihilated" as a replacement. The reason is because in own my language "****" sounds extremely vulgar and has always the sexual reference in it, it would never be used in a way that it is used in english in gaming communities. Then again, I tend to say "****" with the Spanish smashers as it is pronounced differently (ra-pe) and sounds actually funny, it's like an inside joke making a bit of fun of english.

You know how waffles (and I'm assuming WC) says "Get F***ed up!"
Is that any different? and yet, I have no problem with it. It's weird. It should be the same, but it isn't...

I'd imagine the people who'd take most offense to the use of '****' are people who have had experiences with it or family members/close friends who have had experiences with it. I guess I'd be fine with it at a smash tournament or something if no one is saying anything... But I do know one guy who just sighs and gets really annoyed when we use that word so I just kinda stop. I'm not saying he might've had experiences with it, but some people really do take that word at face value and get offended. Unfortunately, the internet is not so sensitive.















get ***** ahhhhh ****

Zakat i like your sig dude...

i can't wait until people stop associating that word with homosexuals. the worst argument is the world is that living-in-the-past **** where people are like "that word thrived from insulting homosexuals!!", yeah and this nation was born and thrived on the growth of tobacco and marijuana, just cause it came from somewhere doesn't mean that's what it is. the present is what matters.


@choknater: unfortunately my ***.

I think it's interesting to discuss the use of the word "****" in other languages. In my language, the word is also used as "butchering" a piece of litterary work, such as a bad movie adaptation, or a remake. Whenever it's used in "person x ***** person y" I get bad images in my head @_@
My smash community sometimes uses the English word though, since it's not uncommon for Danish people to use a lot of English words when they speak.

I guess the word "****" doesn't have the unfortunate sexual implication to me, because I'm not a native English speaker. I just see and hear it beeing used all the time by Americans, lol :p
