Bang!Zoom! Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 I saw one of those just the other day! I was shocked by it. I'm pretty hard to shock too. Badlands, Roosevelt Park, July 2008 was memorable. Worst one I ever saw in my life was a young man, about 15 or so..walking around the store with his mom, who was in appearance, super-duper-mooper clean cut & manicured. On his tshirt was the acronym for something close to "milk" - it was totally obvious the mom had zero clue, she'd probably of grounded him within an millimeter of his life if she knew what it meant. I felt bad for her, but wasn't my place. It was obvious he was wearing it for the shock value. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raceNzanesmom Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 Nope. Even before I was a Christian, and young and wild, I thought there are certain things that don't belong on a t-shirt. The f-word and it's variations would be one of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just when I think I've seen it all, I see more :confused: Now if I observe (will remain nameless) folks allowing their daughters to wear those shirts I will be shocked. If you can't wear a piece of clothing in front of your kids (or mother) you might want to make it into a grease rag!

TravelingChris Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 No, and I don't care for it, regardless of the politics. I saw an ad that came out by the other side that had f****** in it and I didn't like that either. But I know I am losing the argument, at least in my family. I am the only one here who only very, very rarely will say bad words. It is my regret that I couldn't get my dh to change his language (not that he does it all the time but enough that all the kids picked it up to use when angry or frustrated). My youngest did tell me that she was doing it a lot less when her brother and sister, both with very impulsive ADHD, weren't living at home. (Her brother has moved out to his own apartment now and sister is home for the summer but will go back to college in less than 2 months).

LaxMom Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 Nnnnnnnnope. I don't have a problem with anyone saying it (including elected officials... I believe in using the whole language) but I do have a problem with walking around with sentiments that are sure to inflame/offend written on one's chest/back. I have a George Carlin show shirt that has something that would be offensive to many - as he was - and never wear it outside of my yard. I love the shirt, which is from one of the last shows before he passed away, and very Carlin, but I think it would be rude to wear out and about. (I did lol at the BFD shirt further down the page on Zazzle. What an unfortunate acronym for a fire department) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghee Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 Oh. My. WORD!!! I had to google it, and that is just vile. No, I wouldn't wear that shirt, or any other that had that word or *the letter* on it. I know people who would, though. Not for the cause, but for the shock value. I consider them somewhat mentally dull. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 No, I wouldn't wear one or let my kids, but I have to confess to two things: One, there was a sparkly tee-shirt at a winery that said, in pink rhinestones, "Wine takes the b**** right out of me." I totally :lol: and wanted the shirt, but I couldn't wear that in front of my kids so...no dice. Two, there was a writer's column in which the advice given to combat writer's block was, "Just WRITE! Write like a mother******!" Now, I NEVER use that word, but there is still something hilarious to me about this as a quote. There are coffee cups with that on it and, in my weird fantasies, wherein I own a little cottage out back that is my writing studio, where kids don't come and a multitude of cats hang out, I maybe would keep the cup. It's true. I have a dirty streak buried deep within. :tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goldberry Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 I hate it and I think it's horrible when I see people out in public with it. I am embarassed for my daughter. I am not hesitant to say that when I see someone wearing a shirt with profanity on it the thought "no class" instantly comes into my mind. When DD was in elementary school, there was a car there in the dropoff line every day with a bumper sticker that said, "I hate Barbie--that b**** has everything". I don't see why that would be considered free speech when I had to sit in my car behind her with my 7 year old. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoggirl Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 I just complained about this at Wal-mart only it was a tatoo. This person was not a Wal-mart associate - he was doing some sort of inventory work - but he appeared to be an associate as he had on a navy shirt and khaki pants. The "F" word was tattooed on his lower arm. I complained to the floor manager. I said he needed to be covered up. By the time I left the store (about five minutes later) I saw him out front on a cell phone - probably asking someone to bring him a long-sleeved shirt. ETA: I have heard Furman University has "FU" t-shirts. This is funny to me. Maybe I am a hypocrite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wabi Sabi Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 I probably wouldn't wear it because political t-shirts (or anything with a slogan, really) just aren't my thing, but I don't think it's a big deal or particularly shocking. It doesn't actually have a curse word on it, just the letter F. Wouldn't bother me at all to see it on someone else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeslieAnneLevine Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 I think the letter F as part of an acronym is definitely less crude than the word itself. It wouldn't bother me to see someone in a bfd or wtf shirt. I remember seeing a SILF shirt with a picture of a sandwich on it. I would feel silly to be offended by that. That reminds me, on the People of Walmart site there was a guy wearing the same shirt except it had a sheep on it!! :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I think while there are usually better word choices, in this case, (IMO), it was exactly that. Honestly I wouldn't buy that particular shirt because I don't like the design. And I actually do not have the chutzpah to wear it in my neck of the woods even if I did. But, I still wouldn't be offended. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
