DMcB Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 While on a Christian Hip Hop website, I watched a video to a song that I felt was fantastic... I also read the comment thread to see if others were equally excited about this artist/song...turns out much of the comment thread was dedicated to the fact that the man said "beaver dam" in his rap. He didn't say "God beaver dam", or "beaver dam you", but instead "beaver dam right." The term was used in a positive context...think: "beaver dam right we're best friends." Now, some in the thread said they weren't going to listen to the song because of this lyric...and expressed disappointment in the artist, as they recognized his talent and the otherwise amesomeness of the song. I completely understand holding Catholic/Christian artist/entertainers/etc. to a different standard than the secular world - and I certainly appreciate those creating art, entertainment, literature, etc. with Christian sensibilities in mind. But my first question is this: Are those "boycotting" this song/artist over the word "beaver dam" going too far? So while I understand I may be showing my slip on this one, if 'beaver dam' is a curse word, I gotta ask - Why? Thanks for your time and understanding on this one.

InPersonaChriste Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 Yeah... Sorry, I don't know the swear fiddlers... Which actually makes me want to test them, but I wont.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AccountDeleted Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 I had to google the term to see what it means and found this thread on phatmass about swear words... sounds like it is a 'curse' as in the original meaning of curse as opposed to just a swear word.

DMcB Posted December 7, 2011 Author Share Posted December 7, 2011 LR: Yeah, I did get a little chuckle out of "previewing" my post only to find the D-word replaced with beaver dam...but, being the intrepid dimwit that I am, I still had to ask. I can only imagine how the OP must read...so I should state that I am not being a punk looking to bicker over words; nor am I bothered that the D Bomb is filtered on PM. In fact, I rarely use the word as it does seem rather unbecoming. Then again, the fact that these words are called "curse words" could be the key to understanding the root of all their evil. Sadly, I don't have any clue on this one...but I'm trying ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InPersonaChriste Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 (edited) They're called curse words because they are bad magic..... And they are magic because they are stored in the emotional receptors of the brain and not where the other words are stored. And I will stop being nerdy....

DMcB Posted December 7, 2011 Author Share Posted December 7, 2011 IPC...if the bad magic words are stored in brain receptors, where are all the non-bad magic words stored? And what/who are "fiddlers"? ...I'm starting to think I need to polish up before calling myself Catholic around here...you all have instant-recall knowledge that I am shamefully unaware of.

I have been here since 2007 but still had to start a thread about all the relationships here because I simply didn't know who was related to whom and how. Ask questions but be prepared to be teased and laughed at - sometimes you have to work a little harder to get a 'serious' response from anyone. But at heart, I think most of us are basically pretty nice people. Edited December 7, 2011 by nunsense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
