Paladin D Posted August 1, 2003 Share Posted August 1, 2003 From what I know (and hearing other Christians use it), is it really a cuss word at all? Plus, here's some food for thought. Is the word "Holy" with the word "carp" taking the Lord's name in vain? I mean, it isn't directly saying anything about Him, right? Yeah yeah, I'm tired again... *goes to bed* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chrysologus Posted August 1, 2003 Share Posted August 1, 2003 The list of "cuss words" is arbitrary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Catholic Posted August 1, 2003 Share Posted August 1, 2003 It definitely is, although not as bad as some other swear words. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qamidalash Posted August 1, 2003 Share Posted August 1, 2003 Well, have you ever thought about what 'carp' means? I had to look it up for a project recently, and this is what I found: In Webster's New Colligate Dictionary, it means excrement. For example, if you say, ‘that’s a piece of carp,’ what you’re really saying is ‘that’s a piece of excrement’. I don’t know about you, but I think that’s disgusting! I don’t own or use stuff that’s ‘carp’!! Food for thought... in Him, Sarah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catholic Posted August 1, 2003 Share Posted August 1, 2003 I've always known what it meant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TempleofVesarius Posted August 1, 2003 Share Posted August 1, 2003 well if its bad to say "holy carp", then by the same token the use of "holy mushy mud pie" is also unexceptable...and "holy cow"....and "holy moly" we all know carp isnt holy....we arent really saying it is....its just a phrase Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paladin D Posted August 1, 2003 Author Share Posted August 1, 2003 Strong Bad (who features in a hilarious cartoon series, so it doesn't have any harmful content in it), usually says "Holy carp!" often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qamidalash Posted August 1, 2003 Share Posted August 1, 2003 I just think it's kinda nasty to say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GodsGrace Posted August 1, 2003 Share Posted August 1, 2003 lol Q you're funny!!...I think if you use the word instead of others, then it's ok .....actually I think using the word "carp" isn't bad at all. I mean it's soooo much better than the other words....getting all into the meaning of it is kinda going crazy!..lol I mean I'm not going to take it that way so why does it matter?

Qamidalash Posted August 1, 2003 Share Posted August 1, 2003 I understand what u mean, but the problem is I know some people who actually do take it seriously... tiny little side note (myself included) lol; I know I'm nuts! in Him, Sarah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joyful Posted August 1, 2003 Share Posted August 1, 2003 I don't really have a problem with any cuss words with the exception of the f word... I think the rest CAN be used in an appropriate way. You just shouldn't demean others with them. For instance: Life's a b____. ~not a misuse (although I don't believe the statement):blink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IcePrincessKRS Posted August 1, 2003 Share Posted August 1, 2003 I dunno if its actually a cuss word, its just crass and rude. I mean, its just throwing around another term for mushy mud pie. lol But not like I have room to talk, alot of times if something annoying happens in an effort not to swear I say "poo" or "mushy mud pie" or "poopy" it gets across the same idea--I cuss too much already, my concern is mainly that I don't swear around kids, including my own once he/she is born.
