Sorry if this is a bit long. As it is adapted from the AGF challenge of wikipedia user Fill, it ended up about the same length. Hope you enjoy it.

In view of the impending admission of minors here, we are obliged to changed WP:DGAF to WP:DGAD. Jonny's version, of course, will be called WP:EGAD.

Do you mean, don't give a d*mn? That's worse to me, I had a nan who was a Catholic convert. I still am disturbed by the glib use of the word d*mn- it's one of my few semantic hangups. Do people care not for their immortal souls? smile.gif

And why would it endanger your immortal soul to say that you do not damn the thing in question?

You do not give a d*mn for- it is an oath, mentioning a subject which should not be mentioned lightly and in vain. Damnation is no laughing matter biggrin.gif It's a good job she sneaked me plenty of sweets to make up for this indoctrination lol

The blog writes

Shouldn't that be Black Country?

You are confused.

To say "I damn X" is to say I condemn X. So what?

To say "May God Damn X" is an oath that invokes Divinity to the cause of Vanity.

To say "I do not give a damn about X" is neither here nor there.

I suppose so but usually the word "damn" implies a shortened reference to damnation, rather than just meaning condemnation. Arguably, we are not in a position to damn, only god can damn, so no-one should say that they damn anything. biggrin.gif

Oh I don't know lol it was just a thing that I have about the word, I admit it's daft as I don't even have a religious faith.
