"beaver Dam" - A Curse Word?

[mysisterisalittlesister]

i wouldn't say beaver dam, but i don't necessarily think it's bad, really.

pax domine bretheren, i will tell you why that word is a bad word because if anyone has the right to do such a thing it is god and god alone, one can not even do that to a tree that pokes you in the eye.

[quote]Following the religious meaning, the words [i](beaver dam)[/i] and [i]g[/i][i](beaver dam) [/i]are a common form of religious [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Profanity"]profanity[/url], in modern times often [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semantic_change"]semantically weakened[/url] to the status of mere [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interjection"]interjections[/url].[/quote]

As an alternative I don't see anything wrong with using [i]dam (no beaver). [/i]Which simply means to block. eg I don't give a [i]dam[/i] ([i]no beaver)[/i] what you say! Meaning I won't stop you from saying it.

I was at a business meeting once with an incredibly hot co worker from another office. He always said mercy! when any other 20 something guy would have said d!!n or s!!t. Never saw him again, but I'll bet he was a president or managing partner later in his career. Very, very coool.
