shaheediyan Posted May 14, 2007 Report Share Posted May 14, 2007 On TV now. Thought this would be interesting with regards to recent discussions on Sikh youths language skills today... Cutting Edge: Mind Your F-ing Language Monday 14 May 9:00pm - 10:00pm Channel 4 A lot of teenagers swear. Some swear a lot. But is the sort of swearing where every other word is a four-letter one part of youth culture, or should their foul-mouthed tendencies be curbed? This documentary which, being plastered with f-words, is not for those with delicate sensibilities, focuses on a secondary school outside Wolverhampton where they're trying to enforce a zero-tolerance policy on bad language. What's even more interesting, though, is the analysis of what makes a word unacceptable or offensive. The schoolkids have surprising ideas about this (I didn't recognise some of their suggestions as even being English, let alone a swear word), but it's unsettling to hear the c-word discussed in such a detached, almost literary, way.
