Are cuss words excluded from the 1st Amendment?
i couldn't find a thread relating to this, but...
are they?
if you say them in school you can get in big trouble and one time a security guard heard me and said if i cussed one more time in front of him he was gonna cite me and give me a fine...can they do that?
what do you think?

Time and place rule applies, so if you're on school grounds you can't cuss. Just like you can't yell "Fire!" in a filled movie theater. Or anything.
yeah i understand but i'd rather use cuss words then do something that might harm something regarding a topic at school...i understand saying fire or something else in school but really like the word f.uck, i use it mostly like an adjective and the teachers go crazy and call security..i think they overdo it on that...

so shouldn't the first amendment allow me to explain myself with a word associated with extreme anger?but then if this was allowed then so many other things would have to be allowed...
Why the hell are you calling them cuss words? That's like saying Oh my gosh, fudge or whatever instead of the "normal" words. Not to mention incredibly annoying.
Anyways obviously not, these laws have been made and should have been challenged with your constitution. Apparently people didn't see a conflict and made the laws.
Now personally I am very much against limiting the use of words like these or speech in general, with the possible exception of insulting or inciting others to criminal behavior, so I think you should just be allowed to do whatever the hell you want. But obviously your law makers do not agree.

How do you use f*** as an adjective? I'm interested.

At least we could call them "profanity" which adds a certain air. Cuss sounds a bit like something people "does while they is a fussin' an' a feudin'"

Originally posted by JLredUsing curse words does not violate the First Amendment, but there are times and places where using them is inappropriate. Much like slurs or hate speech. Not illegal, but certainly inappropriate.

Possibly something along the lines, though that is probably a noun.
I remember something about that in English class.
However, the way Creshosk used the word was an adjective; it defined "what kind". If I can remember correctly, if Creshosk had used a hyphen, it then becomes something like a compound word noun. What this means is that the so-called adjective does not make a complete noun (In the context in which it is being used) without the appended noun and the noun also does not make a complete noun without the appended adjective.
As it stands, thought, the way Creshosk used the word f**k, it was an adjective.
