I don't use it as there's no mistake as to what it truly is ... another "F" bomb being dropped; it still has the same explosion and it still has the same meaning of it's four letter 'f' word counterpart which is extremely offensive.

Merriam Webster can't clean it up. Folks who use the above word are literally saying the true 'f' word.

Here's scripture:

'.. shun [even] the very appearance of evil.." I Thessolonians 5:22

1 Thessalonians 5

The Day of the Lord

1 Now, brothers and sisters, about times and dates we do not need to write to you, ..

2 for you know very well that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night.

3 While people are saying, “Peace and safety,” destruction will come on them suddenly, as labor pains on a pregnant woman, and they will not escape.

4 But you, brothers and sisters, are not in darkness so that this day should surprise you like a thief.

5 You are all children of the light and children of the day. We do not belong to the night or to the darkness.

6 So then, let us not be like others, who are asleep, but let us be awake and sober.

7 For those who sleep, sleep at night, and those who get drunk, get drunk at night.

8 But since we belong to the day, let us be sober, putting on faith and love as a breastplate, and the hope of salvation as a helmet.

9 For God did not appoint us to suffer wrath but to receive salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ.

10 He died for us so that, whether we are awake or asleep, we may live together with him.

11 Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing.

My Dad said this me, "Baby, as pretty as you, don't have an ugly mouth, watch what you say, not even the 'sound alike' words."

Cursing is of the heart. I have stopped saying other strong words that aren't technically curse words because they still reflect the same sentiment.

 

[Rainbow Dash]

You know I have said the word in OP while upset and the Lord convicted my heart. It was like I was cursing, so I had to get a hold of that. God dealt with me immediately and I am thankful. It could have gone further if I had not listened and obeyed.

I agree. I'm working on eliminating this kind of language from my vocabulary. Besides, it just sounds so inelegant.
