I'd say it around anyone.
It's not bad at all.

I don't consider it a bad word, but if used in a certain way it might be seen in a negative way.

Example:
Person A: My wife had an affair and the guy she slept with was HIV +.
Person B: Damn


Person A: STFU noob and go back to balamb.
Adiman: That's not nice, so here's a warning for you.
Person A: These damn adimans or I hate these damn adimans or any variation similar to those.

This, admins pls read.

I don't understand why trying to censor words from people teaches anyone anything. What does a child learn from being told that they shouldn't say the word damn. They get told they shouldn't say it because it's bad......uh why why why why.

The real problem in my eyes are parents having shiii grammar and spreading it to there kid. Parents from my generation who say *** as a verb, noun, adjective. Yeah then saying swear words isn't productive. I never condone cuss words, I just want people to open up there vocab.

words that promote phobic behavior and thoughts, Like homophobic, trans phobic racist, body and sex shaming stuff. Now that's what I consider a swear but not stuff like damn f**k shiiii.

Using all words in moderation compels people to learn new words.

I looked it up online and read that 78% of people think damn is a bad word, 80% of those people were males.

The patriarchy is coming we are all doomed

"Language!"

Well, it has been twisted into "lookin' fine", however yea, it's a bad word. Why? Because it is used "to declare (something) to be bad, unfit, invalid, or illegal."

For example: to damn someone to hell, god damn you

Your going to hurt yourself and others with your ignorance one day.

I've never given you the space to be a troll, in my mind. Your completely serious all the time.

I'd say it's more informal/way-you-would-talk-to-your-friends than a swear word.
More bogan but not necessarily bogan. sort of like the word Bae.

Giving me rep and then putting the reason as "-rep" does not cause me to lose rep, lol.

Yes it does
 

yes it does

I haven't watched it since I was like 13, but when WWE changed to its current kids-friendly programming it became incredibly watered down. The word "damn" is still used as one of the wrestlers main gimmicks:



So if it is good enough for the pre-watershed WWE, I don't consider it a swear word.

with modern language, i dont think its a swear word, but if a teacher said it in secondary school, would you look at them twice?

my friend used that word in his status and got pmed by an admin hahahah saying that he should remove that word or the admin will reset it.
