Sticks and Stones May Break My Bones...

... but words will never hurt me.

What a load of codswallop. Is there a more untrue saying than this?
I know it's supposed to be relating to pride etc, but words can hurt as much, if not more, than sticks and stones. Agree anyone?

[China Doll]

Depends who says the words.

[Bobbisox]

load of bullsh!t salla I agree

[redman41]

Agree totally salla, as the old saying goes ' The word is mightier than the sword'.....

[Bobbisox]

it's just not necessary to be so hurtful, there are other ways

[LoftyLottie]

Yes it's completely untrue. Wounds caused by words are slow to heal and sometimes never do.

[mccfluff]

only if i can call you a t0sser and kick you in the nuts at the same time

[redman41]

Ha Ha vibra !

[Bobbisox]

like the one vibes has said
Ouch..lol

[Bbbananas]

Oh shut up Scr0te, before I kick you in the scrotum....

[rowanwitch]

sticks and stones can make you sore
Cruel words can hurt far more
The pain from a blow may soon be gone
An unkind word will linger on

[Bbbananas]

that was for vibes, not you redman. You are a very nice man who I am sure would not kick any lady in the vegetable area...

[Bobbisox]

lots of high kicks going on

[redman41]

Between all the Pins and kicks to the boll**s, we Men are taking a hell of a beating.....better check my equipment !

[Bobbisox]

I suppose it all depends on who has said them to you rowan, if you don't like them anyway you wouldn't give a flying fart!

Hi salla - yes I do agree with you - this one I always remember from my mother
Think again before you utter words that cause another pain
Wounded hearts are slow in healing - if they ever heal again
So curb your tongue for just a moment - think again
Blimey I've gone all profound aint I?
