ya. which means that you cant accept something that is present in our society.
vulgarity is part of life.
anyway, this is another topic for another day.

me duno hokkien, but heard all those vulgarities, and understand most of them. difficult to communicate when they mix in more hokkiens
maybe secondary school should have Elective Hokkien Literature or Pure Literature in Hokkien

It's trendy and 'hip'! I think that's why the youths these days use it. Being one who lives in Singapore, I'm well aware that I've no right to justify their actions. But doesn't anyone think that this is a somewhat crude/uncivilized/indecent/vulgar/obscene/explicit/offensive/indelicate/uncouth way the teens (or even people older) are adopting to?
-
They're trying their best to blend in with their peers.
No offense, but I've found some Chinese nationals to be even more vulgar.

i find people who dun even understand simple hokkien and yet use alot of hokkien vulgarities very 'fake'.
take for example 1 classmate of mine, ang moh pai one, but loves to litter his sentences with lots of hokkien vulgarities. Almost every damn sentence of his has a vulgarity and honestly i can't stand him. Use vulgarities very hip meh?
So 1 day i told another classmate to stop doing his work and to go for lunch in hokkien. Mr Vulgar man, who was besides that classmate, asked me what did i just say. I simply smiled at him and walked off. =D

depend on which ang moh country you talking about lah... have diff english slang and different way of phrasing their sentences. then further up have even more dialects than us.

As you said they are teenagers
They`ll grow out of it .
Who in singapore never say knn or ccb before ?
-
those kids who wanna use hokkien vulgarity, must at least know what the word mean, when to use it and how to use it. that's what i feel. that's y in the past, i kept asking my parents what those words mean.
-

For some unknown reason Hailam people are born linguist and can speak other dialects with ease and nobody even need to learn their dialect.
