Using a bad word in a movie quote

<p>I wanna use a movie quote that has the word "a$$hole" in it. The quote itself has no inappropriate meaning, but it just has that word to describe someone. Is it ok if I use it, or should I try to find something else?</p>

<p>By the way this is for the question on the supplement that tells us to put our favorite line from a book or a movie.</p>

<p>Can someone please help me out. I have to submit this soon.</p>

<p>Wow, this is quite an awesome idea!!! If you don’t mind my asking, could you please give me your quote so I can finish my application as well?</p>

<p>Lol. Any other opinions?</p>

<p>I dunno, I wouldn’t. Keep it PG.</p>

<p>Never use curse words in college applications. It’s distasteful.</p>

<p>The fact that you have to ask if it is okay should give you a hint that it’s probably not.</p>

<p>Would advise against.</p>

<p>Refer to 3,4,10,17,40, 44 in particular in terms of app etiquette. Actually, the entire thing is a pretty nice guide.

<p>Thank you guys for all the replies. I ended up going with something else, but in case you were interested, the quote is: “You’re not an a$$hole, Mark. You’re just trying so hard to be.” Said in The Social Network. Idk, just thought it was kinda funny.</p>

<p>^^ You made the wise choice NOT to use it!</p>

<p>Yeah, now you won’t be rejected instantly. If your application also contains other masterpieces which convey your deep and original thought, not submitting that quote is a bit cruel to the adcoms, though.</p>
