Do you swear too much?

I am beginning to think I do. Everytime I tell the dog to F off it gets on its basket.

nicklouse

Hercule Q

All the time man 8)

Mostly when i'm alone, so no harm done - except of course the gradual homogenization of my own brain tissue.

I spend all day being polite to people on the phone . . . So I swear like a mother funker when I get home.

My dogs also respond to f*** off

Other way round for me. Have to watch my mouth around the little-uns, so when I get to work, or out with my mates, I swear like a thingy.

I dont see the need for expletives. There's enough descriptive words in the English language to describe emotions or add verbs to sentances without the need to lower the tone using a selection of 4 letter words :roll:

There are times when "go away" just simply isn't enough

xtreem

Only on the internet.

In person never.

And lately, I swear a lot on cheaters on CS 1.6. :evil:

I don't swear a huge amount, but I sometimes forget to turn it off, and end up dropping a big f-bomb in front of my friends' 8-year-old, things like that.

I swear all the time. My whole family does, really.
I don't have a problem with people swearing though. The way I see it, we are taught during childhood that some words are offensive. But we are also taught not to say words like vagina, penis, fat etc as kids.
To cling on to the notion that those words are offensive when we become adults, is as outrageous an idea as still believing in other things we were taught when children, such as Santa Claus, the toothfairy, the stork, etc.

We may have a wide vocabulary in the English language, but we don't actually have words that convey our frustration, or emotional elevation concisely, without resorting to long winded sentences.

For example...
"Those fu**ing Marzocchi 55 forks are the most worthless pieces of sh*t I've ever bought"

Vs
"These Marzocchi 55s are annoying me, and may be the worst thing I've ever bought."

The first sentence conveys my anger and dissatisfaction far more eloquently and accurately than the second sentence.


As a side note. Did anyone know that there are officially NO swear words in Welsh? We have Welsh words for almost all the english "swear" words, but they aren't considered foul mouthed in any way.

Chaz.Harding

Why are some word's innopropriate in different company? Most people wouldn't swear infront of their grandparents, or small children.

But why?

Words are only words, afterall. Can't hurt you! I feel that they are on a scale of intense-ness. For example, from weakest to strongest meaning - OK, bad, crap, terrible, useless, sh!t.

So, I **try** to restrict my swearing to my most extreme feelings for something / someone. I say try, but the Army is terrible, as everyone swears, all the time... :?

Ahh well!

Daz555

Don't really swear at all now - had to stop once my son was beginning to pick up language.

gaz047

dont worry about it chaz, i remember it being the norm. think my language has improved since i've left, but have to be careful round the nippers, god they catch on quick!! every time my eldest drops anything she shouts sugar!! so glad i changed sh*t to sugar (not literally!!) when i drop things otherwise i would be in trouble with the missus

johnnyboy29

I swear like a docker probably cause i work at one

I'm a right foul mouthed kunt. But I've got no kids and work with engineers - so am rarely restricted.

Interesting about the welsh, I also speak Spanish and if you listen to most Spaniards speak Joder (fukcer) is nearly the most common word used, and they're always calling each other coño (work that one out for yourself!) So I reckon it's a cultural thing as to whether it's offensive or not.

Is coño spanish for unt©?

"cont" is an extremely common greeting in Carnarfon as well. I'm sure anyone who's been anywhere near it will testify!

Doesn't your electronic voice-box thing automatically sensor your foul language though?
You know, "fliip you, mutha flipper", sort of thing.

Do I swear too much?
No, just the right amount.

bordsmoothieo is ironing bored in welsh
And yes i swear far to often, but fcuk it

My parents never swore in front of me but my dad was a pretty impatient driver and used one word in particular to voice his frustration. Therefore for years as a child I believed that "typical" was a swear word.

Bwrdd = table, smwddio = smoothing.

So, bwrdd smwddio = the smoothing table, or as it's known in English, Ironing board

But what does any of that have to do with anything?
