Swearing and cursing.

Lando Griffin

I was having dinner in this fancy restraunt one evening and when I was cutting through my steak it slipped and half popped on the ground.
I said “well F**c it ya bas***d” out loud, and then looked around to see people looking at me agastly. One lady muttered “Well I never”

Do you use improper language in public?
Would you use bad language in a conversation with your boss or work people?
Do people frown upon this kind of thing?

Kiera

I use it all the time but never mean to be offensive with it.

My workmates all swear like mad. I find when you spend a lot of time with people who curse you end up doing it too. I do try not to but I do say 'fcuk' a lot... 'ah for fcuk sake' and 'fcukin' hell!' are particular favourites of mine along with 'sh*t':o. My hubbie's always giving out to me for it even though he does it himself. I don't think I curse out loud in public though.

I gave it up for Lent once, I failed miserably but my language did improve a bit.

Herb Powell

It's insane for anyone to be offended by it. Fuck the first person who tries to explain to me why it's offensive

FearDark

Im some fúcker for cursing around kids. I...just...forget.

petes

All the time. I do work with someone though that swears that much when talking speaking you have to carefully pick out the words he is actually tring to say.

stovelid

I have to admit that I swear a lot.

No. But that would be funnier!!

Wazdakka

I curse like a dock hand.
I try my best to keep an eye on it when I'm in work all right, but sometimes I don't even notice

I think I just end up using the words for emphasis.
I don't even really see them as curse words, they are just part of the vocabulary that I try not to use in the office..

Curse words are just so great, It's hard to avoid them.
They give a sentence such feeling..
Putting fúck into a sentience just adds like three exclamation marks.

Cúnt

is another one.. I dont think any other word in english is as expressive as that.
You can say it with such feeling..

Reminds me of the time the mother-in-law was in a restaurant giving out to the mrs. and me about some 'Creepy C*nt' of a neighbour. She had her back to the shocked crowd behind so didn't even know - we let her carry on:D

BUNK1982

Obviously you said it on whim so I wouldn't worry - although you shold reign in the volume.

I do make an effort not to swear and if you did the same you'd be surprised how much you pick up on other people swearing. Some people can't make a sentance without dropping in 5-6 swear words.

Thick as **** the lot of them!

pabear

its even harder not to curse when your getting grief off customers,
FFS like.

depends on the venue. fancy restaurant; coats crystal wine glasses and manners. Now a Dive bar, talk trashy to wimmins, crush beer cans on your head, and drink beer from cans to smash on your head.

I kinda like it when a pretty girl curses like a sailor:o

Down boy. Down.

I'm awful for it. I can keep a check on it if I need to but generally speaking :eek:

WTF???????

Cunning Stunt

I use the odd f-word here and there, but I've been told I curse like it's going out of fashion whenever I am drunk - probably the only vocab I can remember...

still, it never ceases to suprise my drinking buddies over here on the continent - oh to be back in Ireland where no one would give a f*ck...:rolleyes:

3hn2givr7mx1sc

Yeah I curse like a cúnt.
School, work, home, in public or anywhere really.:o

ixoy

My friends try to make me curse. They fail. So when I do swear, it'll have some meaning.

I (almost) never curse. When I do they tend to pretty weak.

what class of a clown is yer one? she never heard a curse before? :rolleyes:

Snowie

i try not to but i do, I'm Irish I'm allowed.

Ann22

I hate the word 'cnut'...that's the only curse word my mother says. I don't think she knows what it means...I squirm inside when when she says it. I suppose I should say 'mam, that's a really bad word':(.

Hank_Jones

I try not to curse, but it's just ingrained into the way I speak now.

Not sure if I'll ever be able to stop cursing.

Need one of those swear jars.

We seem to be in a minority, you and I. Sometimes I swear out loud if my computer doesn't do what I want or if a Beyonce record comes on the radio. Otherwise, if you had a pound for every swear word I say in public you'd still be dirt poor.

HalloweenJack

All the time.

I only watch myself around kids and my grandparents. If anyone else gets offended by my cursing, I find it laughable.

Din Taylor

All the time.

I've no time for uptight people who get offended by it. Usually just tell them to fcuk off.

Wicklowrider

Read a book once, it was supposed to be a true story. A guy collapsed in the story and another guy walks over and kicks the unconcious guy.
When he gets no reaction he says " Fcuk, the fcuking fcuker is fcuked".:D

Mike 1972

Sometimes I swear in German or Polish

Coriolanus

I swear too much by far, and apparently have zero control over the volume of my voice.
Was at my lil bros grad the other week and one of his classmates sang the Schubert Ave Maria so I says to my other brother, "Wtf are they playing the Hitman theme tune for?!". Course, everyone within ten foot heard me, got some frosty looks off the older crowd, but anyone younger was in a fit of giggles.

Rud

i swear all the time.swearing is only words.if people get offended,well then fcuk them

Exactly, if she never heard it how does she know its offensive. If she did hear it whats the big deal.

Whats so really bad about it? fanny is slang for the same thing, is that so bad a word? Perhaps she does know what it means and does not find female/her genitals as disgusting as you seem to.

Run_to_da_hills

Kids cursing and swearing can be quite funny, my niece was hauled up in front of the principal in primary school for repeating the fcuk word in front of the class. They got on to my brother, he acted horrified and said she must have picked it up in school and threatened to remove her.

Red Hand

I've often let off a few bally corkers. The old dears do get a trifle miffed when I go on one of my ruddy barrages, but "that's the modern world for you", as I tell them.

Mike 1972

Cunt wasnt always as considered offensive as it is today. In fact Dublin used to have a "Cuntgrope lane"

Where?! Methinks it's time for a bit of guerrilla sign changing!

Bajingo

I generally say words that sound like cusses when peeved..like blunt, frack, ship..sometimes I surprise my self with the words I come out with..but it's never vulgar..

baltimore sun

I;m as bad as a sailor but I dont care, actually I quite enjoy swearing, naw, **** it, I ****in love it and learning new ones is great too

fulhamfanincork

I blame the education system for making people learn **** poems instead of teaching us how to speak the English language correctly and how to use big words...
