Do we swear too much?

Dwellingdweller

I think we do. We swear so casually that we defeat the purpose of it in the first place...at the slightest provocation irish people start effin' and blindin'. Bit silly imo. What do ye think?

Yes iv an awful foul mouth. Just the other day i was in the shop, just got off the phone with my friend and said to the cashier 'Just these, and can i get a fuckin lottery ticket too'. Boy was my face red

Just let it escalate man. Damn was the **** of it's time, and when nobody bats an eyelid at ****, someone will have come up with a new word to be taboo. And we can all have fun saying that til it becomes ok, and the cycle continues.

JBnaglfar

Fucking way too much swearing imo.

F*cken A!

Even if it is too much, I like it. :P I was a hell of a potty mouth back in Canada, but was actually considered pretty reserved when I lived in Ireland! Everyone and their mother (literally in a lot of cases) said fuck or cunt on a regular basis. It was heaven!

Live in North America awhile and you'll understand how often it really is in Ireland - it doesn't seem as bad when you're used to it because you stop noticing, but really, ye lot're filthy :pac:

Then again, it could just be Mullingar..

We are rather a foul mouthed lot, compared to some of our north american associates.

Can't speak about the latin American ones as I no habla the whatsit.

Love it, nice darts sir!
Remember once saying someone was a 'cnut' in a meeting in work (client who wasn't at the meeting), that was slightly embarrassing til someone agreed with me!!!!

The Irish have a built in swear system like nobody else and part of the vocabulary , something you notice more when you return home but with some individuals more then others

Poor Craythur

No, we don't ****ing swear too much, what kind of a ****ing stupid question is that to ask, you ****ing **** of an OP? I will **** you up.

:P

Abso-fucking-loutely.

Swearing is considered way more acceptable in Ireland than even in the UK. I remember reading on Digital Spy when 2FM first appeared on Sky, some of the forum members across the pond couldn't believe that Gerry Ryan was able to say what he did at that time of the morning.

I know a couple of people from the US who never swear and I specifically try not to when talking to them as I don't think they'd take it well.

I like how there's apparently some unspoken rule dictating a time that people should officially begin swearing :pac:

I mean, it's not exactly like having a shot of vodka at 7 am, is it?

Well it was more like, how could he swear at 10am without having the BCC up his ass?

I love swearing, there’s no better way to get a point across than to add f**k, wa*ker, bollox. Unfortunately I don’t get to do it that much, people I work with consider “sugar, fudge, frick” to be dirty works, fooking nobjockeys.

Yeah there's nothing wrong with in fact it is kinda endearing, but sometimes I love one of them to come out with a "motherfooker" "wa*kface"

I have a confession to make, the 'c' word is in nearly every sentence i utter, I apologise in advance for bringing shame on my life, my family, my friends and the good people of boards throughout my life!!!!

We're probably the only English-Speaking country capable of starting sentences with

"Fecking/Fucking..."

starlit

I unintentionally swear, I often don't mean it really. Often do it as part of conversation or to have a joke with someone. Something bad or something that curses me I would say it or something that annoyed me maybe even at my happiest I could so!

I didn't notice just how much I swore until my German girlfriend started swearing like a trooper in front of my parents thinking that it was completely normal after having picked it up from me!

ScumLord

The amount of swearing is cuntish altogether.

You've presumably never watched The Thick of it.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JjAyazqtQj8

Probably the only sitcom to employ a 'swearing consultant'. I think there's something almost poetic about this line:

"You breathe a word of this... to anyone, you mincing fucking cunt, and I will tear your fucking skin off... I will wear it to your mother's birthday party and I will rub your nuts up and down her leg whilst whistling Bohemian fucking Rhapsody. Alright?"

I think the Irish do swear a lot but I've never lived for a protracted amount of time in any other country to know whether or not it's more excessive than other places.
We do say the word fuck a lot. But people from New Zealand seem to say bollox a lot, so maybe different swear words have more or less impact in different places.

Is 'ride me sideways' a curse?

I swear a lot. I've tried to stop, but it's impossible.

The Scottish and non-posh English give it a good go, tbf.

LimeFruitGum

**** yeah we do.

I work in an office with a certain amount of stress and swearing is the best release valve we've got.

I do draw the line at the c-word though.

In Canada they use bastard a lot more than we do, it wouldn't be considered as severe as it is here.
