This is good but very odd !

Ken and Laurie are right. If you're using swear words as part of your everyday vocabulary, what have you got left to say when you stub your toe or hit your thumb with a hammer?


As a teacher I very rarely swear, and when I do it's really mild.


Sat at home on my own I'm quite placid - unless I'm modelling of course, then I sit in a world of dark blue! Mind you, the air is taking on a slight blue tinge as I type this. I'm trying to add a smiley at the end of a sentence and no matter where I put the curser it appears right at the front of the post!


As a lorry driver, I matched my language to my fellow drivers and f*****g swore every f*****g second f*****g word!


PS I still can't get those '*$@^%ing' emoticons to go where I want them! I have to insert them at the front, then cut and paste them where I want.

It is fascinating how things have changed in my life time.


Muck or Mucker was used a lot but not in all circles as it was just a sotftening ? of a similar word. Only women mentioned the word pregnant and then in whisper terms. Crap was a no no. Prat was another. Bottom was ok but bum used rarely and arse was way out of order. No body mentioned penus it was willy. Buggy was useful as bugger was not in. Bastard was a much used word in certain circles. Many parts of the body with now well used were only used in the very worst situation. Cock ouch ! Bloody caused a revolution when it was used on TV, just the one time, never till then to be used in front of a women and then mostly only on building sites or shipyards and then only judiciously.


I used some as a boy but only to whisper to myself.

I put that down to excellent parenting skills Alan, and instilling in her good manners and morals, she obviously feels that she has no need to swear to get her point across in a conversation. I don't swear at home because my daughter is at that age where she copies what others say, but in work iam professional to a point, the moment someone at my window crosses that line verbally with me they deserve what they get in return, I have been told I could almost be Klingon in nature.

I swear at things. I swear at my self when I do something daft, or painful. Lol


Swearing in conversation, (read heated argument) has occurred but I can't say that I swear just for the sake of it.


Anyone that tells you otherwise is talking boll........
