Unnecessary swearing
Now I'm not usually a prude when it comes to profanity but I was on the train the other night and some guy behind me said REALLY LOUDLY for all the carriage to hear:
"Yeah, I was in London today, at the British Museum, there was all this FUCKING Venetian and Egyptian SHIT. Yeah really FUCKING good mate."
I nearly turned round to tell him to watch his mouth but I've already been beaten up once this year.
That kind of behaviour just isn't on right? Regale me with similar tales.
Depends on where it is, fine if you're having MASSIVE BANTS and/or SHABS with your krew.
But I'd be annoyed if it were in a public place, or particularly in front of children. It annoys me when you see mums swearing loudly on the phone in front of their kids.
Yeah it really annoys me
Lack of colour within their brain though. Poor, dull, CUNTS
Fuck Off
People's proclivity to overuse the word 'cunt' in these modern times is disheartening.
I prefer to save that for when I'm ready to unleash some bile, but it's become so common that the impact is probably diminished.
Similarly to what TheSoundofBastards said, I hate when people swear in front of their kids. It's even worse when people swear at or about their kids. When I was in London not too long ago, I heard a mum scream at her child to "move her fuckin' arse" -- the girl was probably about four or five. I also recall a mum telling someone that her daughter was "just being a piece of shit". Grim.
no cunt isn't acceptable at all
try it at a hosue party or something.
Jokingly refer to people as twats, dicks,c cocks etc..then unleash the c-bomb...I'm allowed to say that a clacci Larry David will follow; because it's true
*classic larry david moment
I've never seen anyone get offended after being called a ''cunt''
(...in banter)
It's Anglo Saxon tongue
The ''Mum'' in question was Alec Baldwin
Liam I've missed you, how are you, where have you been?
<3
I'm fine thankyou, creaky. I've been busy in University etc. etc.
Me and the internet have had a ''cooling period''. How are things over the hill? :P
I dislike public swearing infront of those that can't avoid it,
especially if around older people and kids etc.
I think that a lot of it might be down to a hatred of loud, braying voices though, so I dunno.
Swearing is wonderful, if used with expert precision. A curse becomes devalued and robbed of its power and humour if it isn't deployed with the perfect timing and placement.
Oh yeah.
Cunt
:D
^ easily amused
Same as people who bandy the '[something mundane]rape' line around.
A misguided sense that crudeness automatically equals top motch SHABS humour. And/or a massively limited vocabulary with no appreciation for the pleasures of well-crafted overly-elaborate descriptions. Also a lack of imagination. Something like that.
Also,
they're an annoying set of cunty disckslaps.
WAHEY SHABS BANTS etc.
haha lol hun xoxox
My favourite swearwords are twat and wanker
because of the extra emphasis you can put on the W.
Thanks :)
Both of those are wonderfully British as well.
Are you going to use them in your 'corporate communications'?
I almost swore in one of the interviews
I'm sure it would've displayed my passion, as I'm very passionate. With a passion.
110%
I'm more driven than Miss Daisy!
twanker
I have never seen twat as a swear word
I have said it in front of my parents and called my boss one. Apparently this is baaaaaad.
I got told off at work once for calling someone a 'prick'
I said it jokingly during some PROPER BANTS, but apparently it's considered swearing by some.
I think there needs to be some clarification on what is swearing and what isn't.
I know!
I say twat in the same way that I would say 'git'. And my Dad has always said twat. I wouldn't DREAM of saying anything else in front of them, not even a little bloody. So anyway, yeah, twat.
Yeah but "twat"
Is a direct reference to ladybits right? So it's one step less offensive than "cunt", no?
I mean don't get me wrong, I use say twat all the time...but I guess that's why some people see it as offensive. "Git" doesn't refer to sexual organs as far as I'm aware.
Anyway. Yeah. TWWWWWWAT!
Jinx!
I like 'twunt'
a nice compound of twat and cunt which indicates the object of ire as worse that a twat but not nearly important enough to get annoyed enough to say 'cunt'
also, it's an easy non-swear in trying circumstances
I know this now
But it never occurred to me when I was younger.
I'm a bit sad about knowing, it's ruined the use of it.
I can't freely call people twats anymore :(
Apart from you, obvs. Twat.
And your "ladybits", as Darcy so elegantly puts it
:D
There is no word that is acceptable to use for your 'ladybits'. (not yours personally, you understnad)
I will henceforth call my bits
my "understnads".
HA!
This gave me the silent, shakey, eyes watering laughter.
"Twat" is basically just
a less-obscene version of "cunt" though. Bound to be rude.
My mum says "twat" all the time.
Mum, do you know what "twat" means?
"It's a variation on twit, isn't it?"
lol k
i had this EXACT conversation with my mum
she was saying it in front of some kids and i was all like 'uh you can't say twat in front of kids' and she was all like 'why? isn't it just the same as twit?' and i was all 'uh, no.'
then there was an awkward bit where i had to say cunt to my mum.
Your mum hasn't heard the word vagina?
Or even fanny?
There's a lengthy bit in one of Ricky Gervais's XFM shows
...about how he always thought twat and twit were very similar. He realised his mistake, but his parnets continued to say 'twat' all the time thinking it was the same as twit and couldn't bring himself to explain the reality to her.
A niceley dismissive 'pillock' can be satisfying, too.
*nicely. CAN'T SPELL FOR SHIT.
Not a swear word, though
Moron is one of my favourites.
If pillock isn't, moron definitely isn't.
Ya wazzock!
I know it isn't! You plank.
That's alright then, you divot.
Divot?
Divot?!
Now you're just making 5hem up. You Meff.
I too dislike people swearing on public transport
cheers
hate cock-er-nays or mockneys who say Fackhh in every sentence
"Fackhhing 'ell Dave that's fackkksjsjbajdbwudobwou"
Dislike public swearing....infront of innocents/elders etc.
But I LOVE swearing though. It's one of the best forms of pure self expression through language. Nothing quite expresses venom like getting your mouth round the words "Fucking Cunt".
This.
Sometimes only fucking cunt will do.
I get massively pissed off when I'm with my Mum and LADZ swear. I think if someone was being like that around my Nieces I would be a bit 'Hand that rocks the cradle'
.
I worded my post so much more carefully.
"Sometimes only fucking cunt will do"
I AGREE, SOMETIMES THE BUM JUST AIN'T APPEALING! LOL ;-)
Nice.
You breastfeed your own nieces?
Seriously?!
CHRIST ON A TINY LITTLE CHOCOLATE BIKE.
If I was meths or Lucien I'd attempt to draw this using items from the ASCII keyboard
:D
YOU CAN DO IT, THOR!!

O/ O
YES.
And it only took you two hours!! (Y) |b
What did you get beaten up for this year?
I find that more interesting than the topic at hand.
something about children getting sliced by kites
For wearing red cowboy boots on the bus
mine's better
So's your mum
For not wearing red cowboy boots.
:O
Ww've angered the snake! QUICK! Talk about something else!
for almost wearing red cowboy boots
for wearing one red cowboy boot
For wearing red cowboy boots
ON MY HANDS
You're all carwash cunts
I do swear a bit too much sometimes
but then I was brought up by my dad who says "fucking" after every 3 words, no matter what the context.
I try not to swear infront of boys but if they swear too, i'm gonna swear.
I would like to swear in front of the pope
that would be nice
This is why more people should adopt Bamos-swears
where you just call people different nouns at random.
sod off, you complete shoelace
take it to the lipster, you big fishslice
I took me up until THIS WEEK
To work out who you are.
Well done me.
You massive, massive harru
^what a total antihistamine
i don't have a problem with casual swearing
but yeah in public/near kids/old people it isn't really acceptable
R-E-S-P-E-C-T
Find out what it means to oldies
Random people?
Or you?
Makes sense.
I'm not sure
how much the average 65-70 year old would have experienced in WW2.
true
true
My Grandparents didn't.
Thanks.
*shakes head*
What are your roots? Ineloquent spaffer? Tourettes indie? Something fucking else?
Is that so, Corky.
That's your new nickname by the way - "Corky". The fucking Corkster
I think this is where I dislike it most, as a conversation filler. I have a 'mate' who starts every sentence with "fucking", annoys me so much.
I really think it can be avoided, pretty easily, I don't believe it's subconsciously ingrained.
Just, er, use a simple phoneme, um, like the rest of us...You fucking cuntchops.
Of course they'll know what a phoneme is,
they just don't know it as a phoneme.
So only poorly educated (working class!?) do this?...Is that what you're saying!?
I really don't think that's true...besides, I'm not sure it matters whether it carries harmful intentions, a lot of people consider swearing to be rude and disrespectful even if it's not aimed at themselves.
Don't feed the troll...
Pretty sure that people were considerate and didn't swear their tits off all day
before Queen Victoria rocked up.
:D
"class prejudice"
:-) It's been a wee while.
Blatantly not though. Cos it's even worse when posh nobs are fahrking this, fahrking that, and fahrking the other, all over the fackin' shop.
Glad we agree that it's nowt to do with what class you are,
and all about whether you have class.
Don't be soft.
The middle fucking classes aren't fucking devoid of liberal fucking quantities of fucking swearing.
Some fuckers will do this on the fucking misguided fucking basis of it being a fucking class thing.
But any fucker from any fucking class can think it's fairly fucking lame to resort to fucking swearing with every other fucking word.
So it's not the fucking class thing you fucking well implied.
But you already knew that, you fucker.
You're not really entertaining this are you?!
Amazing.
I fucking well got drawn in to the fucker.
And now I'm fucking well fucking off out of the fucker.
Some fuckers will do this?
*Some fuckers will object to others fucking swearing
Please. Put this much effort into something else, ANYTHING else, and you'll be far happier
swearing is not a part of anyone's culture or identity
it's certainly not an integral part of working class culture
I've tried several times to reply to this
but I keep forgetting what the point being discussed is. Either that or I'm starting to agree with you.
One point: part of bringing up a child is teaching it to express itself - habitual swearing makes this very hard.
if swearing was just the way the 'working classes' spoke
it would be dialect, not swearing, and would lose the whole point of swearing ie to be out of the range of ordinary language for emphasis/shock value. You fucking bellend.
This.
(how did the interview go??)
good I think!
just waiting for them to decide between me and someone else now.
woo they chose me!
nice one! :D
I swear like a right cunt at times.
It's got dick all to do with me belonging to a fucking working or being a middle class bastard.
My disdain for wankers that litter every twatting sentence with the same motherfucking expletives is not a shitty offence thing, it's borne entirely out of the fact that it smacks of a lack of pissing imagination. Whether you're a lower, middle or upper class knobhead that's coming out with the lame bullshit is immaterial. A well considered tirade of top notch abuse (both flowery and crude) is much more pleasing, you F star star cunt. ;-)

Berk - Berkshire Hunt - Cunt (Cockneys)
I heard a woman at a bus stop turn to her children and SHOUT
"Kylie, Jason, stop kicking fuck out of that bin. Bus is here."
This was some years ago mind. Public swearing.
I was once on a Saturday evening train from London to Essex, with a load of blokes coming back from an Arsenal game.
They filled most of the coach, and even though they didn't know each other, lots were discussing the game, including one bloke who was swearing like a trooper "Fackin' atmosphere at Emirates ain't like it was at fackin' Highbury" etc etc. Anyway, there was this guy sat next to me with his two sons, about 6 and 8 years old. After a few minutes of flinching everytime this bloke swears, he leans over and said: "Look, lads, if you at the ground, I wouldn't care. But I've got my boys here, and I'd be grateful if you minded your language." They all looked abashed and stopped then. It made me feel all toasty inside.
Hooray!!!
:)
And then when they got home,
they took out their inner frustrations by kicking the shit out of their wives and girlfriends.
'Still feeling toasty now?' / 'Abandon reply' / 'Leaving conference'
there's basically nothing wrong with swearing, ever.
getting offended by it is the most tedious pathetic thing anyone can do.
Nah.
Getting worked up by people getting bored by people who don't mind people indulging in a bit of well placed swearing is worse.
that makes no sense to me at all...there are too many repetitions of words
I've re-read it like five times and all.
I'll get Mr Tourette to make a sign to explain it all.

if there's nothing wrong with it
what's the point of it?

I posted this ONCE, DiS
fukcnauscntt
what's the point of anything
?
late night nihilism
I prefer quite old fashioned insults, which aren't so much swearing, but which are effective putdowns
Like 'cretin'.
(which of course can only be improved by saying 'you fucking cretin'/ 'you cretinous cunt'.)
I was once sat in the Dublin Castle having a pint and reading a book
when these two annoying posh kids sat down at the table next to me. They were too loud and probably too young to be in there, but it didn't annoy me much until one of them started ranting on about something or other, throwing in as much effing and blinding as he could.
After about five minutes of this, I asked him if he was capable of having the same conversation without saying fuck every other word. He realised that he must have sounded like a pillock and he and his mate ended up having a chat with me about music. All's well that ends well.
Liar. That never happened.
Bamnan said posh people don't swear. Except that, ok, they do, but, errr, it's impossible for someone who's, ummm, less posh to, ahhh, think posher person is lame for swearing. Or something.
Everyone in this thread is a bunch of massive cunts.
That's right.
i went out to westfields the other day with my friends
i never realised how prolifically i swore. in hmv i turned and said "this shop is SHIT, can we please leave?" and my friend had disappeared and been replaced with an old lady. then in foyles i loudly trashed the 1001 beers you must try before you die guide as a christmas present with "i could write good beer guide ffs,do you know what would be in it? FUCK ALL." people in the queue looked at me. then in the restaurant he told me i should have voted labour and i ranted at him all the way past the length of a table full of kids about "the fucking iraq war" and "fuck you". it was just endless, i don't know what is wrong with me. :(
i don't actually realise i'm doing it though, unless my self-awareness switch is on, i.e. i'm with my mum.
i'm a good daughter.
In a pub enviroment, I think swearing it fair game
We got told to ''mind our language'' in a pub in Winchester (by a 25 year old)...it seemed absurd.
But this is coming from a person who repeats lines like ''I made her cum like Niagara'' through a loudhailer.
I also told the entire pub that I once got a boner over the sound of someone washing up.
Jeremy, you once told me that chairs make you feel horny.
*brokenchairs
FYI:
'twat' come out as 'teat'
