My mum hated course language for the first half of my life. Any time someone used a four-letter word, even on the telly, you'd heard an involuntary tut from over in the corner. If it became an extended series of expletives (like when watching a Billy Connolly performance, for example), the room would eventually receive a lecture on "unnecessary language". She's elderly now, and we'll quite happily sit together and call everybody all the c***s under the sun. No idea when the change occurred, but it was nothing to do with me being a child, as it continued into my early twenties, at least. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Steele Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 Did the strong winds with torrential rain causing flooding, stranding motorists and isolating communities that we've seen over the past few days get a Storm Name? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My maw and all of her 4 sisters were devout adherents of the "buckin'" school of expletives. I remember as a child asking what this was all about and if it was a 'bad word'. I was told it wasn't. However, the first time she heard me using 'buckin' in the house, I got leathered. When I complained in the strongest possible terms at the unfairness of this situation, her response was "Aye, but you're jist a buckin' bairn...."

I'm not sure if "bucking" is better or worse than "freaking", which I even heard used in a bucking commercial the other day Clearly "feck" is still the acceptable replacement for the bad f-word. You know the one. Worse than feck, Father. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlipperyP Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 My Mum was a trooper as the say, every second word was fuckin', she took this from her father (my grandfather) who was an old miner long retired when I was around. My lasting memories of the old guy, was he had a wee scottie dug. Name was 'b*****d face'. When my dad swore, which was like a blue moon. We all knew something was not good. I swear all the time, nae c**t knows what I'm saying tho. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I swear all the time, nae c**t knows what I'm saying tho. I had a great-uncle who I was very fond of when I was wee - he was like an irascible auld Santa figure to me. Never heard him use a naughty word. Didn't see him for a few years, until I came to visit on my own in my teens, and as soon as he saw I was beyond a certain age, everyone and everything was a c**t. Seriously staggering levels of harsh language that would make Popeye blush. Mind-blowing stuff for me at the time. I miss the auld c**t. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nickelodeon maintained that the singer had in fact said "feck off", which they described as "a phrase made popular by the Channel 4 sitcom Father Ted", but the phrase was still found to be in breach of the ITC Programme Code and the complaint was thus upheld. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
