johnnydun Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 I swear constantly. To the point where I sometimes think I swear too much. I swear at home. I swear at work. I swear at the football (obvs). I swear in public. I even think I swear too much when writing posts on here. Is it just I have a difficulty expressing myself with words or is it just because swearing is the norm? Or am I offending people constantly? What are P&B's thoughts on swearing? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deanburn Dave Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 People who swear all the time using the same word irritate me. They need to mix it up a bit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hearthammer Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 Whilst i let the odd "F" out now n again, i hate to the power of "n" the "C" word in any connotation. I accept other people use the "C" word as part of their normal day to day language, and it is very prevalent here on P & B, but i hate it with a passion.

Why does this offend you, when in this country 'c**t' can be used positively such as 'He's a good c**t'. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it's pretty much interchangeable with "person" through a lot of Scotland and has lost a lot of its sting...always have to be careful when speaking to non-Scots though as it retains a bit of shock value to them. Be interesting to find out what the world's sweariest country is though - I suspect we're up there in the rankings. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Empty It Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 I thought I swore too much (I do) but there is a new guy at my work who swears every second word regardless of where he is, talking to a customer, one of the office lassies, in a shop doesn't matter this fucking guy fucking swears fucking every fucking second fucking word. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superwell87 Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 I swear far too often, far too often but not constantly. I am aware of situations when not too though, for example at work or around children etc. Swearing in my opinion is a normal part of life these days. I get that it will annoy/ offend some people though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshbairn Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 Swearing's great if used sparingly, if it's constant it loses its power and becomes meaningless. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillyAnchor Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 American women especially hate the c word yet generally have no problem with the term motherf*cker which to my mind should be more offensive. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been a thing of hate for me for many years as, probably, i only ever heard it used in a negative, insulting way. As for the reference to a lady's hootenanny, it's even more detestable. I accept that i'm more than likely in a minority given the constant use of the "c" word on here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry Ferguson's Hat Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 There is absolutely no situation where you wouldn't be better served using 'bobbins' in place of a swear word. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eindhovendee Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 I swear a lot, I've trained myself to swear in Spanish and Dutch at work so that colleagues don't know just how much of a sweary c**t I am. When I was leaving the Netherlands back in 2011 I had a leaving interview with my boss (in Dutch) who was genuinely sad to see me go, he said that I had left my mark on the organisation. I asked in what way, he said "just listen". The canteen was next door and you could hear them all chatting away in Dutch and saying fucking every second word, I only swore in English at work while speaking Dutch, they had all started to do the same. Some fucking mark to leave. 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
