People who swear too much..

A lot depends on the company you're in. When I was in the forces I used to swear A LOT. But I never swear in mixed company and only occasionally in front of my kids when I am angry about something (that I'm not allowed to mention on the GF)

 

They also do not swear in front of me, despite the eldest two being 18 and 21.

 

Swearing is brilliant, it's certainly not a sign of a limited vocabulary, far from it. But throwing 'fuck' into sentences such as "I'm just going to the fuckin shop" would be weird.

I think it also depends on what enviroment you have been bought up in also. I know friends that think its acceptable to swear at their mums but then their parents are f ing and blinding at them also.

 

Also swearing is great when using it to insult someone. For instance calling someone stupid doesnt quite give the recipient the same emphasis of the word as calling someone fucking stupid.

That's what I'm on about.

 

"I'm just gonna fucking erm.... get that fucking thing for Mr Jones."

 

Why?

 

True. A well placed swear word can be both effective and well funny, but it just becomes nothing when it's everywhere.

 

A mate of mine used to occasionally start a sentence with 'Fucking erm...' too.

 

Now that's out of control.

I've got a mate who instead of saying "erm" or "uhm" just says "fuckin?"

 

Like, "the other day i was in fuckiiiin?... manchester! yeah manchester. And this... fuckiiin?... Woman! Yeah this woman, she was just having a piss in one of those fuckiiin?.... phone boxes!

 

Bizarre, but strangely endearing.

Haha, I know a lad that does that as well.

I like a good old swear when you're down the pub with your mates, but I do watch what I say in front of certain people, like elderly relatives and younger cousins and stuff like that.

 

One of my mates has no 'off' button to this though. You can be sitting off in a cafe having something to eat and he'll saying 'fuck' every other word when there's kids with their parents around. Very, very cringeworthy.

I am past the point of no return when it comes to swearing. I think Id be ok if I imagined my mum and my nan standing in the corner of every room I was in. Unless I was in a room with my mum and my nan, in which case I could end up with some crazy weird self replicating imagery that looked like the knock on wood video by amy stewart.
