Cursing

[Redhorse]

Plumbing will make anybody curse like a pissed-off sailor.

Well said

I didn't much during High school, but when I got to basic the potty mouth in me came out. I also didn't drink until I got to my EOD unit...but having a beer fridge at work didn't help that matter. After that my profanity has become worse. I'm a good boy around the wife and family but with the buds it's free game.

Concur. My wife once talked me into redoing a perfectly functional bathroom because...I don't know why. Everything worked fine, I think you have to have ovaries to understand why one toilet looks nicer than another. Vanity went fine, but the toilet was butting up against the wall in the back before it was going on the seal. That quarter inch is probably the most profane thing in my house due to the amount of expletives I piled into it.

Our old house was black iron plumbing. That, my friends, is a true vocabulary builder to work on.

I curse while at work only on occasion. While cursing at the general public is typically unprofessional, there are people in my area that I cannot use "sir, ma'am" with. I MUST know my audience. Rather than go "hands on", a brief barrage of profanity gets the point across and I gain compliance.

Whoa....that is a curse (pun intended).

On occasion, depends on the circumstance, never to rarely at home. I'm a bad poker player as my eyes are easy to read, that usually says enough.

Online - Often enough in message boards.
Not so much on Twitter, unless there's something particularly enraging going on politically.
At home - Around wife, no. I hate that, and on the rare occasion that she curses, I hate that too. Shows a real lack of maturity and respect in a conversation.
At home - Around friend, sure.

I used to swear more often. Then I realized its a sad substitute for self-expression, among other good reasons not to. Now I very rarely do. I slip from time to time, mostly when I'm po'd about something.

My best friend and I send the unedited version of this back and forth all the time...
It cracks me up EVERY single time.

Never fails.

What with all the other "pie charts" on facebook or whatnot...
this one is the only one I really found funny.

I break out in Hives at the mere thought of antiquated Black Iron plumbing.

It is a no win scenario. Again....you will make up new curse words.

**** you all ******* ****** in your ****** **** donkey **** **** with his ******!!

[red_zr24x4]

****! Can't believe this thread is still going. I thought this son of a ***** would have ****** died by now.

 

[JetGirl]

And the horse you rode in on !

I like CiB's quote...

"**** you! I have no problem with the horse you rode in on!"

 

[IndyDave1776]

I don't see this as hypocrisy. It's an exercise of free speech. Many have stated they curse around certain groups and not others, for various reasons. That seems more like hypocrisy than a comparison of what's on a television show.

Ah, but it is NOT free speech. It is speech within the parameters declared acceptable by the FCC, which appears to have some strange ideas of what is acceptable particularly when compared with what is not acceptable. Of course this is a predictable result of allowing the feds to tamper with things it should leave alone, particularly in the absence of any constitutional authority to act (the aberrant Wickard v. Filburn ruling notwithstanding).

There was a time when I didn't use foul language at all. I thoght it showed a lack of maturity and language skills. Then I decided, ah, **** it.

It's either "**** off and die" or a really bad word in some obscure language that he picked up while in the Navy or whatever.
