I've noticed in Montreal the f-bomb is often used as a period at the end of a sentence "let's go for a beer, fu*k" (w/ no sign of anger/etc) and so on. I'm accustomed to this and hardly ever notice it. I'm also really smart and shit.
I can't even count the number of times I've had to tell people to watch their language at the park of all places. I'm taking my son to play for a bit and they think its like a bar or something? Its always the older middle school aged kids and occasionally a few stupid parents.
We've disciplined our son for cursing a few times. I don't really cuss that much but when I do its very casually and I really don't give a F*ck if I do. Its not a big deal. I don't even mind my son cussing its just I never want to get judged by other people if He was to drop an EFF bomb in public or something. So i just teach him to never cuss.
my folks told me about a time when I was about 2 and my mom brought dinner to the table and they said I just put my hands on my hips and said "Well, will you look at this shit!" My mom and dad said they had to leave the table as to not have me seeing them laugh their ass off, thus encouraging that language. They said I never cursed again after that until I was 10 or so...
well, when my kid starts picking up words and shit then i guess i will have to cut back on cursing.
I've posted this before but I didn't discipline my kids for cursing....I explained how stupid it made them sound but the only thing my kids were forbidden from saying around me was "That's not fair"......I needed them to know ASAP that life itself is not fair.
i hate the word c**t but it is used a lot round here- sick c**t, mad c**t, shit c**t.... not my cuppa tea at all........altho i did once get so fired up during a fight with my sister that i called her one....i immediately gasped and felt v v unclean!! oh my!!
When you DON'T curse, you just sound more intelligent, classier, and there's an undeniable element of integrity when you speak--especially when you carry an even temper. I slip curses unneccessarily at times, but I aspire to be 'curse free'.
People who swear up and down just sound like teenagers, or uneducated oafs.
An old friend of mine had a high-up job at Oprah's magazine for a little while, basically had her on speed dial. He told me once that he would be shocked on a daily basis by the sound of good ol' Oprah spitting rapid-fire curses as part of her normal lexicon.
I curse like a professional, always have. My sister's kid is getting to the point where she repeats new words that she hears so I really have to be careful what I say around her, and I can sense that when I really get going on a topic of some sort she and her husband are wincing in anticipation of some choice words coming out my mouth. I can keep it clean when I need to, but when I'm around the people that I'm most comfortable with I stay peppering them with blue streaks.
Ha ha while those Strutters who have met me should be able to confirm I'm from the other end of Essex my Friday and Saturday nights out on town are spent in pubs full to the brim with mockneys who seem to have modelled their whole lives on either a) Guy Richie movies, b) Danny Dyer, c) both. Bunch of f*cking c*nts the lot of em.
Tis true. We're basically on the Suffolk border ( so close to Tractor territory) but you'll still find 75% of the lads out at the weekend talking like they've just got back from their barrow duties for the day.
Funnily enough most of them never actually venture into London.
Ths isn't a place I'm familiar with but, safe to say, if it's round the Suffolk/Norfolk area you'll already stand out by not being over 75 years old with a family tree that appears to develop in a circular manner.
Avoid any visible jewellery, keep all modern technology hidden and, whatever you do, don't try and make friendly small talk with the locals.
i like when the brits take over a thread and start talking all britishy.
Which is funny, because if it's not music related I have no idea what they're talking about. They start talking about soccer and towns called -folk and I just get confused like I'm hearing Swedish for the first time.
I envy the great cussers. The ones that can just drop a string of ones you haven't heard in awhile...that's why the average Brits get some more shine than they probably deserve, izzat we don't hear "wanker" or "coont" as often...but damn they got some good ones...
My default discussion mode is on some grown man shit, as you'd expect, but comeon srsly if you don't love calling someone a "cocksucker."
that's my favorite cussword, for all the James Liptons..."cocksucker."

Cocksucker is one of those great insults that you just don't hear enough of anymore. It's like a lost art. Calling someone a cocksucker and not sounding like bad porn dialogue is something not many of us new jacks can do. I think cocksucker really fell out of being cool/used in the early 1980s.
I would say bring it back, but I don't think anyone can pull it off anymore. It requires a cheap suit and a 'stache and I'll be goddamned if you don't have to be a grizzled balding middle-aged white chainsmoker packing a shoulder holster to get the right effect.
Could you picture Kanye bustin out with a 'cocksucker'? Or Lil Wayne? Would come off straight up gay porn style if you ask me.

This is where i find the whole thang to be bullshit.
My parents didnt "teach" me to curse either, but they did curse around the house. So I still picked it up.
I also "learned" the words through movies,music, and in the street.
"Cursing" is Normal...IMO, just learn how and when to use them, w/out overdosing.

2.5 times a year.
And he wastes one of them for 2009 asking why you wouldn't want to curse.
Just an observation.
Carry on.
I noticed that too.

Yeah right. f*cking bumpkins.

It's patently untrue.
btw I'm booked to go to some restaurant called Golders on the Green or somesuch, in some backwater village called Rittall or similar.
What should I wear? Dungarees and benny hat?
Muddy wellies and soil under the fingernails?
PLAESE TO ADVISE
