The Bit About The Advice
Added at 11:29am and filed under bits
A friend of a friend so distant she rarely qualifies as an acquaintance told me last night to stop swearing1.
I told her to fuck off.
Take a look at your fake boobs, glitter eyeshadow – YOU ARE THIRTY NINE YEARS OLD – and tenuous grasp of wedding vows before you preach to me, you sanctimonious whore.
1 And yes, I know it’s true – I do indeed swear too much. But I’m thirty-one and perfectly aware of the fact, thanks. Don’t lecture me; it’s neither a newsflash nor a revelation.

Fuck is just a word. If she can’t handle it, perhaps she should go back to pre-school.

OH MY LORD! Someone telling you to stop swearing?! Er… does that person know you at all?!
Gah, go jiggle your juice filled boobs else where lady! :-P
Ain’t havin’ it ‘ere, ‘aight? (Doing that accent thing again, mine’s so boring you see!)

You did the right thing, go Vixx!
See, I swear a lot purely because I don’t find swearing offensive, I can be found regularly using “fuck” and its derivatives as a conjunction, verb, noun and/or an adjective. To me, it’s not about the word itself, it’s about its usage/intent.
I can turn round to my MIL and say “Oh fuck off, you old bastard” and she’ll roar laughing because with our family dynamic, things like that can be said with playful affection and be funny. K’s pet name growing up was “Bastard” and it’s now a bit of a running joke. (Although if anyone who didn’t know us witnessed it, they’d probably think we were all awful lol!)
The only thing that gets my back up is when people swear in aggression/ignorance towards small children. When at Colchester Zoo, one gobby, young Mum branded her toddler a “fucking div” because she wasn’t paying attention to one of the exhibits – that one just really made me wince. :S

I also hate it when people remind me that it’s a sign of a limited vocabulary.
The fuck it is.
Hugs to you all!

You’re grown; you can curse as much as you want. Hate those kinds of people.

My boyfriend always tells me to stop cussing if I let an F-bomb drop on a Sunday. Which is hilarious to me because the other 6 days of the week, he cusses like the sailor that he is!

I don’t understand it; like Jem says, it’s just words!

Bewbs. You said bewbs. Haw haw haw.
I’d rather here the word ‘fuck’ than ‘do you get me?’ which is said after each sentence stupid Girl 1 makes at work.

Hmmph. I too, detest people who assume that swearing is a sign of limited vocabulary – which is why I keep several spare phrases of equally potent insults or exclamations in the most ‘profound’ language possible so I can go right back at them!
Mum was initially irritated with my constant swearing, but she more or less lives with it now, I guess – hardly hear her complaining now!
Plus, ‘fuck’ is everywhere. In the movies, out on the streets. There’s no escaping from it. ;)
Oh, and did you ever get other remarks such as ‘it’s inappropriate for girls to swear’? Gender stereotypes. BAH.

People say I swear too much… I tell them I have tourettes! They say, oh, ok! haha.
Swearing not only distinguishes your passion for the subject about which you speak, it also makes people fearful which is always a good thing… keeps the pecking order in the right place LOL

Oh, and I remember being in a car, on our way to a soul night, where we were talking about a particular record collector whom I called a fucking cunt.. a rear seat passenger advised it intimated that I had a limited education to which my retort was “fuck off you stupid bint” – the whole car, except her, pee’d their pants a bit :o)

Ordinarily, Karen, I’d panic at the prospect of a client finding my personal site . . . but I suspect that we’re going to get on okay! ;)
Yes, I have indeed experienced similar stereotypes, Brenda. You’re right – we need to fight them!

My name is Char, I’m 31 and I swear to much too…
Frankly I don’t see why people even give a damn. I have made a pact with myself to continue swearing until the end of time, it’s my life and I always care less of what people think about it.
