What do you think about people who swear ? Do you judge them ?

GigiAnnna · 04/09/2023 07:38

I do swear but not around people I don't know well and not in front of my kids. They have heard swear words from other people and probably the odd word slipped by me and not been harmed by it but I just think it's not very nice for them to hear regularly.

StoatofDisarray · 04/09/2023 07:38

Yes, but not in front of the students and I severely limit it in front of non-sweary people and strangers. Otherwise I don't self-regulate at all, and I use all the words except the racist ones.

I sometimes play So What by the Anti-Nowhere League on my headphones after a particularly stressful public day to recover from having to bite my tongue.

Yes I do but I also do judge people who don’t filter it, for instance swearing loudly on public transport when there are children around etc

Yeah that's not nice. I agree, you absolutely need to filter it. Otherwise it's just gross.

I swear a little bit in certain contexts, like has been mentioned. With my DH when no one else is there, freely. Not at work, unless with others that also swear and away from other colleagues ( I find the swearers are my 'realest 'colleagues ) but even then it's not actually excessive.

I swear with one of my sis in laws if the kids aren't there. Again, not excessive. We've known each other for years. My other sis in law ( younger ) won't swear at all and often uses the word ' poo poo ' instead of shit. I don't judge people for swearing at all, but sometimes I do judge for making such a massive effort NOT to say the word shit. Like who do you think you are ?

I don't like the C word and wouldn't use it.

One of my SILs wouldn’t let her toddlers say ‘wee’ and ‘poo’. She insisted on ‘urine’ and ‘excrement’.

In day to day conversation, no but I do sometimes out of frustration. Swearing doesn't bother me, I just think some people do and some people don't.

No. I detest swearing, it always sounds so aggressive.

I think it sounds aggressive it it's loud and every other word, but not if it's occasional.

Not only do I swear, but I swear in five languages.

I’m with @NorthWestThree @PureAmazonian @HorsePlatitudes and @honeyandfizz - it’s a sign of intelligence and a pain management tool, so I fucking do it with joy!

illiterato · 04/09/2023 07:29

Yes but I’m a massive hypocrite as I also judge people who swear every other word or really loudly in public, esp if there are little kids around. I became aware I was doing it more and more so I’ve cut back to critical situations only.

pinkdelight · 04/09/2023 07:29

I love sweating but can edit it out if inappropriate for work/social situation.

Vegetus · 04/09/2023 07:28

All the fucking time.

usernother · 04/09/2023 07:24

Yes, but not in public places and only with other friends who swear. I hate it when people swear in public when I can hear it, I think it's really disrespectful. Also, I never swear in from of my adult children.

Thepeopleversuswork · 04/09/2023 07:24

I'm very sweary with friends in non professional, adult company. I love swearing, it's a brilliant escape valve and stress release. The right swear word can be a great ice breaker, can make you laugh and create solidarity.

I swear very sparingly around my DD and other kids: not because I want them to think its taboo but because I want them to learn that they need to develop sensitivities around it. I do think an occasional swear word at the right moment is fine but I don't want to be one of these parents who does it every time they open their mouth.

When I hear people swearing indiscriminately it tells me that they aren't very bright or sensitive and can't read an environment.

HectorSalamanca · 04/09/2023 07:22

Yes I swear a fair bit. I work in an office with 2 other people who also swear alot, so I swear in work alot more than I do at home.

honeyandfizz · 04/09/2023 07:22

Like a fucking trooper.

iamthattree · 04/09/2023 07:21

Yes but like a pp am a time and place swearer. With dh - awful. Work - only with certain people I know well. In front of teen kids - never until very recently, now the occasional crap and similar light swearing. In front of my mother - never!

Readingineading · 04/09/2023 07:21

Yes, under the right circumstances I swear like a docker.
Never at work or in front of anyone who would find it offensive and I always presume that anyone Id just met would find it offensive.

HorsePlatitudes · 04/09/2023 07:19

I’m sweary as fuck.

Yep..loads. it's just words.

This!

SpiderExtinction · 04/09/2023 07:18

No, I don't swear at all. It goes through me like nails on a chalk board when people swear around me.

Nopenopenopenopenopenope · 04/09/2023 07:18

Depends on the context but yes I do swear and of course I don't judge people for swearing. I judge people who judge people for swearing, though.
