To cringe when middle class women swear

Also, I forgot my username has a swear word.

I maintain shithead is a brilliant term for anyone or anything that is in fact acting like a shithead.

Do you think your thread is intrinsically clever or interesting? I don't. I think it's a bit peculiar.

Why is it only middle class women you have a problem with? Do middle class men swearing piss you off too?

Fuck you and fuck your bourgeois opinions.

I particularly dislike new swear words/insults that people use because they’re trendy. Cockwomble is the are perfect example of this.

But then I also really detest portmanteau words like “chillax”.

However, I also recognise that it’s a personal preference and that I’m not the gatekeeper of language.

Crucially, I also don’t differentiate between men and women, or social class. Language is one of the very few things that is equally available to all.

If you don’t like middle-class women swearing OP then I’d suggest you a) stay off Mumsnet because many of the dreadful women here will actually use whatever language they want…..shocking! and b) don’t want Deadloch. It’s a humorous crime drama that is crammed full of women saying cunt on a regular basis. (Second season dropped yesterday for anyone interested - it’s absolutely brilliant).

And I would be standing right next to you. I swear to the point where I think it outweighs non swearing sometimes. It is an outlet and something I absolutely cannot do at work so home it is. I laugh when I hear good sweary descriptions, cockwomble, thundercunt, wankpuffin, and save them up to use appropriately. I don’t care if you swear or not. Are you kind, happy and generally a good egg. If so crack on. No judgement here.

But how can you tell their middle class from that? That actually sounds like something a lower class person would say

Shit thread

Second thread this week about swearing on here.

Is this the manosphere trying to make 'ladies' of us all?

There’s no ‘at least’ about it: cockwomble is unforgivably, appallingly twee and it is in no way preferable to soften swearing by adding cutesiness into the mix. Thankfully, this one and ‘hilarious’ alternatives like twatbadger seem to be dying off these days.

"Only working and upper class people sound right swearing"

Equal rights for everybody, that's what I say. Why should middle class women be constrained in their use of profanities when everyone else can say what they like?

Oh darn. I quite like cockwomble. What about fucknugget, can I use that? Twatbadger?

Yeah, that one's shit too.

I sort of agree. Its like the same level of cringe you get when you see your teacher wearing jeans on a school trip, or when politicians try to talk about football..

I also can't bear the term fanny gallops. Cringey as fuck.

Gotta say I think that one's a bit shit.

Is fuck-a-doodle-do acceptable?

Words like ruddy, Cockwomble, twunt etc are stupid words. Either swear or don't swear but if you are going to do it, do it properly and with conviction.

The only people who sound awkward swearing are the people who sort of pantomime whisper it with performative facial expressions (like my mother) because she thinks she's being incredibly naughty and edgy.

Class has nothing to do with it. It's all about confidence.

My very middle class BIL, office job, likes art, bit of an intellectual, flatly denies he is middle class yet has no difficulty saying his brother is the real MC one.
Their background is WC, (immigrant parents), the only difference between them is educational.

In nearly a quarter of a century of living in Britain I thought I'd seen right to the limits of British people's class-obsessed hangups.

Brava, OP. You're broken a new frontier in my knowledge.

Are middle class men allowed to swear?

Badass is hardly swearing.

But I have yet to know anyone who doesn't swear irl

Well I have a tea towel (not sure what that makes me) with Shakespearean insults-here are some when cockwomble just won't do.

Pernicious blood sucker of sleeping men

You Banbury cheese

Mountain of mad flesh

A most pathetical nit

Not much brain as ear wax

Quintessence of dust

Aye thou wast born to be a plague to men

Lewdly inclined foot licker

Canker-blossom

and as you flounce off "I do desire that we may be better strangers"

How does it sound on sm then, where you know nothing about the poster?

😂

You can always tell when someone is middle class and doesn’t swear in real life. “Asshole” is the biggest giveaway, or describing someone or something as “badass”. It’s nauseating.
