You don't.

NoSquirrels · 26/10/2023 06:10

Is this a joke? What’s the punchline?

MyGooseisTotallyLoose · 26/10/2023 06:12

The Gordon Ramsey TV prog?

icantchangetime · 26/10/2023 06:23

Fuck knows

Royalsingingseal · 26/10/2023 06:30

Ferrets?

TheChippendenSpook · 26/10/2023 06:39

What's that got to do with work?

ChocolateCakeOverspill · 26/10/2023 06:41

What?

WandaWonder · 26/10/2023 06:45

Fake?

SofiYol · 26/10/2023 06:46

Fuck knows.

RecycleMePlease · 26/10/2023 06:57

You don't?

We don't swear in my house in real life, but, when typing on forums on the internet, you sometimes need the extra emphasis that the occasional colourful word gives I think.

Pushkinini · 26/10/2023 07:16

No fucking idea.

FloweryName · 26/10/2023 07:19

The internet is a big place. Sometimes it would be inappropriate to swear, sometimes it doesn’t matter. What’s your actual problem?

Iwillnotdancewiththedevil · 26/10/2023 07:33

It's mandatory, all part of having your Internet User Licence

Iwillnotdancewiththedevil · 26/10/2023 07:33

Although I believe the C word is just advisory

UtterlyUnimaginativeUsername · 26/10/2023 09:00

It's just a word, what does it matter? Also, what has this got to do with work?

theduchessofspork · 26/10/2023 09:02

It’s only after you graduate

MadeOfAllWork · 26/10/2023 09:03

Not a cunting clue.

vodkaredbullgirl · 26/10/2023 09:03

Not got a fucking clue what you are on about.

RenoDakota · 26/10/2023 09:27

It's performance swearing, OP. And on here often feels forced and self-conscious.

Why is this in work?

Is it okay to use fuck in rl, just not on the internet?

Lougle · 26/10/2023 09:40

I don't. But then I don't use it in RL either. I guess people just type as they speak. Forums have different conventions. This one allows swearing.

Check the T&Cs of your account. To maintain your internet usage and receive the annual Likes Bonus you must type 'fuck' no fewer than five times every calendar month and pay in at least 1500 words.

I probably say fuck more in real life than on the internet actually.

It's a good, solid, versatile word.

Me too. I blame lockdown. That started my fuck habit and I can't break it.
