it's skin-crawlingly bad, even worse than "fecking" and "farking"

you sound like Prince Philip. That's bad. Stop it.

I'd have bleddy over manshape any day.

Melty · 18/02/2011 18:00

I love Fecking. We used it all the time on the west coast of Ireland.

Bleddy Farking and Blardy is a bit how I imagine Enid Blyton characters would swear.

SpringHeeledJack · 18/02/2011 18:03

I fucking hate bleddy

it is the only mn-y thing I reeeeeally can't abide

GothAnneGeddes · 18/02/2011 18:05

YANBU. Did not realise it was a Midlands things, as written it it just reads as an 'I am posh even when swearing' affectation, the same with blardy. Hate them both. Swear properly or not at all.

SpringHeeledJack · 18/02/2011 18:05

haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa Bibbity

I just did the same

...mind you I think I saw Hully do it the other day. I was horrified

Sassybeast · 18/02/2011 18:05

Usualsuspect - I also hate the word 'moist' It makes my teeth itch.

SpringHeeledJack · 18/02/2011 18:08

...what I hate about it, I think, is that it's so damn prim

as if bloody is Proper Swearing anyway!

I'm not fucking prim Grin I never use the word bleddy on MN though..not until this thread anyway

I do hate the word gusset though Grin

blondepinhead · 18/02/2011 18:18

Ah, fuck. I wrote 'blardy' today Blush I do it to take the piss out of my horrible posh voice - but there's no way you'd know that.

OracleInaCoracle · 18/02/2011 18:24

im not prim, i just save proper swearing for when i am really angry. i have to say, i dislike picking on words that other posters use. i dislike AF, BD and babydust so dont use them. but others are free to.

HowFuckingRude · 18/02/2011 18:29

What the fuck/feck is babydust?

OracleInaCoracle · 18/02/2011 18:34

its magical glitter that helps women get pregnant. not as messy as sperm Wink but one of my pet hates.

HowFuckingRude · 18/02/2011 18:42

its magical glitter that helps women get pregnant

Oh dear.

OracleInaCoracle · 18/02/2011 18:47

i know a "friend" put some in a sympathy card when i had my ep. fucking glitter. as if that would get me up the duff.

joydivisionovengloves · 18/02/2011 18:48

YANBU. Bleddy is extremely twattish.

ViolaTricolor · 18/02/2011 18:51

Lissielou I think glitter is much messier than sperm; at least stray specks of sperm don't cling to your face and distract people, or glimmer at you in the carpet. Shock at putting it in a sympathy card (glitter, not sperm).

OracleInaCoracle · 18/02/2011 18:56

but at least sperm has a use Grin i was not pleased though.

PaperView · 19/02/2011 11:38

I despise all that baby dust shite on here.

melikalikimaka · 19/02/2011 12:29

YANBU, why can't they say 'bloody'? It sounds like a posh version.

They could always say the 'lovely' words I've seen on here which are surprisingly and frequently used like 'fucking'!Shock

YABU.
Live and let live - if people want to type prissy alternatives, let 'em get on with it! if they have prim and proper work servers that block sweary words, then they haven't much choice anyway.

I agree with whoever said they hate "ass" instead of "arse" though - ass is a completely different sound, word, meaning - it's just Wrong.

(and I hate the word "moist" as well - we had a Biology teacher at school who used to really wrap her gums around the word and draw it out, it was disgusting!)

I love using Feck and Arse and Shite as well as Fuck and Bloody and all manner of swearwords.
My Dad had a great one - blood'n'sludge - I love that.

So long as it's recognisable as some form of a swear word, I don't care what people use.

(although you can stick your "babydust" euphemism where the sun don't shine)
