To be appalled by the bad language used on this forum

[moomoo44]

I know I will probably be shot down as I am a newbie on here but I recently found this site whilst searching for something and found the AIBU threads very interesting. I find it intriguing how different people react to the same situation and it really makes you realise that we are not all the same, and the world is better for it.

What I have found so appalling though is the frequent use of swearing throughout these posts. I have been truly shocked by this as it is a forum used mainly by parents. Is this the example to set children?

There is something about swearing in writing which makes it so much worse than in conversation, although that is not nice either. It seems so much more deliberate in writing.

When did it become acceptable to use such language unnecessarily and excessively just for effect?

Well not, you is all, but OP maybe.

Dear god 5inthebed, you should preview your message first!

Ahem, I do not know what an arse tastes like, and never will.

'tis perfectly apt for OP

Oooh because were 'mummies' we have to speak nicely all the time. My children have never, and will never hear me swear, mumsnet is where we come to relax.

Do fuck off dear.

FYI, unseasoned arsehole tastes alot better than unseasoned cous cous.

Yuck Spider, have you licked someones arsehole.

gobshite is a goodie.i use that

Only someone I liked .

Unseasoned grains are more of an affront TBH.

I shall take your word for that Spiderlegs [wank]

moomoo44 could it be that you are not British? I think the swearing is just a British thing, like fish and chips and bacon buttie. Just try to ignore it.

Gobshite is good, very good, it should be more widely used, I know many gobshites & if they were told more frequently that they were maybe they wouldn't be such gobshites

I use gobshite, and I live so far South (england) if I went either further I'd drown.

*even further.

The cat is sat on my shoulder licking herself and purring furiously.

I can conclude from this that arsehole testes quite naice, actually.

Yep. Tis proper going at it here in Stoke on Trent.

Arse piles!

I do have a sense of humour! Not many places to display it on here though most of the time.

This thread has made me laugh lotsly!

Me likes to laugh, the only other time I get a laugh is when I see myself nakid with my piss flaps swinging round me knee caps and fighting with me nipples!
