To ask other mums on MN not to use the F word?

I am a newbie. I find that F word is peppered in a lot of the threads. I used to swear a lot but I have stopped completely because I realize it's common, and makes a woman sound undignified. Is it too much, ladies, to ask you not to use F-ing thsi and F-ing that? Can't we adults discuss things without resorting to sailor language? Thank you.

You'll get it all soon enough minesawhitewine. Start building your spreadsheet. First two columns should always read 'cunts' and 'not cunts', followed by 'should be on nethuns' - it's good to be thorough and cross reference all posters Grin

Can't be arsed to read the whole 18 fucking pages, but is the OP Matthew Wright, perchance? Grin

I fucking love mum's net!!

How about wankwhisk? Or Fuck pheasant?

minesawhitewine · 13/03/2012 14:21

Oh god it's all so complicated. Do I need to go and introduce myself somewhere btw or is that only done on the nethuns place or whatever it's called?

only4tonight · 13/03/2012 14:21

Well at least I know my current guise won't fin in the "should be on nethuns" column.

LindenAvery · 13/03/2012 14:21

Mumsnet - fucking autocorrect!

Raspberrypi might be geeky or might just mean op reads the Metro, they had a recent article on them. It's a bit twuntish to come onto a well established forum and immediately start criticising, either way. Congratulations on losing your fucking cherry, minesa (and I'm a book editor with a BA Hons in English, whose phone return key isn't working).

only4tonight · 13/03/2012 14:23

Don't start a thread to introduce yourself. I have seen many make that mistake only never to be seen again.

TheRhubarb · 13/03/2012 14:23

I am Mary Whitehouse and I am reporting every single post. Do you realise that it's not even past the watershed yet? There may be children around to see that kind of filth being bandied about the internet by those who call themselves parents!

Oh I think I've come over all funny!

tantrumsandballoons · 13/03/2012 14:23

I'm actually trying so hard not to laugh out loud at this thread as I'm at work but it is too funny
Will now spend the rest of the afternoon making up new swear words courtesy of mn
Who would have thought such a miserable op could make me laugh all day

CappyHunt · 13/03/2012 14:24

Definitely NOT, minesawhitewine! Just launch anywhere you fancy. The Drunk Thread on a Friday night (in Chat) is a good place to start as you can talk utter bollocks and still make complete sense Grin.

Actually, starting on this thread is as good a place as any!

only4tonight - yeah, you have cleared that for sure!

tantrumsandballoons · 13/03/2012 14:25

......and I'm hoping I'm not on cappyhunts list?!?! GrinGrin

CappyHunt · 13/03/2012 14:26

Have a cup of tea, you'll be ok in a minute.

only4tonight · 13/03/2012 14:27

Oh good. Now just need to figure out cunt or not cunt?

SaraSidle · 13/03/2012 14:27

Has raspberrypi de regged?

I did a search and it comes up with no posts.... But her post on this thread is still up there^...

CappyHunt · 13/03/2012 14:27

I definitely do NOT have a list, I promise. I'm too busy typing bollocks on here to devote time to that.

tantrumsandballoons · 13/03/2012 14:28

I WANT to be on the non cunt list Wink

CuttedUpPear · 13/03/2012 14:28

Dawndonna the whole point is to get the Op to swear and be foulmouthed liberated like the rest of us here

Look at me, I'm Raspberry
Lousy with pedantery
Won't read a fuck
Cos I think it's muck
I can't
I'm Raspberry!

That's ok then, don't want to incur the wrath of somebody like the OP for misjudging the etiquette!

Fuck has been officially allowed since the delectable Hugh Grant said it a lot in Four Weddings and a Funeral.

True Fact.
