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.

Schlongpigeon! I am going to invent daily uses for this. Style, technique, and creative interpretation of the genre.

has anyone said "wankbadger yet"? Really wish I had the time to read all 22 pages of this!

MakeHayAndSneeze · 13/03/2012 16:22

Anyone said fuckforks yet? Has a pleasing alliterative quality, I find.

garlicbutter · 13/03/2012 16:29

Yep, this one's funnier.

minesawhitewine · 13/03/2012 16:30

TooMuchFuckingPerspective · 13/03/2012 16:35

This thread is genius. Thanks all. 5 year old keeps asking why I'm laughing and I said some lady doesnt like the word fuck on the
Internet. OP made me swear at a 5 year old girl.

OP. If you're still around then read, or at least skim, these threads as a sample of MN at its best. And then you might worry a bit less about our use of the F word.

Has the OP come back to this fuckfest yet?

EmpressOfTheSevenOceans · 13/03/2012 17:07

I think she's either too traumatised or has achieved her aim.

CappyHunt · 13/03/2012 17:08

Minesawhitewine - I am most impressed you've moved onto cunt in less than a day. Top marks to you, you will go far..Grin

Thank you CappyHunt; it's not that I don't swear, more that I don't tend to write it down or do it on here!

As far as being "ladies" goes, MIL has always been more fruity in her language than late FIL ever was!!!Grin

I still like Wankspanner....

Wtaf garlicbutter I didn't understand a word of what that op was talking about. Chicks without docks? Again Wtaf

BrianCoxHasScaryHair · 13/03/2012 17:16

Just wondering, with the influx of weirdness being high (what with it being a Tuesday and all).

Any coincidence with the posts yesterday that were slating a certain tv presenter who may have/may not have researchers pouring over our every word???

only4tonight · 13/03/2012 17:20

Yes I think we have been invaded. Although I am not sure this thread is quite how they intended it to go....

only4tonight · 13/03/2012 17:25

If it is the researches who must not be named. I think the thing they fail to realise is that there are thousands of mners. Some are arseholes, others are practically saints. Most of us are somewhere inbetween.

Generalising us is never going to work.
