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

[raspberrypi]

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.

Not a mum either. Cuntyfuvkbollocks to all.

I can't be arsed to read all 600 posts, but I just wanted to say thankyou, OP, for making me laugh and keeping me from finishing off my crappy day by opening the window and yelling 'Fuck you all you fucking cocknuggeting cunts!!' at the world.

I'll give up FUCK I spose, can I use FOCK instead though?

Don't even start on cunt, I'm keeping that, couldnt get through the day without a good old cunty-bollox thrown in.

'Can't we adults discuss things without resorting to sailor language?'

Yes, we can (and frequently do) but on MN we don't have to. Except me, I can't type a proper swearword. Not in English, I can sometimes make my fingers squeeze out a foreign expletive. I can do sailor language 'well shiver me timbers you tame galoot, most of this scurvy crew is three sheets to the wind by now....'.

I can type 'shag' but only ornithologically.

mainsheet, fuck, halyard, fuck, fender, fuck, spinnaker, fuck, jib, fuck, bilge, fuck, sprit, fuck, binnacle, fuck, boom vang, fuck, capstan, fuck, cleat, fuck, galley, fuck, cockpit, fuck, gollywobbler, fuck, gunwale, fuck, head knocker, fuck,

Too much sailing language yet? I bet that Ben Ainslie needs his mouth washing out with soap and water.

And if I remember Swallows and Amazons had a Titty (is that on the mumsnet names list?)

Fabulous! You do know how most babies are made don't you OP?

fucking

Cool -- I think you missed out Pintle and Sheave (which sound rude enough without the fuck)

cool - its only when typing that I'm inhibited. Wondering if you've ever heard me sailing (or worse, rigging) a boat? Or dropping an Optimist on my big toe.

boom

argh, oldsilver am going to really struggle not to call someone a fuckweasel at work tomorrow!

pinkyredrose, what was your colleague's offence?

MNHQ talk guidelines ( quoted upthread by Olivia): "We'd appreciate it if you'd use the same courtesy when posting messages on Talk as you would use when speaking to someone face-to-face". What would be the fun in that?!

95% of Mumsnetters give the other 5% a bad name.

sorry, hit post too soon... think cool missed 'boom'. Surely the commonest cause of bad language in small boats?

I read the first two pages and then the last three - haven't laughed so much for weeks, until I read a thread that 'EmpressOfTheSevenOceans' recomended to the OP and then I cried. It was the one with the Mum in hospital after trying to kill herself and the other Mum trying to get baby milk at night.
I have been lurking here for a few weeks and so impressed by the help and advice that is given to complete strangers.
I wish MN was around 35 years ago and maybe I wouldn't have spent 30 years of my life married to a complete fucking knobhead.

Bighairyflowers I couldn't agree more. I have tears rolling down my face. Haven't laughed like this since me & DH bought the Viz Roger's Profanisaurus for our christmas present to selves.

Jog on, OP.

This thread is brilliant, gave me lots of larfs.

Here's a tounge-twister for you all: ShittyBitchyTittyFuck

Try saying that fast five times!!

I invented that I did, years ago

On the Ford and Fruit-shoot theme:
Feminism

Formula

Oh yay, according to MNHQ I therefore can swear on MN without fear of repercussion

I swear in RL to other adults, in conversation, when it is called for. I do not swear at people, unless they have riled me to the point of no return (and that's happened maybe 3 times in my entire life!)

I probably swear as much on here as I do in person. Although, sometimes I do it because it's funny and it amuses me. I wouldn't say to another MNer "Fuck off" or the like, in response to a post I didn't agree with.

I am, therefore, an angel.

Great big pile of steaming wank.

Aaaahhh. Feels better now after a day of restraint due to toddler.

Cheers OP.

If you haven't already OP, name change and start again. And drop the ego. This is not a forum of a few hundred 'ladies', it is a site of THOUSANDS. You are merely one leaf in a forest.

Leech, fuck, luff, fuck, Mizzen, fuck, planking, fuck, rocker, screw, fuck, sea cock, fuck, skeg, fuck,

A frigate was always my favorite type of boat..Not quite as good to shout as wankbadgering cuntspatula, but close.

Dozer he was being an immature twat, in fairness he did actually invite me to insult him. So I did.

Ah - I've found a good F-word in a glossary of nautical terms. Futtocks.

And a C word (I am not making this up. I wouldn't be able to type it if I was):
Cuntline: The "valley" between the strands of a rope or cable. Before serving a section of laid rope e.g. to protect it from chafing, it may be "wormed" by laying yarns in the cuntlines, giving that section an even cylindrical shape.

Who'd have thought you could worm your cuntlines?
