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.

Just re-this the last few pages after I got up, cheered me up no end!

Knob squash

TiggyD · 14/03/2012 09:03

Don't make fun only4tonight. Squash knob is a serious complaint among squash players.

Honeydragon · 14/03/2012 09:06

my dh's bf broke his little toe playing squash, was rather funny

TiggyD · 14/03/2012 09:10

I'm with the OP. I wonder how you ladies think you can keep a husband with such language. Can anybody go a whole evening without slipping in a cock? Can you avoid letting semen pass your lips for one night? I've never heard the word frot before this thread. One person used it and now it's rubbing off on other people.
Terrible.

Honeydragon · 14/03/2012 09:15

I don't keep my dh Tiggy, he keeps me Wink

GrimmaTheNome · 14/03/2012 09:16

I know Tiggy. We should all get back to innocent occupations such as stuffed toy photography. (has everyone seen Tiggy's photos yet?)

Honeydragon · 14/03/2012 09:17

ooh did he get a photo of the bull balls?

threeleftfeet · 14/03/2012 09:21

YABtotallyfuckingU

One of my favourite things about mumsnet is that we can swear without being moderated.

TiggyD · 14/03/2012 09:23

The testicles are on display on my profile page. (From other thread).

Honeydragon · 14/03/2012 09:42

Tiggy, that a fine pair of fluffy testicles you have there.

Steffi90 · 18/03/2012 23:28

I don't like the word but I guess can't stop others from saying it. But if someone puts it like f**k or f$$k I don't mind it so much least they have made the effort to conceal it. It's the c word I hate. It's vile and vulgar and it's never necessary IMO.

Napdamnyou · 19/03/2012 00:41

It's a fucking fuckfest of fuckery. Fucking brilliant.

NunOnTheRun · 19/03/2012 02:21

OP, YANBU to protest about all that dreadful sweary stuff.

However, I am gutted (on behalf of his Satanic Majesty) to have been pipped at the post to be the 666th person to reply to this thread.

Raspberrypi has posted exactly the same thread on Bad Science - and got a remarkably similar response to here.

GrimmaTheNome · 23/03/2012 21:39

Bet no-one there mentioned worming their cuntlines though.

EmpressOfTheSevenOceans · 25/03/2012 02:34

Maybe worming cuntlines is good science.

Cheddars · 25/03/2012 02:40

You know how you read the title of a thread and then go to the last post?

Worming cuntlines?! Worming cuntlines!!!

EmpressOfTheSevenOceans · 25/03/2012 03:13

Worming cuntlines!!!!

Only on Mumsnet (not that I'm brave enough to google it)

Channeling an old YouTube hit and I copied and pasted the lyrics, so any spelling errors are not fucking well mine

George Carlin - The History And Many Uses Of The Word Fuck

Perhaps one of the most interesting words
in the English language today, is the word FUCK.
Out of all of the English words which begin with the letter F, FUCK is the only word referred to as the "F" word, it's the one magical word.
FUCK as most words in the english language,
is derived from German,
the word "fricken[?]", which means to strike.
In English, FUCK falls into many grammatical categories.

As a transitive verb, for instance.
John FUCK-ed Shirley.
As an intransitive verb, Shirley FUCKS.
It's meaning's not always sexual;
it can be used as an adjective, such as
John's doing all the FUCK-ing work.
As part of an adverb,
Shirley talks too FUCK-ing much.
As an adverb enhancing an adjective,
Shirley is FUCK-ing beautiful.
As a noun, I don't give a FUCK.
As part of a word abso-FUCKING-lutely,
or in-FUCKING-credible.
And, as almost every word in the sentence,
FUCK the FUCK-ing FUCK-ers.

As you must realize,
there aren't too many words
with the versatility of FUCK.
As in these examples describing situations
such as fraud,
I got FUCK-ed at the used car lot.
Dismay, Aw FUCK it.
Trouble, I guess I'm really FUCK-ed now.
Agression, Don't FUCK with me buddy.
Difficulty, I don't understand this FUCK-ing question.
Inquiry, Who the FUCK was that?
Dissatisfaction, I don't like what the FUCK is going on here.
Incompetence, He's a FUCK-off.
Dismissal, Why don't you go outside and play hide-and-go-FUCK yourself?

I'm sure you can think of many more examples.
With all these multi purpose applications,
how can anyone be offended when you use the word?
We say, use this unique, flexible word more often in your daily speech.
It will identify the quality of your character immediately.
Say it loudly, and proudly!
FUCK you!

Raspberry what you are basically saying then is that "common people" swear, and intelligent, educated people don't!! What a total crock of shite! I am a veterinary surgeon and consider myself reasonably well educated and articulate. However I like nothing more than a good old swear! Fuck , shit bollocks , arseholes!!! Happy Sunday to you!!
