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.

I have lovely fucking manners I'll have you know. I say please and thankyou all the time...along with fuck

But can I still say cunt?

raspberrypi - I don't particularly like the gratuitous swearing here, either. I'm sorry (but not surprised) that you have had such a rude response to your request.

What about Cunt?

See, 'ladies', you know those 'why do childless posters come here' threads that pop up with similarly depressing regularity? And you always wanted to know why you needed us here?

This is why.

We can be your little swear-proxies so you 'mums' can stay couth.

Can we still say cunt?

Thank you for your kind reply, Bradbourne. I am glad there is a sensible person here. The forum sounds like it's full of uneducated people who have little faculty of their language.

Fanfuckingtastic X posts there.

The Cunt ones, a few posts up :o

Raspberry

This really isn't the site for you. I have discovered words a lots worse than the F word on here and Googled them.

I needed brain bleach I tell ya!

@ Al0uise

I thought this was another anti-Feminist woffle.
But newbie, perhaps this isn't the site for you and your quest for a home should continue.
www.lady.co.uk/ They have forums and stuff.

Assumes this is a fucking windup

Thing is though bradbourne, it's completely fine that you don't like it. I can almost understand that although I disagree completely. But surely you agree that to post "I don't like what you type so don't use it any more" as a newcomer to the site is both rude and presumptuous?

I think op should nc to Hyacinth Bucket Bouquet.

redrubyshoes, haha, I know, shocking really that these people are parents. Just sayin'.

Not everybody here is a Mum.

Not everybody here is female.

Why are you so prejudiced? Would you tell black people or gay people the can't swear because it's not black-like or homosexual-like?

tantrumsandballoons, I'm not banning, but I am asking MOTHERS to think over about the language they are using. That's all.

A life on the ocean wave

shiver me timbers

Splice the mainbrace

What shall we do with the drunken sailor?

^^ Sailor language

I've always fancied posting on The Lady. Might I be able to find the optimum way to baste a swan?

This thread has got it all - I do love a good socky!

And let the record show that cuntiness is a completely fabulous word!

Also op you need to get on Google and look up "Dragon Butter" because you won't fit in until you know about it.

Can anyone else help me out with things that Hyacinth needs to Google?

PurplePidjin, Oh sorry I just assumed MUMsNet means most people here are female and mothers like I am. Apology if I don't include fathers, blacks, gays, etc :)

Yeah! This fucking site is proof absolute of what has gone so fucking wrong with fucking kids today. No fucking wonder this fucking country has gone to the fucking dogs. fuckers
