To smite people who use inoffensive words instead of proper cussing?

I mean really Hmm.

"Oh, sugar"... Just say "Shit" - its so much better.

And "Flips sake" is nowhere near as satisfying as "Fucks sake!".

You'll thank me for it.

Bastards.

Cool. DS is autistic and very rule-bound so we can't even say the the word, "gun" in conversation. We are not allowed to swear but he hasn't realised that, "bollocks" is. When he does, I will substitute, "drat".

11yo DD said "What the firetruck?" the other day, which made me laugh.

I think some people have to use twee words instead of swearing so that swearing doesn't come naturally.

Imagine an Infant school teacher opening a cupboard and something falls on their foot. They automatically shout, "Oh you cunt!!" Grin

'I smite thee with thou feck and twunt,
Whatever's wrong with fuck and cunt?'

Yeah; fuck that.

Besides...a thoughtful and considered peppering of F-bombs demonstrates a true mastery of the English language, IMO.

usualsuspect · 24/05/2013 23:17

I like a blimey TBH.

WandaDoff · 24/05/2013 23:19

Fuck off ya bunch of fannies.

In Glasgow, i'm no(t) even sure we know what cussing is.

Kleptronic · 24/05/2013 23:19

Aw fuck I just said 'what the jeff' on another thread.

Salmotrutta · 24/05/2013 23:20

I would die laughing if an infant teacher said "Oh you cunt" Worra.

I have to stifle my sweaty tendencies in front of pupils all day - so I let rip in the Staffroom, at home etc.

And namby-pamby "sugar" and "flip" make me want to pan folk.

real proper swearing is overused now so the impact is lessened

AgentZigzag · 24/05/2013 23:20

I do as well usual, and I don't use muppet and numpty half as much as I'd like to.

FunnysInLaJardin · 24/05/2013 23:20

Hmm

I say blimey a lot but it's never in place of a swear word

It's just something we say here in London

My mate started saying 'Door locks' instead of Bollocks

I took her outside and gave her a suitable kicking until she saw sense....

Salmotrutta · 24/05/2013 23:22

My Sweaty tendencies????

My sweary tendencies!!

Fucks sake.

I knew someone who said 'Crikey me'

Salmotrutta · 24/05/2013 23:23

She deserved a kicking Worra.

Quite right.

My Kindle likes 'bliley' and ducking for fucking, and 'teat' for twat.

It has issues

ouryve · 24/05/2013 23:24

You should shoot them with a motherflipping gun. OP.

Salmotrutta · 24/05/2013 23:25
