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.

Love a bit of 'smite'. Hell and eternal damnation to all the non swearers.

I must admit to enjoying a nit of retro Wodehousian slang too. 'It's a bally rum do'.

Salmotrutta · 24/05/2013 23:27

Oh yeah ouvrye.

Oh yeah.

That mother flipping thing is so righteous Hmm

What are they like...

I do find a growled "Arse!" very satisfying.

DS1 has picked up on my saying Bloody when I'm really really really really cross but can't stick to something more neutral without exploding. Sometimes, Fiddly Flowerpetals doesn't work.

I'm a nanny so avoid swearing at work. I say oh pants! On a regular basis. All of my charges have said it too. It's very cute coming from a 3 year old. Oh cunting fudge pants! Would not be.

LineRunner · 24/05/2013 23:29

I say 'Oh lordy' at home and my teenagers reply, 'What the fuck are you saying, mum?'

Oh how we cry laugh.

Salmotrutta · 24/05/2013 23:29

Arse is a good and satisfying word.

I love it.

GibberTheMonkey · 24/05/2013 23:30

Times and places, times and places

Salmotrutta · 24/05/2013 23:31

drinkyourmilk - wouldn't you like to say, just once, "I'm a fanny"?

Rather than "I'm a Nanny"?

No?

I read on here that many teens say, "oh my days" and thought it sounded quite charming. Sadly my DD progressed straight to "fucking hell" Sad

Salmotrutta · 24/05/2013 23:33

And who the fuck is Nora, actually?

OP posts:
GibberTheMonkey · 24/05/2013 23:37

Dunno but she fucking blinks a lot

squoosh · 24/05/2013 23:38

Cursing is vulgar. Why the Jeff would you want to use such unclean words?

Geez, all this f-wording this and c-wording that. Its too fudging much.

Oh my goodness, now you made me say fudging. Vulgar.

Salmotrutta · 24/05/2013 23:42

Or Pete.

Who is Pete in "For Pete's Sake"?

Why would I care about Pete?

I've never met him.

Or Gordon Bennett.

do you know that my auto correct used to correct my name to Labial Catkins? I dread to imagine what Labial Catkins actually are although I did have that varicose vulval thing when pregnant with DS2, so maybe that is of what it spaketh

SPsCliffingAllOverMN · 24/05/2013 23:43

Dont use Pete's name in vain! Dammit

Love "smite". I think we need to trend "smite". I shall begin tomorrow. Salmotrutta, you are a flexible and innovative genius of the vocabulary of exasperation.

usualsuspect · 24/05/2013 23:44

Swearing is very chavvy , SP.

Salmotrutta · 24/05/2013 23:45
