OH finds it "offensive" when I say "Piss"??! what happens when he finds out women can vote too? ��

[gimmecake]

Married to him 10 years so if I say it "all the time" like he says, then he'd be used to it by now right? Ok here's how the convo went .. (So you can get it into context)

Me "that rug in our office has been there stinking the place out with someone elses dog piss - we have our own pets to clean up after without adding to it!"

(He's a carpet cleaner. He has stored a rug for a customer in our office that her dog pissedurinated on and it's been there over a month - uncleaned)

Him "don't swear!! I find it really offensive when you say that! - it's not necessary!!"
Me "I only said "PISS" ??!!

Him "you say it all the time!! It's disgusting!"

I'm 42 years Young with 4 kids -8 guineapigs a dog 2 cats and 2 rabbits I have earned my right to say piss and fuck and twat I think my freedom of speech is being denied!? He's always been the same about me swearing - it's like living in the pissing dark ages!!!

Ps kids were not around listening!

Tell him to fuck off.

Well isn't he a delicate flower

The usual response would be fuck off from me but I will go one better and say you should get a sign in the 'live/love/laugh' mode that instead says 'fuck/shit/wank'

And hang it somewhere ostentatiously

What a precious little flower. My DP glanced up a few nights ago because I referred to someone as a "cunt", but only because I hate that word and save it for Sunday best. He was more surprised than offended because he's Glaswegian and uses that word like punctuation

Shit, OP, I nearly fainted when I read 'p&%*'. Quick, pass the smelling salts. Your poor husband. :(

1. Get a dictionary - make it a heafty one.
2. Open in to P..I..S...S...
3. Point out it's in a dictionary and is therefore a real word to be used.*
4. Throw the book at his head to reinforce the point and aid his memory.**

• Though obviously with discretion bearing in mind other words in there ** Or not. This might be illegal.

Is Piss in the dictionary?!!

God he would really piss me off

you missed a very important point, does he swear?

I actually hate the word "piss". I think because it's onomatopoeic and it really sounds dirty and gross

I swear like a trouper, cunt is one of my very favourite words so not adverse to swearing! But I do hate the word piss.

I swear a lot, I say piss a lot as a swear word but I don't like it or use it when describing going for a wee/pee/widdle/whatever. Sounds coarse in mho

How often does your dh use the word piss?

Whether or not he swears would add a bit of context.

If he doesn't swear (and / or doesn't say 'piss') then he's a bit precious IMO, but he's entitled to to dislike swearing.

If he f's and blinds like a good 'un, but doesn't like you swearing, then he's being a hypocrite and possibly a misogynistic arse

On the other hand if you know a certain word upsets someone you love why would you continue to say it?
Piss isn't swearing but it is crude and unsexy.
If my husband used a word I disliked I'd like to think he respected me enough to use an alternative word if I asked him to.
Why deliberately piss him off if you don't have to?

Ok found this ...

Might start using Slash or Wazz instead??

He DOES swear ... But not like a trouper.. Just when he's pissed off... He's quite clever with his words I guess I have to be more careful

"Darling how much longer do you intend to leave the urine soaked rug in our office for? I just need to know whether to order some more air freshner or not .."

Was he not just deflecting here? Are you sure he actually had a problem with the words in this instance and wasn't just trying to change the topic from how rubbish he was to have a piss-soaked rug in the office for a month?

Buy the delicate little flower some smelling salts and tell him that unfortunately being up on a pedestal means you can't do any juvenile bum-wiping or sandwich-making for the foreseeable future.

Hang on, though, is he the kind of man who says 'trumping' and excuses himself to 'pay a visit to the smallest room'?

Of course he was! ?? however he really doesn't like me saying the word piss. I think I may have used it in this particular conversation to get across exactly how pissed off I was about the piss soaked rug... ??

God. If DH told me not to swear I'd be struck mute within seconds.

He doesn't find farts funny ...

Piss isn't swearing but it is crude and unsexy.

Oh piss, I forgot that the aim in life is to at all times remain sexy.

gimmecake

LTB. I couldn't be with a man who didn't find farts funny!

I think perhaps, given you were referring to something that was actually soaked in / stinking off piss, he could have avoided any unpleasantness himself by not giving you occasion to use the word. i.e. Not leaving a piss soaked rug in your bloody office for a month.

are you sure he is a man, doesn't find farts funny....

I don't like the word but also would have used it in the situation you described. Perfect for conveying exactly how disgusting it is to have a. piss urine soaked rug in your house.
