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!

Interesting. I find the word cunt offensive and I would expect a partner not to use the word in front of me if I asked them not to. But if he hasn't objected in 10 years then he certainly doesn't have the right to object now!

Ahh yes the boyfriends like this. He doesn't mind me being foul mouthed during nookie though. Bastard.

And I really don't get the routinely
farting in front of other people once you're past the age of 18.

If, on the very rare occasion, I am in the car on my own without the kids I like to shout very loudly "fuuuucccckk oooooooffffff" as it's obviously unacceptable to say it in front of the kids. Except if they have really pissed me off.

could you place the rug in the garden until he cleans it. may put some dynamite up his (wouldn't want to upset him)

Everytime you say piss, put your hand up to your mouth in horror and say 'oh fuck I said piss'

I couldn't be with a man who didn't find farts funny, it's practically what DP and I base our relationship on.

Hakluyt

I don't fart in front of anyone at all so it's non-issue for me but I wouldn't expect DP to leave the room just to fart. I'd never get a moment's peace - he'd be in and out all night!

Last week our cat had pissed in several places in our basement and I discovered it was because he had moved his weight bench in front of the litter tray .. I was pretty fucking pissed off with that too and may have used the word "piss" then in his presence .. It's all got too much for him me saying it so soon after...

My ex wouldn't even let me say it was pissing down, apparently that was swearing and I wasn't allowed to swear at all.

I tried not to swear when I was with him (I don't swear that much anyway) but now when I talk to him I swear deliberately

PMSL!!! ????

Context is everything, if husband said 'it's pissing me off' I wouldn't bat an eyelid, but I find 'I'm going for a piss' quite revolting.

'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?'

bolded the one word I find ironic, since you find it crude and unsexy.

Am I the only one who would be pissed off if a carpet cleaner had my rug for a month? Doesn't the customer want it back?

For some reason I really don't like the word piss used to describe well...piss. Piss off doesn't bother me, neither does pissing down.

I feel the same about cock. Calling someone a cock = amusing. Using the word cock to describe a willy = ugh.

Not sure why, swearing doesn't bother me at all. I'm glaswegian so it's a large part of my vocabulary really.

My dh doesn't swear. ever. I do sometimes and I know he doesn't like it but if he said anything he'd be told to Fuck the fuck off.

Many years ago I saw some woman in a documentary asking her young boy if he needed to piss or shit. She was a RP-speaking English lecturer who I guessed was trying to use her everyday life to make some sort of point about language. My working-class father would have disapproved strongly of both words.

My choice of language was deliberate.

I don't swear much, but I would find it offensive for my dh to talk to me that way. Would he talk to a friend that way? If he did dare to talk to his friend about their language it would be done in a much nicer way I should think.

I like the term buggeryfuck...as in "I don't give a buggeryfuck about that!" I don't like piss. Nor "piss off". Funny isn't it? I'm fine with cunt, cock and arse though

Oh, and OP, you can borrow my buggeryfuck if you like. Tell your DH you don't give a BF. You're welcome.

Gimme, I found a nice fridge magnet for you...and it doesn't contain the word "piss" so that should please your DH

make a point to go and ask him to deal with it again in refined and facetious tones
"that rug in our office is befouling the place with someone elses canine micturate- we have our own pets to clean up after without adding to it!"

and see what he says to the new phrasing
its his problem that hes storing the piss rug there - hes on the back foot, its a reasonable thing not to want it in your office/want him to deal with it
and hes trying to wriggle out of that by creating this daft argument that your language is (after 10 years) somehow offensive - so whatever bad feeling between you atm is apparently now due to your unladylike language instead of his piss-poor piss-soaked rug storage solution.

Can I tell you a story about piss?

One day a year or so ago, we were shopping in Tesco. Two or three days before DS2 (who was 3 at the time) had spent the day with my Dad (who is a bit of a potty-mouthed pirate, truth be told). An older lady came up to DS2 and tickled him under the chin and said how beautiful he was. DS2 looked her straight in the eye and said "piss off". How I didn't vomit with shame is anyone's guess. Phoned my Dad and it turns out they'd been watching all manner of shite on tv the day he babysat, including Zulu, a James Bond film and something on the History channel about WWII.

So no, a grown woman using the word piss isn't the end of the world, really.

Maybe, since he works as a carpet cleaner, he jus has a specific hatred of the word? Hears it all the time at work and it grates on his nerves?
