To ask people to stop swearing so much

[user1497264327]

Frankly, the language of some of the posters on this site is disgusting and I wonder if they talk like this in front of their children. I also wonder if their parents would be proud of how they post on the internet. Swearing every time isn't big and it isn't clever. It makes people come across as uneducated chavs.

AIBU to ask people to clean up their act and stop swearing?

Pannn Nina did point out that people judge and the implication was that she too was judging.
As for quiet introspection, I save that when I'm working out how to have a law changed, or written. How to add disability rights to a manifesto or to a constitution. How best to support my disabled children. How to ensure best practice in the education system with regard to disabilities.
I'm also the granddaughter/great granddaughter of a couple of Lords. Hang around an expensive stables, the language would make your hair curl. However, as others have said, I have never sworn whilst in a meeting, accidentally in a document, or at a parents evening. I manage perfectly well in a society that judges, thank you.

OP does seem to have fucked off. Shame.

Letting rip with the bird fuck or bollocks etc. is very cathartic. I highly recommend it.

All trips nicely off the tongue.

I fucking love threads where the OP and others try to police how the rest of us speak. Bloody hilarious.

Don't know where that twatty bird came from.

Twatty bird came from Twatter, naturally.

I've sworn in oxford tutorials.

"You're all a bunch of fizzing baskets!" Said nobody EVER.

Bunch of fizzing baskets can sound as terrible as clutch of fucking dicks if enough feeling is put into it.

Clearly not a lawyer then. I've experienced lawyers using dreadful language in the workplace

Funny you should think that...

Yes our language was dreadful too but I still managed to judge when it was appropriate and never included "fuck off you wankbanger" in any of my drafting.

Possibly pax, I will try it out on someone and let you know. Maybe someone will park on my driveway or something.

Relax. It's the ones purposely swearing excessively in an anonymous forum that are probably the nicest clean mouthed posh people ever - this is probably their only release.

Aw, dawndonna, ditto!

Pannnnnnnnnnn, what are you judging people as, exactly? I can tell you what I'm judging you as, if that's helpful.

I have a first class honours degree, a PhD, and I've been published in Science and quoted by the Times. I'm educated to fuck.
Different standards of speech are appropriate in different places. Mumsnet is full of adults and swearing is common. You make yourself look ignorant, OP, when you complain about the place like this.

Just leaving this here...
And my favourite acronym in the world ever is DILLIGAF. Well, that and SNAFU.

Badcat 😂😂😂😂😂

Pannnnn I'm genuinely interested why you consider your opinion to be so important? Are you so entitled that you think your "heavy" judging of others is something any anonymous stranger would be concerned about? It must be truly extraordinary to feel so superior and self-important.

You could be HM The Queen IRL but here you're just a member of an internet forum with no more rights or superiority of mind than the rest of us. Hope that doesn't burst your bubble.

Oh, it won't. People like that are always much too far up their own arses for that to be a possibility. Alas.

On the subject of lawyers, I'm one, I've sworn with clients before. Sometimes it's appropriate. You judge it. I have very high approval ratings from clients, so it can't be that much of an issue. I've also used swear words whilst drafting before, though admittedly that's been in the form of direct quotes whilst doing witness statements.

I find the word Chav much more offensive than the word Fuck or Cunt. It's derogatory and dripping in class hatred.

Using the word 'Chav' isn't big or clever. It makes you come across as ignorant and conceited. I wonder if you talk like that in front of your children? I also wonder if your parents are proud of raising someone who looks down on people?

WIBU to ask you to clean up your act and stop using vile words like that?

Because you don't want to come across as a fucking cunt now, do you?

Chav is a Romany word stolen by snobs

Trust me Ihate she's not the queen. I've heard the queen say 'bloody'!

After a bit of 'quiet itrospection' (I thunk and thunk and thunk till my brain hurt)
I still dont give a rats arse how some random on an internet forum 'judges' me. You dont know me in RL and never will so why waste your energy judging me? ( Actually I suppose it makes you feel superior making up judgements about strangers based on a few swear words on a page )

rather than take some time for quiet introspection

Oh my god, are you serious? When you make a comment you expect the whole of MN to stop for quiet introspection, so we can revel in your brilliance and how right you are? FFS.

Actually, I suspect that this, along with the OP, is really just goady fuckery.

Pannnn - I have taken your advice and spent the afternoon in "quiet introspection".

I come to the conclusion that swearing is rather fucking marvellous

Oh bollocks I have burnt the fucking cock wombling dinner. Quick ring the bastard Chinese

... Idly wondering where 'fuckoffyouwankbadgers' would be best inserted in current drafting... Brexit deal... Coalition of chaos agreement... Queens speech...

Oh come on. You just know her maj has had to say more than once 'oh pheeeelllleeep, one does not say cunt in front of the subjects'

The way I feel about most politicians right now I think I would project it on to the exterior of the Houses of Parliament in 20 foot high letters.
