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?

My mother and step-father thought it their duty to teach their daughters to swear appropriately. I'm carrying on the family tradition and making sure my kids know when and where a good fuck is OK. Mind you, with two autistic kids that mainly consists of saying 'unless you have fallen off your bike and broken your leg the phrases are "Ouch!" and "Oh dear!" '
They do know that swearing at people is very aggressive and not acceptable.

Saying 'What the ...?' is far more annoying than a decent bit of anglo-saxon.

I only came here to post the cunt song.

And say the word cunt.

I see op fucked off. Good

Oh do fuck off dear

I LOVE the language on here! I've often thought we should have a thread that amalgamates all the monikers in one place. My personal favorite is cockwomble, closely followed by twunt. They're just so wonderfully descriptive!

We should start a thread of favourite swears.

I won an award at work last week for describing some rude git from Performance Management as a "cockwombling knobjockey". He was known as The Tool for ages, until some newbug somehow got the impression his surname was O'Toole and nearly blew it.

Welcome to the internet. I'll say whatever I fucking want.

Ooo... knobjockey (furiously scribbles on list...)

Bollocks. If I want to fucking swear, I'll bastard swear.

Now kick yourself to cunting death while I nail my fucking chavvy pissflaps to the coffee table.

Fucking cloud of bastard sheep's quim.

I have no cunting idea what you are fucking on about.

The twats in here are some of the best spoken wankers I've ever met

I'd rather someone call me a cuntyface than a 'hun'.

Net mums is that-a-way ->

One of he things I love best about Mumsnet is the swearing, the regularity alone makes us creative: wankbadger, cockwomble fottfsofatfosm makes you 're recognisable to other mn users. I love it so yabu and I suggest you use an other forum if you don't like one of our very intrinsic traits.

Please OP .... I love a good Cock, Balls and Fuck.

There is many-a-time when not other word has quite the resonance required.

In addition to tenancy for profanity I am often praised for my extensive vocabulary and the remarkable extent of my intellect

**tendancy... pissing autocorrect

My favourite tend to amalgamate carbs and nethers, namely twatwaffle and arsebiscuits.

I've only read the first page. Has this thread gone the same way as every other one telling us off for being uneducated and uncouth for our use of expletives?

The thread has gone to buggery, YouTheCat.

I wonder if they talk like this in front of their children.

Fuck no! I am able to moderate my language round my kids.

I also wonder if their parents would be proud of how they post on the internet.

I'm in my 30s, it's not like my parents can ground me if they find out I fucking swear.

My mum is a prude and every time I breath my smutty breaths I can feel abject disappointment seep out her pores so I may as well swear. My dad is dead but swore like a trooper so would probably be fucking proud.

Swearing every time isn't big and it isn't clever.

I fucking disagree

It makes people come across as uneducated chavs

As opposed to prudish snobs? (Is that you mum)

OP what actually happens when you read a swear word, do your finger fall off or summat?

If people stop swearing how will I be able to easily know that I am superior to them? Other people's language is a useful tool for me to assess them by.

Excellent, Empress.

I don't know why they do it. Do posters who start these threads really think we'll all say 'oh deary me, you're quite right'?

After the day I've had, sometimes I just need a really good, twatting swear.

OP are you Malcom Tucker's wife?

Either way git te fuck.

Are posters trying to be funny? Is so, epic fail.

is nethuns closed tonight?

What a surprise the op's gone
Clearly too much for her delicate eyes

I've never understood people who claim that swearing "shows the person has a poor vocabulary" or other such offensive nonsense.

As Billy Connolly said, I know at least 12 words and my favourite is still 'fuck'.

Are posters trying to be funny? If so, epic fail
Are you trying to be a twat? If so, spectacular success.
HTH

God, who says "epic fail"? I'm embarrassed for you.
