No need for S**t just type 'shit' or use another word if you don't want to swear.

YANBU. The coyness is so silly.

BaublesandBangles · 30/12/2022 20:25

Yes, I fucking know.

TheKitchenWitch · 30/12/2022 20:26

For fuck's sake, can't you even get the bloody title right? :D

BaublesandBangles · 30/12/2022 20:27

Do people not already know this?! good god

TigerDroveAgain · 30/12/2022 20:31

Every time I see sh$t or b**ch or some other mimsy nonsense I want to to say that I don't understand what they're talking about, and act all confused: and do theConfused face (which is almost as annoying!)

TheNewSchmoo · 30/12/2022 20:31

And no need to use "jaunty" bollocks like Wank Badger. If someone is a twat. Call them a twat.

QueenOfWeeds · 30/12/2022 20:32

Can I add the coy “pooh” when talking about shit, rather than the trouserless bear?

TwoRockSalmonAndAHaporthOfChips · 30/12/2022 20:32

All the asterisking plays havoc with the formatting, and loses half the words, putting the rest into bold. It drives me up the wall.

If I want to fecking swear or not is up to me, some people want to others fucking don’t

ChecoPerez · 30/12/2022 20:34

Best I've seen is "I don't like my colleague, he is a c word".

Just say he's a cunt for fuck sake!

RainbowZebraWarrior · 30/12/2022 20:36

Ooh. This reminds me of the film 'Wish you were here'

And so I will say "Up ya bum, and Pigs Willy"

And also reminds me of the comic 'The Viz'

And so I will say "Piss up a rope, twatstick"

I'm Autistic with ADHD traits. I actually need to swear on a daily basis to let out my frustrations.

So I shall say Fuck and Cunt. Over and over again. Because it helps my brain deal with daily life 😁

Plus, it's ok to swear. Swear words are in the Oxford Dictionary. Doesn't mean you're thick if you use them.

Yutes · 30/12/2022 20:36

My favourite mumsnet-isms are cock lodger and wank badger.

c* lodger doesn’t really have the same appeal

I don't care if people don't want to swear. But writing s* like MN censor swear words gets on my tits.

Stressedmum2017 · 30/12/2022 20:37

I agree, if you are writing sh*t instead of shit you need to grow up.

Jedsnewstar · 30/12/2022 20:39

Mumsnet is full of cuss words sometimes it makes me blush. Proper fucking blush.
Shitting shocking it is!

ForgottenNurseryRhymes · 30/12/2022 20:40

This has made me actually, in real life, laugh out loud, Thankyou!!

KathyBurke · 30/12/2022 20:42

I tell you what else can fuck right off, the word intercourse which some posters like to use. Just say Fuck for fuck sake. 🤣

Just tell people when you see it. I think 99% of Mumsnet members know that swearing is allowed.

Must be the week for the swearing (or lack of) whinge. Grin

Oh how fucking annoying someone already said it. 😂

At least their title made sense.
