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

The word Pickle makes me think that Stacey Solomon is on the thread.

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!

For fuck's sake.

It’s been long proven that swearing has no impact on vocabulary, in fact some studies prove the opposite. Perhaps a good fuck would loosen you up… interpret that how you will.

I understand your perspectives, but yea, but no, but yea, but no.

we are ment to be enlightened, better than the average joe, why resort to gutter words ?

KathyBurke · 30/12/2022 21:57

Pickle Cottage, the ultimate swear word

Andylion · 30/12/2022 21:57

If you can say "fuck". I can say "f#$k".

So fuck off.

Mumtobabyhavoc · 30/12/2022 21:57

I like, shite cunt, since hearing it used in Trainspotting. Only used it once and it was here on MM.🤷‍♀️

I can’t do it I can’t do it
The stars all make it hard to read
Not hard to - just be blue
Your pearls will twist up in your tweed
I’ll say it, just say shit
Cos being mealiemouthed
will get right on my left tit
I can’t do it, I can’t do it toniiiight

I can’t do it I can’t do it
I’m not even going to fuckin try
No nice chat, you know that
It will make the righteous shake and cry
My cunting needs bunting
My bastard tongue is flapping and it will just say ‘twunting’
I can’t do it won’t do it toniiiiight.

That was great

To be fair, that’s why I avoid asterisks. 😁

BaublesandBangles · 30/12/2022 23:30

4 asterisks on a laptop gives you a blank post

FaazoHuyzeoSix · 30/12/2022 23:39

too fucking right, swearing is totally fine and allowed and it's great that we can be as crude, vulgar and unladylike as we like and anyone who wants to censor out swearing can fuck off to the far side of fuck and then fuck off some more.

but it's not obligatory and no one is compelled to cuss. some people prefer to write sht or fck to signal that they are hesitant to be so rude, same as some religious people will write G-d rather than God as a mark of respect. that is their right and yabu to object to such preferences

But they can choose another word. Swear or don't swear. Just stop being coy.

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.

The other rude boy phrase of choice was ‘Granny’s pubes on toast’.

My favourite Viz swear phrase, which I still use today but only on very special occasions, was taken from a Christmas annual. It was a variation of the ‘The Parkie’ strip, called Jurassic Parkie.

In it, he has found that the dinosaurs have all escaped and s**t (just for you, OP) everywhere. He then comes out with the unbelievably exquisite line “Jesus bastard fuck. Fucking dinosaurs”.

As I say, I only use it on special occasions, lest I wear out its special impact from overuse. But to this day, it still gives me a thrill when I do.

Annoyingwurringnoise · 30/12/2022 23:54

fuck off, do you think we don’t know you cheeky bastard?

yabu. you don't get to control if someone chooses of their own free will to be coy. you can choose not to, that is your freedom. fuck off with controlling other people's choices, you aren't in charge of them.
