Foul language on here.

[Lemondrizzle4A]

AIBU to expect people to use less foul language on here. I’m put off by people using c , f.
Im not a prude and believe me there is many a time I’ve used the F word in conversations but wouldn’t dream of using it on here and never the c word.
Edited as deleted the asterisks - obviously doesn’t like them.

So have I. But I have worked in the real world, in the NHS and education, not stuck hidden in an office. Looks like you need to get out more. I have heard it for as long as we have reported things on a system. I don’t suppose you have to database many incidents which involve real people.

I think people who swear actually have a higher vocabulary and intelligence, it has been proven. We are also adults who when making a point can respond with swearing.

The majority of people on here are also parents who are stressed, juggling everything every day and facing financial worries plus a million other things.

So if they want to swear, I'm fine with it. 😊

You can also just scroll on by to the PG section of the world, that doesn't exist.

People have always sworn, its not new, you need to get used to it I'm afraid. It's just words and you'll never stop it.

@Naunet I don’t expect to stop it, but I don’t have to read it. Or take much notice of it. I was brought up in a no swearing house and I don’t have to get used to it in real life. Friends and family don’t do it. If DDs swear, it’s not around me but I suspect they don’t need to. Just because people do it, doesn’t make it right. A bit like murder.

Oh Oh has someone chimed in with 'Off you fuck then cunty chops' yet? I still chuckle about that sometimes... LEGEND.

CUNT is my favourite word.

😂

Jesus Christ. STOP policing EVERYTHING.

Same here.

Yeah. Yeah, it’s almost exactly like murder.

FFS 🙄

🤣🤣🤣

If you don't like swearing there are other platforms available that are heavily moderated to make sure all the women are nice and kind and don't rock the boat. Go and use them.

Here, we are allowed to be honest and that includes getting angry and expressing that anger eloquently with the full range of expletives if we choose. It's part and parcel of living free from patriarchal oppression. We don't owe you "nice"

@CactusSwoonedEnding How unpleasant. Cannot see how behaving like a man makes you free from anything. Certainly not men!

Being pleasant can also fuck right off. You are not the police and I do not owe you pleasant. People who aren't judgy about language are much more interesting and worthwhile to be with. I do not need your approval to be happy and the sour expression on your face right now is just a symptom of the poison that has infected your soul. It is not trying to "behave like men" by living free unless you first accept that only men have the right to be free.

You’re never going to stop the swearing on mumsnet, it’s pretty famous for it.

I personally love the word “cunt”. I don’t use it often but when I do it feels good to get it out.

Mumsnet self styles as 'the sweary one;' there's been swearing since it was all fields round here. What's really weird is coming onto a site with a sweary ethos and expecting everyone to change for you. This site is sweary. You can either put up with it or go elsewhere. There are lots of sites where there is a no swear policy.

We have had these threads regularly over the past 15 or so years I've been reading. And we are still sweary fuckers.

Well I’m not American, and therefore database acting as a verb can fuck right off!

I'm British and database as a verb can fuck right off. It sounds ridiculous.

"The poison that has infected [her] soul"? Talk about overreaction! You sound ridiculous

right given this some more thought. If you use database as a verb ‘to database an incident’ since database is now the action where are you going to database the incident? It’s a bit like saying ‘I’ll report the incident’ which is a meaningless statement if you don’t use a qualifier. So would you say ‘I’ll database the incident on the database?’ I mean that’s just gibberish.
Please make it make sense.

Not unreasonable at all. Unfortunately it's indicitive of the type of people on this site.

We are all adults here. No one is going to burst into flame for seeing the words fuck or cunt.
And sometimes, fuck or cunt is the most appropriate word.
