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.

Thing is, you are unimportant and what you think is unimportant.

Same for all of us. None of us as individuals really matter on here. Just strangers passing some time.

If anyone doesnt like it and never visits again, nobody would notice or care.

Thats the nature of the internet

Sometimes though, it is the only word that will do.

Ah right you prefer hearing it 😁

I think you mean 'cont' 🤣☘

😂

I think you meant to say too many fucking foul-mouthed cunts didn’t you? 🤣

Im fucking sick of reading shitty language.

YABVU to compare Farrage to cunts, that’s an insult to cunts. They’re much more attractive than he is, as well as being life giving, non judgement and not hypocritical ( they will clam up if they don’t like you.

You are also being unreasonable @Lemondrizzle4A , if you swear IRL you have no grounds to be offended, and it’s well done that people who swear love longer and have a higher tolerance for pain 😂

I agree with OP. I love a good swear . Malcolm Tucker is my hero. But I only swear when I know for sure that my audience are as foul mouthed and appreciative of swearing as I am .

🤣🤣🤣

That wasn't the fucking first reply, arseface 😉

Agreed. Your user name is the bollocks BTW.

MN fits that, swear away!

I don't really find swearing offensive tbh, especially if it's not used aggressively at someone.
It's a normal part of life and it's just a normal part of mumsnet culture.
Theres lots of message boards that don't allow swearing, so it shouldn't be too hard to find somewhere less offensive

What do you mean rest your case?

You've proved absolutely nothing other than you wish to censor other people's language and that your OP simply isn't as entertaining as the inevitable sweary responses.

🤣🤣🤣

Or come to London where cunt a term of endearment

I am genuinely interested OP in what bothers you about swear words. Can you try and articulate what the problem is beyond a feeling of surprise or shock on your part to hear or read them? Is there a moral issue, or do you simply feel they signal such strong emotions they distract you from the meaning of the comment?

The N word is a word I would never use or countenance because it relates to the inhumane and disgusting treatment of one group of people by another. Some people in the group who have been harmed sometimes choose to reclaim it and I can appreciate that.

The C word is a way of insulting someone by saying they are a vulva. While historically this has been a terrible shocking thing to call someone, I can understand why women might want to reclaim it, so I cannot get upset about its use.

The F word is fairly prevalent today. there is literally a small chain of coffee shops called Fuckoffee. I wouldn't use it in front of children because it relates to sex but why would an adult be upset hearing it?

Perhaps try and think about what the issue is with your reception of those words - if you continue to focus on the speaker and policing their production, you are unlikely to convince anyone.

I thought it was Cambridge United Netball Team. Silly me.

Or scotland where its every second word out our mouths 😆 🤣

Sorry but no deal. I spend more than 16 hours a day being falsely polite to people at work or restraining myself in front of my daughter.

Fucked if I am also going to censor myself on a board that is literally designed for adults to have frank and uncensored conversations.

People love using the c word on here. I’ve never been in any real life situation where it gets used as much as on here. Even other people’s kids are called it.

Well, I suppose there could be this one exception!

What case? That people swear? So fucking what? You don't have to like it. It's just part of the English language. People don't call eachother cunts etc on here anyway. They use it in frustration or to be descriptive of something annoying.

What the fuck, a cunt is a cunt and no other word will do.
Now, if hubby and holibobs starts sneaking in, then I'll be offended
