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.

If you're offended, there are lots of other forums out there.

Both unnecessary. Manners cost nothing.
And who is talking about a behaviour point? I said isolation - which has far greater impact.

Whats hicky?

You used the word 'database' as a verb.

"then I database. And I database over and over again. So when parents are complaining, just imagine what’s written all over their students database".

That's recording a behaviour point/being sent into the isolation room. And it's a student's behaviour record on the MIS (for the less technologically minded or acronym-familiar, the database) that they'd be able to see a report upon. Although the number of points/incidences are usually added as a field on reports and/or will be accessible and/or notified each time through a School-Parent Communications app in any case, so it's not likely to be a surprise to them in any case.

Hicky, clapped - both mean common, ugly etc

I absolutely love a C bomb and have used it in comments a plenty but out of respect for you @Lemondrizzle4A .... I shall leave it off here for you

But you are being fucking unreasonable.

Sorry 🤭

What do you mean when you say you “database”? And then database some more- what exactly are you doing?

do you mean you input their behaviour into a database? I use databases, I don’t database.

you seem to be speaking a different dialect here, hicky, clapped meaning common, database being a verb? Not heard that before at all.

in my world a hicky is a lovebite, and clap is making a noise by hitting your hands together.

To database is a verb. Onto a database, which is a noun.

Well you kind of asked for it OP.

You can't tell adults what to say and what not to say. Swearing is allowed on here and swear we shall.

First thing I say every morning without fail is FUCK OFF. To the alarm clock. Last thing I say at night - again without fail - is Fuck it's cold or Fuck it's hot.
I'm not happy if I'm not fucking swearing and I'll tell you another thing - if someone never swears they are not to be trusted. True medical fact.

Hmm I don't know really.

I'm inclined to agree with the poster you quoted regarding getting the attention you want.

It's was the "AIBU to expect people to use less foul language on here" that made me think it.

Unless you're Justine Roberts under a name change, yes you are unreasonable to 'expect' this just because you don't like it.

There are many people on here who deserve to be told to fuck off but I’m far too polite to tell them so.

Boring

Oh cockwombles! That’s us told. Off to Netmums do we fuckity fuck!

They are all a bunch of renegade fuckwits!

Nobody has mentioned describing somebody as a bastard & there are plenty of them around. There now, that feels better.

Every single poster who has gleefully said "off you go to Netmums, off you fuck!" is a bully.

There you go - I said it.

You lot revel in saying "fuck" and cunt" on here to intimidate posters who aren't comfortable with that language.

You belittle them into thinking they're not "cool" somehow by adopting the language of the in club on here.

How much more interesting it would have been to read an analysis of why middle-class women on Mumsnet seem to find the need to let it out by swearing in a "tinkly-laugh" kind of way, all knowing and asides etc

Instead, we just get page after page of posters trying to out-swear each other in what they think are creative ways, which instead reads like a long thread of people trying to ingratiate with each other.

YANBU @Lemondrizzle4A , it's tiresome and I actually agree with you.

Every single poster who has gleefully said "off you go to Netmums, off you fuck!" is a bully.
There you go - I said it.

Just because you said it, it doesn’t make it true. Or mean it makes any sense.

I’m more offended by someone seemingly using “database” as a verb than I am by any swearing.

Interestingly I think a lot of it is to do with trying to feel part of the crowd. I admit to letting out the occasional expletive but would never have considered writing the same. I've just found myself doing exactly that in my last post. I'm now wondering if I'll get to the stage of writing it as my normal style of language here if only to let it out despite tending to agree with you & OP😂

I don’t like swearing myself and would always use feck in real life and on here

I do have a actual cunt t-shirt which is my favourite word that’s only used in certain situations and for certain people, including myself

You're posh, username. In my world clap is a nasty infection of your cunt

Sixth, actually.

Thank you for your honesty -

It's funny how so much of behaviours on here (and in real life!) tends to be about wanting to fit in.

I find it fascinating how some Mumsnetters stridently declare "it's always been this way on here, off you fuck to Netmums if you don't like it!"

An internet message board loudly proclaiming its 'culture' through the shared identity of tinkly-laughed swearing

Whatever next? 😃

People on here think it makes them edgy and modern and not at all property owning middle class, so little prospect I'm afraid, OP.
