To think people swear too much online and IRL?

[jericho131]

I'm a Gen-Z'er in my late 20s living in Ireland. I would be considered unusual in a few ways but one thing people always point out is how seldom I swear. I guess it's a habit I picked up from my parents. They're not religious by any means and aren't even that strict of parents but they don't swear nearly to the same level as people do here in Ireland.

I understand it's cultural and my friend pointed out that the Irish, Australians, Brits, and Americans have much less taboo on swearing (though Americans would still be conservative compared to others).

I don't even mind hearing them but every time, I go on Reddit, It feels a bit grating hearing the word "fuck" constantly thrown around. To me excessive swearing seems a bit low class when it's done in a normal conversation or debate.

I’m in my 50’s and my potty mouth has got worse as I got older. Really couldn't give a fuck either 🤷🏻‍♀️

‘Low-class’?

'Cha' you sound very high class 🤣🤣🤣

I never claimed to be any class. Like I said, if someone is triggered by the phrase, they need to look in the mirror. Do you want me to get you one or do you have one to hand?

👏👏👏

I don't need one. I couldn't not give a flying fuck how you or others view me. I think you definitely need a mirror though.

If you don't care, then kindly disengage from the things I say to the OP and not make them about you. Off you pop.

Hahaha. You really are hilarious.

Maybe they swear because they don’t have any pearls to clutch. Low class swines!

Maybe so? It was a question from the OP, not me.

I don’t fucking care

OP’s terminology. Hence the quotation marks.

Me too, and I also enjoy swearing.

I don’t notice swearing. I’m sweary myself; they’re just words. In my team, we nominate a ‘cunt of the week’ 😂

I’ll admit, someone that objects to swearing might not be my cup of tea. It’s a bit prissy.

Don't care much but I really really hate, for example, sitting in a kids sports class and the adults are chatting together effing and blinding.. like hello kids are here

I know lots of words. I still like the word fuck.

Low class?? That makes you unreasonable.

Some swearing is just meaningless - more punctuation than expression. But creative, expressive swearing, as often seen on here, is much more entertaining and gets a point across very aptly.

We all pick habits up from our parents as kids but without the need to turn them into a personality trait.
