to think that bad language, especially in a lady,is very vulgar -

[LittleNorse]

• a sure indication of lack of intelligence, education, vocabulary and what my mother used to call 'breeding'?

ah feck arf

YANBU.

Bunch of ignorant cunts.

do you mean a woman generally or the female version of a gentleman?

Welcome to Mumsnet little norse

Are you trying to start an argument???
Or do you just want us to use vulgar language when we tell you to go away???

[wonders if this is linked to the 'AIBU re the lack of decent trolls recently?' thread...]

now, how did i know this thread would just be a swearathon...

As Billy Connolly said - I know lots of other words, I just like to use F*

pmsl at the replies

YABU. Nothing whatsoever to do with breeding, intelligence, education or vocabulary. Sometimes a swear word just does. Sometimes it's just the word that expresses how you might be feeling.

So yeah, yabfu.

I completely agree. If women who cussed only knew How nasty it made them look. What my Granny would have called trailer trash.

Good point MI. I suppose I mean women as the female equivalent of a gentleman would rarely use gratuitous foul language. As in every other word. "I effin' have such an effin' sore throat, I can't get an effin' appointment to see me effin dr though" being once such example overhheard yesterday at a bus stop.

Well most of us on here aren't titled so I don't suppose your opinion applies to us.

I gave my trainer a huge thrill on Thursday when I told him to "Fuck off", he'd been waiting over 18 months for me to say it. He even noted it on my exercise sheet. So obviously for some people bad language is actually desirable and a badge of achievement.

good job i aint no lady then.

i fucking hate anyone who resolves to cursing , no need for it at all

Well, the answer to that is - don't stand at the bus stop with all the commoners.....get yourself a (preferably chauffered) Maybach and avoid the inferior plebs.

Or go and live in Japan, apparently in Japanese there are no swear words anyway.

Fuck is a great word- useful in so many contexts, if you think about it. I dislike lazy language, but if a word is appropriate in a given situation I can't see why it shouldn't be used.

Oh no, I wasn't standing at the bus stop, I was calling in to visit my char's elderly infirm mother with a basket of fruit. She lives in a charming little cottage but it is rather near the road sadly.

read the title in active convos and just knew the first reply would be a variation of 'fuck off'

I beg to differ with your opening statement.

You stated that bad language in a lady is vulgar and an indictaion to lack of intelligence, education blah, blah, blah...

So why is it then that a large number of those who might be considered "ladies" by virtue of their ancestry have vocabularies that would shame a sailor?

Besides, nothing feels better than being able to let rip with a stream of invective against fuckwitted snobs.

I'm a Lady and frankly "breeding" and swearing tend to go hand in hand so YABFU.

Are you Emily from Little Britain?

ooh I want a char
