Foul language on Mumsnet…

Foul language on Mumsnet?

Having newly registered with Mumsnet I am dismayed, after perusing uTube and other forum sites where obscenities constantly pop up, to note use of foul language on this ?family site?.

I reported the swearing, specifically, where ?arseholes? was utilised as a reference to political parties.

The return I got from Mumsnet HQ was ??we don't think we
should be the arbiters of what people should find offensive and what
they shouldn't.? and ??We generally find it's better to let the boards self-
police??

May I engage you all in a quick survey?

Hands up all those that deem ?ARSEHOLES? as an offensive expression that should not be used on these boards??

Thank you?

Hands up those that deem ?ARSEHOLES? inoffensive??

Thanks?

Looks like the arseholes have it!

Well apparently, and we only have to ask them and they'll tell us she's/he's right.

Idontlikeit - my DH drove me into work this morning. I was in a car and he was the driver. I had a meeting in work and was finalising some papers for it which is why he drove me. Does that mean I was in a chauferred car en route to a meeting too?? Golly gosh!!!

I nearly wrote that VT

Off to look up the S&M cases we make them learn for criminal law - some truly great judgements have been handed down on the use of rubber truncheons.

Notbloodybranston, surely more than a three year LLB course if idontlikeit is working as well? She must be doing this LLB part-time or via OU, which means it will take forever far longer.

I still don't understand why she is doing an LLB on top of a professed English degree in the first place.

Superwoman indeed.

Swear, don't swear. Whatever. Vive la difference, there are better things to be judgy about.

Anyway, there's plenty of swearing in literature. Go and read Chaucer - not the translated, cleaned-up version - The Wife of Bath's tale is a good place to start. Maybe read up on some Latin swearing. Or the rich history of British swear-words. Go on, it's an education!

She prefers those websites 'where ladies are ladies'

Laaayyyyydeeeez.

Love it!

Is IDONTE WASWITHCARES long lost sister by any chance? They both have the same "Aren't I amazing with all my money/high powered job?" superior attitude problem?

I wish I knew Bodie and Doyle

I'd fuck 'em

rofl at hobnobsaremyfave, no more piss pants funny posts please everyone i'm very ill and all this laughing is making my throat really really sore but at the same time.

hobnobs, I was going to post the exact same thing, but might have got accused of stalking and bullying

Me too... I mean re WWC. Although I'd definitely fuck whichever one Martin Shaw played!

Doyle

you never fail to put a smile on my face anyfucker

AF I'll probably get accused of the same as I was less than complimentary to WWC on the other thread ! OH and to any Welsh speaking swearers
CachiDiawlBuggerShit!
I won't bother translating I think you all get my gist

notbloodybranston I too learnt my language skills in practice, at the junior bar. Helped me understand my clients.

And the occasional pissed judge .

hobnobs you're a multi-lingual swearer - OMG!

BDSM and I haven't got a degree in anything

Me neither! I love these threads though - they bring out the worst in me. I love to push buttons when people are being pompous.

notbloodybranston I don't think rof is the place to go, I really hope (having met many of them) that bunch of c*nts is not too representative of the profession.

Turd

Off to do the school run now...so if my son reads on the way home does that make me his Driver. OOhh given that I spend half my life driving my kids around to meetings(clubs/swimming lessons etc. etc. etc) can I now realistically call myself a driver rather than a plain old mum/dogsbody? Some people are so pompous they make me want to swear................loudly.

btw, not calling anyone a turd, just wanted to type it.

BDSM, I have just realised the significance of your initials...

AF, I know

Have actually been thinking about changing my name as, quite frankly, I'm done with sexual experimentation and adventures! Have tried everything I've wanted to and BDSM not really up there (pardon the pun) in my favourites!
