Can you Effin Swear On Mumsnet?

[fio2]

Or is it not tolerated?

I didnt think it mattered but ks said I shouldnt write fuck I should write f**k instead

I mean I know its a parenting site but the children cant hear can they? Or is it tolerated on some parts of the site and not others? Or on some threads and not others? iykwim

discordia, I swear, but I have little 'uns and I never considered that. Thanks for that. (Really, I never had thought about that.)

I might in the chat threads, though, late at night. I'm assuming that no one reads the next day. Let me know if you do!

One of my favourites from Roger's Profanisauras was 'bobfoc'. It means 'body off baywatch, facr off crimewatch'.

And I loved 'bacne' - the spots you get on your back.

Want some more?

sorry, face, not facr

PSML, keep 'em coming anorak !

FWIW, Discordia. I don't swear in front of my kids (ok, maybe the odd 'bloody' or bugger' slips out in the car), and I do mostly use asterisks if I'm swearing on here.

Name your euphemism and I'll find it.

I'm sitting her pmsl at all the euphemisms I dare not post

I really do not think swearing is appropriate on a parenting website, although I can understand why you may use it in the chat section.

Very funny JJ.

My Aboriginal friends' kids call it 'Gumbudge'

Are we still going on this or is it back to umbridge and affrontery?

I had Rogers Profanisaurus - it made me howl
