I once got a posting on the BBC "Play Mornington Crescent" website rejected for rudeness - Cockfosters. Felt slightly dirty all day.

Thou prating lean-witted pignuts - who needs swear words. Even those of limited vocabulary now have help

'Thou queasy idle headed mumble news' just sounds like me this morning lol

We have just employed a new girl at work whose surname is cumming - work filter picks up any e-mail sent to her as offensive. Poor girl

I worship at the altar of sweariness

hate to see Mary Whitehouse drawn into these threads, that's my f*ing RL name!!!!

tatt · 12/05/2005 15:09

oops - didn't read the thread title properly. I'm not keen on a total ban on swearing on mumsnet as sometimes only bleeps will do. OTOH there is more profanity than I am confortable with too. So I love the alternatives

When Douglas invented my name, he mixed up a lot of obscene words, and played about with them until he found something broadcastable.

ashlismummy · 13/05/2005 16:10

I don't see that there's really any need? There's loads of other words in the english language..

But I will admit that swearing does help get your point across when you're angry!

I'm going to post this and then I am going to be a good girl

To be, or knob to be: that is the question:
Whether 'tis knobler in the minge to suffer
The quims and arrows of outrageous fortune,
Or to toke arms against a pee of troubles,
And by opposing end them? To grope: to shaft;
No more; and by a shag to say we end
The crotch-ache and the thousand natural humps
That fucks are heir to, 'tis a consummation
Devoutly to be wank'd. To die, to shag;
To shag: perchance to cream: ay, there's the rub (fnar, fnar);
For in that shag of death what dreams may cum
When we have shuffled off this mirena coil,
Must give us pricks: there's the respect
That makes sodomy of so long life;
For who would bear the whips and porns of time,
Will need to shop in more than Ann Summers
The prongs of despised love, the law's delay,
The insolence of orifice and the spurts
That patient merit of the unworthy tokes,
When he himself might his quietus make
With a bare bodkin? who would arseholes bear,
To grunt and sweat under a weary life,

We are all adults so why the f**k not!

sestius · 13/05/2005 21:57

Hausfrau, Flanders and Swann did a song called "Pee po belly bum drawers" - presumably belly was rude at the time, oo-er
