Re: foul language

Call me sexist and old fashioned but I HATE being in the company of ladies?? that swear.

In a "men only" situation, I can overlook prophanities although I do not reply to them in a similar manner but I tend to walk away from women that utter vulgar language.

I DO swear occasionally but for the most part it is to express frustration at a situation....and while I am alone!

I prefer to let my smileys do the talking

Re: foul language

I do object to foul language in front of women and indeed have got into some hairy situations when I have asked people in pubs etc. to moderate their language. I would not swear in front of their wives or girlfriends, and I ask that they don't in front of mine. The trouble is lots of these young people now are brought up listening to foul language and they pass it on to thir kids and it becomes a norm, unfortunately.

Re: foul language

An old teacher of mine once said that swearing showed a lack of imagination and a deficit in vocabulary. She was only talking about words like "bloody" at the time too and tried to get us to imagine a graphic image of the described subject everytime we felt like using the word in order to put us off.

As an example, one girl was always late because she "missed the b' bus again!" to which the teacher would reply. "Oh dear, how much blood was there on the bus this morning?"

Re: foul language

Well that's a bit of a silly question really, because if the girl had missed the bus how would she be likley to know how much blood was on it, or if indeed there was any blood on it at all.

Which goes to show that teachers are not as smart as they would like us to think they are.

I put men, but times have changed, and some women do swear every other word, but in my job the blokes swear most,and as they tend to be ex troopers Sailors and Dockmen I get sent to,The older blokes can be the worse for industrial language, I've heard words that would make a navvy blush!!!

Re: foul language

I used to live in a house that was full of men (well, only two others, actually), and my language deteriorated.

Now that I have a wife and kids I am very careful with my language, as I don't want my kids picking up any swear words earlier than they have to.

Re: foul language

I hate foul language........I can handle the odd expletive.......but it seems that the youngsters today cannot hold a conversation without effing and jeffing every other word.

I think that TV is in some respects responsible for some of the acceptance of bad language.

Re: foul language

I don't believe in a blanket ban on all swearing; there is a time and a place for it, that's all.

(and that includes going too fast into Paddock Hill Bend at Brands Hatch on a motorbike...!)
