Wouldn’t it be correct to say that the way we talk says a LOT about us?
A lot has to be said about a person who can not speak without F’ing and blinding in every sentence.
Many people can not speak without slipping a couple of F words in their speech…regardless of who they’re speaking too.
If they were called to a job interview…or had to speak to their employer or were stopped by the police-or whatever…would it really look good if they slipped a couple of F words in their sentence every now and again?
Some think that its OK to speak in front of their mates in relaxed and indecent way…but strongly believe that if they have to speak to important people they’ll “talk proper”…
But when one becomes SO relaxed and used to speak in a crude manner then automatically swear words escape from their mouth even when they don’t intend to…
I know ones school and area strongly plays a part….I went to a school where being foul mouthed was very common…..and whilst I didn’t become foul mouthed myself (cos I was “too girly” to swear) I did become immune to crude speech…it didn’t bother me one bit…..
The “snob school” that I attended after high school taught me the importance of avoiding swear words in ones speech…regardless of who you’re speaking to.
So, what can be said about someone who can not speak without adding the F word after every three word?
Are parents responsible for the usage swear words…after all if they made a massive fuss whenever their child said a swear word then the child would KNOW that what he/she is saying is wrong?
OR is it correct to say that sometimes one NEEDS to use swear words in order to express their feelings clearly?....but then again shouldn’t such a person purchase a good quality thesaurus?
Our society dictates that it is “unladylike” for a woman to swear…so does that mean that men who swear are more “manly”?
And when exactly is swearing if ever-justified? I’ve always thrown the word “crap” around…that’s cos for a long time I wasn’t even aware that it was a swear word…. :oops:
And don’t some youth, from certain areas where unemployment is high swear SO much?
Is this something that one can easily grow out of?
Or is this like many things “minor” and a big deal shouldn’t be made about it?
And would any one agree that Urdu/Punjabi swear words sound “ruder” then English swear words? And that many elderly folks from the older generation need to calm it down as well….
Share your thoughts…

There is nothing wrong with swearing.
Let me explain:
If it helps you to express yourself and get the point across, then that is all that matters.
It is simply a question of taste, and not of morality.
Morality comes into it only if she actually swears AT the listener.
However, if she is swearing at an idea, or a policy, then whats wrong with it ?
For example, she says, in rage: The questions in that interview were f***ing racist.
Omrow
I despise swearing - it's base and vulgar and has no place in a religious minded persons speech.
i agree. the english language is vast enough to express oneself, without the need to swear. :roll:

I assent to your response, our shared vernacular is prodigiously satisfactory for personal articulation to such an extent profanity is unnecessary.
A person resorts to swearing when he/she cant find a word more suiting to the situation. Sometimes a slap on the hands or a thesaurus will help... but like most things the person has got to want to change.
IMO a person who instantly resorts to swearing is weak and incapable of channeling their anger/frustration in a more appropriate way. Responsibility partially lies with the parents they have to fully discourage it and follow it up with punishment if the kids swear. Most parents dont seem to care.
The way a person speaks says [b]ALOT[/b] about a person. He can come across as intelligent and smart or ignorant/obnoxious and scummy. Words are very powerful in that we can use them to draw a picture of what a persons ettiquite and manners are like.

i agree so i have started to tone down my language. Like Muslim Sister i went to a school where everyone swore and those that swore the loudest and most were seen as the coolest
i really have to restrain myself from using swear words on here as sometimes i just feel like stringing every swear word i can think of to make a sentence
but i never swear infront of elders and children just my mates
Evreything he said
Yeah schools are the big problem in terms of picking up bad habits such as swearing. the kool kids swear so every1 who wants 2 fit in feels the need to swear unneccesarily.
I used to swear around mates, simply out of habit....however i had this thing where when i was around family or people i respect, i never swore. it just never came to the tongue.....only starts flowing like a river when im around my peers :?
my old next door neighbour....he was swearing in every sentence, i explained to him theres no need to stick swears in.........ur not angry at anything, uve got no reason to swaer....ur simply saying it for the sake of saying it.
he started attacking me for that, sayin im not perfect. lol, im far from it but thats the response you get when you try helping todays kids. they dont want to listen unfortunately.
ive stopped swearin now for about 2 months and its goin wel Alhamdulillah.
didnt knw Crap was a swear :?

George!
Is the COE in partial communion with the Catholic Church?
I swear when reacting to something bad or unexpected. And when I let emotion get the better of me. I really should start saying sugar and fudge instead.
But I always pick up on whenever my little brothers or cousins swear. I tell'em to repeat what they said. For some of them it takes two or three goes before they realise I dont want them to swear.
Georgy boy! How do sir?
Ok, ok.. tell me what he said up there isn't airy-fairy and I'll take back what I said... maybe...

There are too many words in the English language
Hey me too, it was called primary school.
Gentleness and kindness were never a part of anything except that it made it beautiful, and harshness was never a part of anything except that it made it ugly.

I stopped swearin long time ago but i always use the word s**t which now is normally replaced with "sugar" which i still feel bad using becuz my intention is to replace "sugar" with "S**t", swearing is disgustin, bad way of getin your point across!
heh, that would add a new meaning to 'how many lumps you want in the tea'!
And before anyone says it, that is disgusting.

My son swore once. I washed his mouth out with soap. Dettol soap to be precise. He's never used profanities again.

I've cut down on my swearing a LOT
I only very very occsaionally slip the F word-when I'm bubbling with anger
but since I've made up with my brother I dont have a reason to swear anymore
I'm starting Uni 2moro-and I DONT wanna come across as being "cheap, common and uneducated" cos them people who swear a lot do come across like that
Ive NEVER sworn in front of dad cos he'd shout at me-
IF my baby sister ever says a rude word-however minor it is-we all sort her out
my brother is becoming foul mouthed-I blame his friends :evil:
and it is MORE of a big deal is woman swear-that cos we live in a society full of double standards :evil:

However, he never directed any abusive words at the Romans.
Strange isn't it.
