I don't know why but I have never sworn and I don't think I ever will, Not even mild swears
It just doesn't come naturally to me. I say GOD sometimes if I make a mistake or drop something but that's about it ha

[Crimson Dynamo]

I don't know why but I have never sworn and I don't think I ever will, Not even mild swears

you are a credit to your parents:spin:

[30stone]

I swear because it adds enfasis to a sentance shows more emotion, usually anger.

I can control myself, never swear at work or infront of family, (non house family)

None of the above.

I swear a lot because I don't think swearing is a big deal.

I don't swear in public or in front of kids. But, in company my own age, I swear.

[setanta]

I never swore when I was younger but now it's just something that unfortunately comes naturally to me. Force of habit kinda thingy and it's usually to draw emphasis onto something which I'm passionate about rather than used to attack or criticize someone. I can guarantee you now that there'll be a fair few swear words coming out of me tomorrow with Ireland playing.

[Niamh.]

I rarely swear in real life but do a bit on here, I don't know why that is! maybe cos ye all make me angry lol (joking!!)

[Lauren]

Never sworn in front of my parents/family, and I'm 21.

[setanta]

Ah come on now Niamh, us Irish love to lace our conversations with a few juicy phrases from time to time. I'm sure that when you're hammered you've been known to waffle out a few pearls.

[Firewire]

I never swear in public. Not even to friends.

I use it on the internet though lol

[Niamh.]

oh God ,yeah when I'm drunk definately "shitbag" is one of my favorites hehe

[Vicky.]

I dont know why I swear to be honest, grew up with my parents, friends etc. swearing, so I just always have. Never actually swore infront of my parents until I was about 14 though, and never ever swore infront of my grandparents.

Even now, when gavs mother comes over, I have to stop swearing, I find it pretty hard as I do it without thinking most of the time.

[Niamh.]

Oh actually I swear quite alot when I'm driving! It's not my fault there are so many arseholes on the road!

[setanta]

Oh actually I swear quite alot when I'm driving! It's not my fault there are so many arseholes on the road!

Ha ha. My mother never swore in her life up until she decided to learn to drive about 10 years ago. You should hear her now when she's driving! I was the one she'd vent on when she first started to learn though - scarred me for life.

[Princess]

I swear all the time,but it's mainly feck,like 90% of the time,here feck isn't really considering that much of a swear.

[Niamh.]

yeah, feck doesn't count does it? that's like flip or blast lol:joker:

Nope, I swear because I like it. End of story.

This thread ****ing sucks.

[Crimson Dynamo]

does anyone (and i hope not) swear in front of their Mums?

[Stu]

Yes. And my mum swears back to me. We have good fun with it. Just the way we talk. I was raised around a lot of working class pub type atmospheres with good, friendly, honest folk and I am not one bit ashamed of it.

If you think swearing is a direct reflection on character, or that you are better than those that swear, or that swearing determines maturity, you are the one with the serious flaws, not us ****heads.

[Vicky.]

does anyone (and i hope not) swear in front of their Mums?

Yes, she swears infront of me also.

We dont have a normal mum and daughter relationship though, more like mates, i can talk to her about anything.

[WOMBAI]

Not as a general rule. Only when angry - not as part of everyday conversation which appears to be the case with a lot of youngsters today. Don't see the need for it.

[Princess]

does anyone (and i hope not) swear in front of their Mums?

Yeah,all the time,but it's not like we're swearing at them. I love how us Irish are so blase about it,lol!

[NettoSuperstar!]

I like it!...and my mum likes it too

[Crimson Dynamo]

Yes, she swears infront of me also.

We dont have a normal mum and daughter relationship though, more like mates, i can talk to her about anything.

what is not normal about "i can talk to her about anything." and being a mate?

that is what a mother daughter relationship is?

[InOne]

Will swear around my mates alot and that. Not usually infront of family. Not because it would be arkward or anything, just don't seem to.

[Vicky.]

what is not normal about "i can talk to her about anything." and being a mate?

that is what a mother daughter relationship is?

No, I mean she talks to me about her sex life and that also, that kind of thing, we get wrecked together on whatever takes our fancy, that kind of thing.

Not many people can talk about literally anything with their parents.

[Crimson Dynamo]

No, I mean she talks to me about her sex life and that also, that kind of thing, we get wrecked together on whatever takes our fancy, that kind of thing.

Your Mum should be your Mum first and foremost.

[Vicky.]

Your Mum should be your Mum first and foremost.

She is my mum...

You going all judgemetal on me? Oh gosh, thats not like you :rolleyes:

[Crimson Dynamo]

She is my mum...

You going all judgemetal on me? Oh gosh, thats not like you :rolleyes:

I dont think that getting wrecked together is very healthy. You should not be getting wrecked at all. have some control lassie. and your Mum should know better.

(hows that?):devil:

[Jack_]

I really don't see the big fuss around swearing. It's a few letters strung together to form a word which some stupid twat decided to deem 'offensive'.

I've sworn in front of my parents for about a year now, and they've become used to it, even though they may not like it. I grew up with them swearing when they were annoyed so I do exactly the same.

I also hate the fact that young people are looked upon that they shouldn't swear, when these people that say this are the ones that go around 24/7 swearing themselves. Since when did swearing have an age restriction? **** the lot of them I say.

[Vicky.]

[Stephanie]

my mum and dad don't care if i swear

[Tom]

I don't really swear apart from online?

[pinkmichk]

None of the above.

i am the same

you may not agree is someone called your mother a fat cee u next tuesday in the street?

[Stu]

It's thanks to the moral highground brigade that we have to suffer such rock classics as 'This Is The New Hit' and 'She Ucking Hates Me' on Kerrang.

Mind you, Kerrang is sufferance in itself these days. Pink? Avril Lavigne? Paramore? Rawk on!

you may not agree is someone called your mother a fat cee u next tuesday in the street?
So from what I gather from this diamond of a point, is that all swearing is in the context of calling Shaun's mother a ****?

Nice.

Dont know why are I swear alot though, just got use to it now.

[Stu]

That is an excellent counterpoint. Man. This is going to go far.

What kind of whiskey's warming your throat tonight, then?

gay **** twat

Not quite ... ;)

But I get the point, I'm just being pedantic :p

[lily.]

I'm beginning to realise there's a lot more to you than it first seems LT.

[Crimson Dynamo]

are you saying my fly is open AGAIN?

[lily.]

It's a possibility. But since I'm a lady, I wouldn't be looking there would I? ;)

[Tom]

It's a possibility. But since I'm a lady, I wouldn't be looking there would I? ;)

LADY LESBO LINDA!

Is that what it is now?

Bringing it back to the thread, no you wouldn't be looking there with your description, your sort aren't into that

[lily.]

Indeed.

indeed, there's a difference between saying "oh for ****'s sake" and "LeatherTrumpet's a ****ing ****".

Lesbians.

[Crimson Dynamo]

Lesbians.

like they exist:joker:

[lily.]

In Tom's imagination, anything is possible.

[Tom]

In Tom's imagination, anything is possible.

In my imagination lesbians are hot blondes, sometimes brunettes if I make an exception, not men with boobs in dungarees and Doc Martins

Hmm, I really am on another planet aren't I? :joker:

[Tom]

indeed, there's a difference between saying "oh for ****'s sake" and "LeatherTrumpet's a ****ing ****".

Ahh, but if it was only words then it doesn't matter on the context

"Its only words but only if not in an offensive situation" would be a more appropriate song title

[lily.]

You might just be. Where I live, lesbians disguise themselves as straight people and you'd never know.. :O

[Jords]

I swear if its appropraite, I like to say **** alot when **** things happen :)

[Shaun]

Ahh, but if it was only words then it doesn't matter on the context

You're right, I'll run that by Stephen Gat-


...oh.

[Tom]

...oh.

They might be looking for a new member, so maybe keep it in mind and run it by the rest of them at the auditions

There was a young singer called Gately
Who hasn't been singing much lately
After a bottle of rum
And a cock up his bum
His trip to the sun ended fatally

[MrGaryy]

I swear because I like it, I can survive without swear words, but why should I? they add emphasis to things. My Dad and two older swear, its always been around me, all my friends do, it;s **** natural at this stage. I swear in front of my parents but never ever say ****.

[Dolphin-and-Whale]

I'm an 19 year old and I swear quite a lot. I'm well educated and don't swear to appear to be something I'm not. I just swear a lot and it's just a habit now. I'm Irish though and most Irish people Swear ;)

[Dolphin-and-Whale]

As McGaryy said about emphasis. that's a good point, I do swear to add emphasis to what I'm about to say.

[Z]

I do a fair bit on a day to day basis, although the second I'm on here my standards are suddenly at regal levels and I try not to swear at all; there is always a polite alternative to get your point across. I swear in front of my parents; I'd feel very belittled if they told me not to. As somebody said, there's a difference between swearing at someone and swearing in front of someone.

Yes, there is Greg absolutely!

[Crimson Dynamo]

I think as you get older the need to swear diminishes as you become more confident in who you are and less bothered about how you appear to others.

Not nessesserily LT, alot of people I know swear alot but it's just the way they talk not because it's "cool" and they aren't kids!

are they poorly educated?

[Niamh.]

are they poorly educated?

Not at all! I think it's more of a cultural thing really, Irish people tend to swear alot!

[Prole]

If it's done by someone intelligent and eloquent, swearing can be very creative and expressive. However, if it's used because you can't think of another word to express your emotions, then it just makes you sound a bit thick.

[Nicola]

I don't swear much and certainly not for the sake of it, as I've been brought up not to swear and feel old enough to know better now. My parents aren't big on swearing and certainly don't condone it, whatever the circumstances and me and my partner are careful to ensure that we don't swear in front of our little girl or subject her to any swearing either.

[Z]

I think as you get older the need to swear diminishes as you become more confident in who you are and less bothered about how you appear to others.

I get what you mean; a lot of people swear for the shock factor when they're in their early teens. I tend to only swear if I'm either telling a rude joke or I'm pretending to be angry/genuinely angry; I don't just randomly drop swear words into conversations, if you get what I mean?

Yeah, I was the opposite though, I never swore when I was a teenager, I tend to swear more since I got older, mostly when I'm driving though so maybe that's why lol!
