Getting a bit fed up with the swearing
 

Literally all the f bombs are said for effect

look at me, im tough, i dont care, im edgy

sick of it

Just use your words, no need to try to impress people, they dont care

when will young people learn?


:bored:

I swear alot too and no one could accuse me of being young :skull:

om thew BB show im talking about

Yes I know, some people just speak like that I mean

No

this is not normal language, its added to make people think they are street, i can tell

Niamh is so street :flutter:

They can accuse you of being Irish though :laugh:.

It does amuse me that when YouTube videos started being demonitized for having swearing in them and loads of youtubers cut the swearing, jacksepticeye (very sweary little irish fellow) was like "D: I literally can't stop". It's just part of the normal flow of language. My wife's little Irish 80 year old grandad swears so regularly that any normal sentence is R-rated :hehe:

OK :laugh:

True dat

:laugh2:

yeah, it's not even angry swearing or anything (mostly) it's just words, I can't help it

I hope you are also not still smoking?


:suspect:

Never come to Texas, LT... :laugh:

Niamh is right, some of us are just like this :(

Sorry Mary Whitehouse

You miss the point some of you, its not the swearing (which incidentally I do hate) its the unnatural usage to try and make the others think they are someone they are not.

The girls using the f word sounds just awful most of time its very unladylike

swearing is good, hope they continue to swear to their hearts content :cheer2:

people usually modify there language to their environment naturally. If this is a sweary house, its because thats what they do.

hahahaha **** off

that is a silly thing to say

The 19th series seems a bit late to be complaining about bad language

:joker::joker::joker::joker::joker:

How can you tell is swearing is natural or 'put on'? :suspect:

Anyway, I swear WAY to much, and can't seem to be able to control it. I even swore in a job interview once, and that was while purposely trying to obviously not do it D:

.

Bang on.

I've not noticed any more than usual this year , i hate to think how many times a day i swear ~ its a lot and i'm a very naughty girl.

You know LT, I'm starting to doubt you even live in Scotland :suspect:.

:hehe:

Fuck

You Wild Devil

I do take your point LT that sometimes swearing excessively may actually detract from a conversation. I've made a point to stop using "common use"/"lazier" verbiage, including dropping some swearing for emphasis. It can be a conversation destroyer and I do feel like it helps us to keep someone elses attention for longer for much bigger topics of conversation... points made using "emphatic" language tends to be overlooked during complex conversation, as we all tend to overuse to common platitudes/phrases in order to make the listen feel "listened to" and that we "agree completely", etc... kind of like a "f--- yeah" instead of actually illustrating to them exactly where we relate/connect with them on the other person's points... but there are social situations where it really doesn't matter at all and no need to give a f* about it.... or even, they can give all their f*s... :spin:

unfortunately there's people that can't string a sentence together without swearing first :rolleyes: . it can get boring if every word is F this and F that :sleep: .

Yeah... in TX, swearing comes naturally as we don't really mince words when it comes to certain things. However, it fits really well into everyday conversation and it doesn't feel like it is overdone... people just tend to have strong opinions here and we do have more than a few ways here to effectively express when we think someone/something is full of BS... the older, the more creative/craftier and blunt we are about it... :devil:

However, nothing is more embarrassing than someone who descends into a total tantrum full of swear words and other self-absorbed nonsense... it just looks very bad and like that person has become unhinged.

Just some random thoughts.

LT is from Scotland though. Scotland. A land where "daft c u nt" is a term of endearment. I can't believe that LT is offended by everyday swearing or he simply wouldn't be able to exist here :think:. Maybe this is why he ran away to live in a hut in the hills...

F#uk nooosss

Haven't even noticed any excessive swearing

I tend to filter it out myself... LT must be very audio/verbally-oriented... I'm sure there's a more precise definition...
