Where do you think the little motherfarking shiats get it from?

I resent that. My swearing is completely appropriate.

Skail: I resent that. My swearing is completely appropriate.

In some cases, even encouraged.

So 10% of kids are liars or Rod and Todd Flanders.

define inappropriately.

I'll confess to doing this. I hate myself for it later, but at the time of rage/passion/pain, those expletives just fly.

Strangely enough, neither of my parents ever cursed at all throughout my entire childhood.

When my daughters were young they learned that swearing is like coffee and booze. Only for grown-ups.

They are now in their 20's and two don't drink, only one drinks coffee and they all swear like sailors

I got the basics from my dad. My 8th grade math teacher taught us to curse properly.

Fingers?

There is no right or wrong, good or bad... until you think it.

teach kids proper swear usage, last thing we need is them just mixing and matching and making shiat up all willy nilly.

In other news, only 10 percent of children are locked away and out of earshot in basements, closets, and attics.

oh f&%k off!

i think you need to define inappropriately...all of my f'n swearing is appropriate. both my kids know that i get to swear whenever and wherever i want cause i'm all growed up.

not sure if they swear, well maybe the younger one, but they know they are dead if i ever hear them.

Hey subby, I can't help that the non-fat yogurt is farking incredible.

Profanity is the linguistic crutch of the inarticulate motherfarker.

You'd think the kids would be more grateful for teaching them how to swear the correct way complete with contextual examples. So, "give that to the little bastards."

My father was a sailor. I was doomed to live a life of profanity from the start.

mdbuff12: Hey subby, I can't help that the non-fat yogurt is farking incredible.

FTFY.

My dad is from Buenos Aires and thus speaks Spanish. I don't. Had no idea that he was cussing like a sailor all those years.

you're a fricken idiot and your farkin baseball team blows goats.

//jk
/scout harder

I just got back

Indubitably

They need to watch their farking language.

/fark the farking farkers.
//My Mom swore once in front of me. Still not sure which of us was more shocked. Dad never did.

I've had a filthy mouth since I was in the Army...I curse around my kid all the time. he doesn't repeat it, and he tells me I said a bad word.


I ask him when he's allowed to swear and he'll say "when I pay taxes" even though he doesn't quite know what taxes are yet.

SnatchTease: There is no right or wrong, good or bad... until you think it.

Or until your smartass 4yo starts to be able to identify hypocrisy, the lil f*cker.

Nearly 90%.....so that's like what, 75%

Schwartz!

/not too obscure

My Dad would swear on rare occasions, but my Mom never did.

Until.....

June 1994: We took a family trip to California, and while my Mom was trying to merge over in Bay Area traffic, she yelled out "shiat!".

/My brother and I couldn't stop laughing.

Okay, so that didn't work too well. I'll try this just one more time before giving up...

(ahem) shiat! shiat! boobies!

I just prefer to swear in front of other people's little shiats.

shiat, define "swear" words.
Some people think "crap" or "hell" are swear words.

Words are words. Some may be impolite, but trying to ban them is stupid and useless.
My kids know that they can't say rude things to people, but certain specific words themselves are not the problem.
I'd be a hypocrite for punishing them for saying words that I say--but not for saying them in the wrong places.
I'm trying to teach context, not "good" or "bad" words.

bikzo: f the inarticulate motherfarker.

what baseball team?

I remember Conan O'Brien tried to create a new swearword one night.

It was "crunk".

/But it was way before Lil' Jon and that style of rap became popular.

The_Sponge: My Dad would swear on rare occasions, but my Mom never did.

Those are the best kinds... the ones that you never see coming.

Spit Take: Strangely enough, neither of my parents ever cursed at all throughout my entire childhood.

Neither did mine for the most part. I remember being pretty surprised in 9th grade or so when I figured out that my parents actually did swear every now and again.

They still don't to this day even though my youngest sibling is 29. My mom still gets after us when we do.

Meh, swearing isn't the taboo it once was. Most of the words have been incorporated into normal speech for the younger generations (and even some of the older). I was raised that believe swearing the bad and should not be done, especially around adults.

Once I hit high school and starting spending a lot more time out of the house swearing because a normal part of my speech. Not around my parents too much. Then I went to college and every other sentence had some sort of expletive. And fark my parents, I can talk how I want.

I figured when i hit the work force it would be different. Of course you're don't going to be dropping fark bombs during an interview, when talking to higher ups, or customers. But I have found that even in a professional workplace it is pretty common place. I was floored in the first team meeting I had where my boss, his boss and my whole team were talking like they were in a bar.

I think most swearing has lost a lot of its true meaning and is now just used in normal speech. When i say to someone 'Fark that shiat' I don't think anyone really thinks that I am telling them to go have intercourse with a pile of feces....

I guess we need to continue to stigmatize swearing. Wouldn't be much fun if everybody did it.

People that get their back up over cursing amaze me. I cannot begin to imagine why someone would choose to be offended over something so trivial.

Hey, kid! Your mom swears...

...swears I owe her child support.

PadreScout: bikzo: f the inarticulate motherfarker.

what baseball team?

i dunno, just going off your handle there. figured you scouted for the padres or something. if it's Padres Cout, then i don't know what that means. and i'm sorry.

...and i'm in a cussing mood....and i always like to say something blows goats.

Of course you're don't not going to be dropping fark bombs during an interview, when talking to higher ups, or customers.


Wtf was I trying to type

There was always a lot swearing around the bedroom on Valentine's Day in my house.

/whips, chips, & chains

and those same parents don't go to church enough.

little johnny will begin cussing when he finds out about the shiatthole mess of a country debt his parents left him.

When my mom swears it gets ugly. She's like the mom from That 70's show, except less annoying (although just as annoying as any other mom)

The dog slowly crawls to hide in his cage when she raises her voice.

I'm going to be a mom in a couple of months and I worry that my extreme potty mouth is going to get the best of me. "motheringfarkingshiat" just so succinctly sums up how I feel most of the time.

Ah yes, teh wikipedia says there is such a baseball team as the "Padres" , I dunno. I hate baseball personally. The name is a long and complicated story. But the short version is nope - nothing to do with baseball.

Cussing... Penn said that "it's what you say not what you don't say that .. something about farking cats"

seriously, get over the words. This is 2009! A black man is president, so there's no more racism - we're all equal , stop trying to find things to cry about.

Two brothers, a four year old and a six year old, are talking. The six year old says "You know, it's time we started to swear." His brother says "OK." The six year old says, "Tell you what, from now on I'll say 'hell' and you say 'ass.'" The brother says "OK."

So the two of them are called downstairs by their mom for breakfast. She asks the six year old what he'd like for breakfast. He says, "Oh what the hell, I'll have corn flakes." Whack! He goes flying across the room. The mother turns to the four year old and grimly asks "What would you like for breakfast?" The kid answers "I don't know, but you can bet your ass it's not corn flakes!"
