Coming from Ireland to Canada and hearing grown men say "I gotta go pee!" was eyebrow raising. Just say you need a piss dude.

It means the same thing when you say it. Having different letters there is not going to mean the difference between Heaven and Hell.

The worst is when people were using "frak" for a few years when the Battlestar Galactica reboot was popular.

Speaking of sci-fi shows, I always had a giggle when the characters in Firefly would swear in Chinese.

At least, I assumed they were swearing by the context and affect. I honestly have no clue if they were actual swear words.

I had to curb the swearing for the kid's sake. I still do swear, but not as often. The problem i find is that i also inadvertently replace swear words when the kid isnt around, saying things like ah poop, or frick, when it's totally unnecessary. If that makes me look dumb then so be it, better than my toddler belting out #### 9000 times in a row. I don't know how but they have an innate ability to identify a word that they're not supposed to say and they will use that.

It isn't often I'll swear in a professional setting, but it really does depend on the company you're in at the time.

Buddy you work with going for a candid chat? "Your manager sounds like he needs to pull his f--kin' head out of his ass."
Tightly knit dev. team encounters an issue that is going to cause some unforeseen difficulty in the current sprint? "Ah sh-t, well that sucks."
1:1 with skip level and mentions his kid is sick in passing? "Ah crap, well that's unfortunate."

Know. Your. Audience.

As for in a casual setting, I swear occasionally. Usually it's to emphasize something. "I don't know what the f--k is going on" = What's going on is really out of the ordinary and as such it is leaving me bewildered.

Then you can get creative with it too. "Horsec-ckery" or "f-ckery" as stand-ins for screwing around are favorites.

Swearing is -- in my opinion -- part of a healthy, diverse vocabulary.

Here's what I don't get: he says friggin', he says frickin'... 'I wasn't brought up to swear' ... exactly what word do people like that think those words are used in service of?

Just say f--k, you f--king f--kers.

It's weird how when I'm around my nephew I never swear, soon as I get around my friends or I'm at work I swear like a sailor. My brain just knows when it's okay and when it's not

WhiteTiger · 01-28-2021, 02:13 PM

I don't tend to watch my language in general. But I'm not allowed to swear at work, which ####ing sucks.

Toddlers swearing is the best.

Swearing around my kids is going to happen. Sorry not so sorry. My heart grew a little bit when my 2 year old was laying waste to his train set (because he was frustrated) and was stomping and shouting for #### sake. It was contextually perfect. It felt like a real win for parenthood.

Name something funnier than a 3 year old dropping a C-bomb. Especially if it's not your kid.

I feel like this is a fairly recent phenomenon, but it could just be my own experience.

I never heard anyone talk about needing to pee until I was in maybe my last year of high school around the turn of the century. Before that - and especially among guys - you had to either take a piss or a leak. Those were your options. Pee was a word for only small children to use.

Of course, now that I'm around children with one of my own, I'm happy with the current state of things.

My buddy -- the one from my above example -- usually calls to chat once in a while and we end up getting into talking about job and career ongoings, as I used to be his team lead at my old company. So yesterday he calls me while driving. Of course, I talk like the 'candid chat' example: "management still a bunch of f--kin' imbeciles eh?" THEN he tells me his kid is in the car.

Dude. You know better, announce the presence of others in the car at the start of the call.

Isn't it usually women that say "gotta go pee"? I have not heard guys saying it... ever.

Speaking of toddlers and c-words....my daughter (around 3/4 at the time) was in that phase where she had issues with the letter S and would leave it out of any word. One summer, we were walking along the Riverwalk on a busy day, and she saw a woman on a Lime roll by for the first time. She yelled out excitedly "Daddy, look at that cooter!"

I assume you proceeded directly to Village Ice Cream

Double scoop day.

Forrest Gump said he's gotta pee.

In Cantonese, the worst thing you can call a woman is not bitch. That word in that language is more a description of a woman who is crass (ie: Bitchy in English).

The worst you can call a woman is literally as "Pork Chop". This presumably because it has an association with over weight, low class and dirty animal connotations all at once.
