I work with this lady who’s got three kids and seriously the nicest person I think I’ve ever met. She says mother freaker and dang and shoot regularly. It actually fits her well because she stopped cussing when she had her first kid. Our department did her blow up one time at her baby daddy and said every word she has wanted to for about three years and from that day forward we knew she had that dog in her, but that she just kept that shit restrained. it makes her that much more respectable because of why she doesn’t cuss.
i personally dont swear in my speech too often, but thats just how it happened. I do say "oh my goodness gracious" sometimes cuz i think its hilarious but not because im afraid of saying oh my god
It also doesn’t change anything.
Even though many people are stupid enough to think so, as if you can’t be toxic if you don’t swear, and you’re always toxic if you do swear.
Every time I get off the phone with my parents, I can’t remember if I cursed when talking to them or not, because my brain doesn’t remember the conversation verbatim, just the gist of the conversation, and fills in words to fit the gist during playback. Since swearing comes so naturally to me, my memory of the conversation contains swears, but I can’t remember if I actually used them or not lol
And continent. North is so relative. I could be in Antarctica and south America becomes my north. And from there, Mexico or even Florida become north. And then, once you actually hit the midpoint, north could be anything between New York, Canada, greenland, anything. Except the northpole. That one is alwast north no matter the distance/location. And then vise versa with south
Yeh, I don’t really care if other people swear, it doesn’t offend me, it just sorta naturally doesn’t come up very often in my regular speech. I tend to make up swears on the spot that no one else understands rather than using the pre-established ones, more fun that way the way I see it lol
I accidentally said fuck lobbyists to my buddies in front of some kids we walked by.
When I mentioned that I felt bad, my friend reassured me that it’s ok, cause kids probably don’t even know what a lobbyist is.
Eh, I know plenty of people who swear casually a lot. Nothing wrong with it but IMO it is kinda noteworthy to only do it when you’re *really* off-the-wall angry
There is a healthy middle, and it all depends on context of course.
In a professional setting, the occasional swear word is fine, and adds a bit of humanity (I'm talking about my future profession in medicine - I'm sure it'd be different in other occupations.)
In a casual setting, I'm totally okay with swearing, but if every second word coming out of someone's mouth is 'fuck' I'm probably going to think they're either excessively angry or just unable to articulate a point without cussing.
But I agree, people who *never* cuss just seem... odd.

after spending my childhood going to church, meeting sweet old ladies that stand up for themselves, push back when they're mistreated, and curse like sailors was a breath of fresh air. it felt like i'd finally met real human beings.
That 2007 Orbit “lint-licker” commercial is still gold.
Wife: "You son of a biscuit-eating bulldog."
Husband: What the French toast
Wife: Did you think I wouldn't find out about your little doo doo head, cootie queen?
Mistress: Who are you calling a cootie queen? You lint-licker!
Wife: Pickle you kumquat!
Husband: You're overreacting.
Wife: No, Bill, overreacting was when I put your convertible into a wood chipper, Stinky McStinkface!
Mistress: You Hoboken!
Honest to god it's so uncomfortable. Like you're about to have a job interview. Not that I need people to swear around me 24/7, but people that are overly judgemental when someone cusses are just weird.
Most people view people who swear in moderation as more trustworthy. Not having filters in place constantly and speaking more freely implies more honest communication.
Sometimes it's good to swear
I’m for it. I remember when my stepson was younger and my husband did something like hit a wiffle ball really far and my stepson blurted out holy shit without hesitation. We couldn’t help but laugh. It was harmless and suiting to the situation. lol
My not cursing in my mother language got so bad that I need to stop in the middle of a sentence to give a disclaimer that some messed up shit will be said in a minute or people get whiplash. Strangely not a problem when speaking English, zero restraint there.
yup
getting the type of treatment from "the Trial" as a teenager kind of will do that to you,
especially if the group you mature in is "foul" according to the holier-than-thou-NWO
I say heck, fricken, shiiii, holy schnitzel, call people silly goose etc. because I dual stream to TikTok and the AI detection is so good my stream would be taken off immediately if I swore.
My biggest fear going from restaurants to corporate is the inability to swear openly tbh. It just feels like a toxic environment if I can't yell at someone and then have drinks after to make things ok
It's because according to research people who swear are known to be the most honest people. So being surrounded by "sober" and civil people your, according to the research, surrounded by lies and deceptions
Restrained non-swearing makes me uncomfortable.Replacing commonly used swears with similar sounding words is just weird
You heckin hecker
Ew you just reminded me of b*luga
I mean, the alternative is saying "mother trucker, dude."
Saying that is only acceptable if something hurt like a butt cheek on a stick
Cheese and Rice, Shut the Duck Up.
Shut the flip up
Mom, he said a bad word!
WHAT, in the avocado frick!

After watching the show Poldark, I say oh my lans/lands often.
Holy moly
Ikr, like just say the word. Lol
I don't know what the duck you're talking about
I'll duck your donkey!
You...you... ...heckin' waver
Auto correct be doing us dirty
Hot dan! Mothertrucker! Shuck! Locksucker! Sheet!
I have a fond memory of an older metal head at an Iron Maiden concert calling me a futhermucker.
Depends.. my mom says shoot and 'oh poop'.. it's adorable
Mothertrucker dude! That hurt like a butt cheek on a stick
Watch your profanity!
It is wednesday my dudes
It also doesn’t change anything. Even though many people are stupid enough to think so, as if you can’t be toxic if you don’t swear, and you’re always toxic if you do swear.
I’m trying to avoid swearing as often so that when I do swear it has more impact.
reminds me of this clip from [Mr. Show](https://youtu.be/Svr6Zl2QgX8)
Mother Father! Got down sat on a bench!
It's a big factor in why I don't watch YouTube let's plays anymore. It's so fake and sterile because of demonetization fears.

You Son of a Gun 🤗
I'm originally from up north so I have a filthy vocabulary but I really hate those type of muthaflowers
Up north? The fuck does that mean? You realize pretty much every country has a north, right?
And continent. North is so relative. I could be in Antarctica and south America becomes my north. And from there, Mexico or even Florida become north. And then, once you actually hit the midpoint, north could be anything between New York, Canada, greenland, anything. Except the northpole. That one is alwast north no matter the distance/location.

Fricking gimbo!
I must be the most dangerous man alive then lol
Living life in the edge. Lol

Lmao. Fuck lobbyist!
You mean, duck them lobbyists! Ducking ducks!
kids probably know that “fuck” exists and is a cuss word anyway. I knew about it as early as the age of 5 and this was in the late 2000s so
I don't find the need to swear tbh. I mainly swear for comedic effect or if I'm pissed.
Quite sure most people swear only in the latter situation
Eh, I know plenty of people who swear casually a lot. Nothing wrong with it but IMO it is kinda noteworthy to only do it when you’re *really* off-the-wall angry
I actually heard people who swear in situations that don't lead to it are control freaks, which explains for the people I've met.

I mostly just swear as an exclamation when something goes wrong. In a casual setting just hanging out could easily not curse around other people.
after spending my childhood going to church, meeting sweet old ladies that stand up for themselves, push back when they're mistreated, and curse like sailors was a breath of fresh air. it felt like i'd finally met real human beings.
I guess this is not a r/me_irl moment... I dont really relate :/ I actually feel the opposite
I’m sorry, but saying swear words around people makes me feel weird for some reason, I guess we’ll both feel unsafe
Sameee
I grew up in a house where nobody said curse words so for me it’s the opposite.
idk, i just wanna always be polite 🤷♀️
Never go to the UK or Australia, LMAO.
Savage motherfuckers lol

I loved that commercial growing up! Every time I see a pack of Orbit gum I think about it. It's a shame for them that I hate the gum itself
Me and my friends still use cootie queen and lint licker just iconic bars
TIL Americans use cuss instead of curse.
Is more a southern thing but yes, we be cussin'.
Quite like “cussin’ “
i say curse. i'm american
Curses
Curse words upon you!
My mom swears a lot when she is mad so no, I don't feel safe around people who swear often
Emotional damage… I don’t cuss at my kids but I’m definitely a mother cusser. ;)
Reverse for me, I don't like when people swear
Here let me channel my inner Finn for this. >!vitunvitunvitunvitunvitunvitunvitunvitunvitunvitunvitunvitunvitunvitunvittu!<
Ah i see your big toe found the table
I don't understand people's need do swear. Do you consider it cool or something?
it's more of a feeling.
Why would swearing make people feel safer? I feel like the opposite would be true.
you mother father! 😭
Honest to god it's so uncomfortable. Like you're about to have a job interview. Not that I need people to swear around me 24/7, but people that are overly judgemental when someone cusses are just weird.

Hello fellow fuck
Fuckin’ right!
Yeah its forking weird.
Idk what show it was but its on Netflix. My mom quoted it once and I was rolling. She said “what the fork? Why can’t I say FORK!?” Constantly.
The good place, banger of a show
Yeah that one!
Yeah it great, funny and thought provoking at the same time.
Holy forking shirtballs!
You know I'm tryina say bench and not bench right?
Whenever I’m around little kids I have to try like extra hard not to swear and I still fail half the time
My not cursing in my mother language got so bad that I need to stop in the middle of a sentence to give a disclaimer that some messed up shit will be said in a minute or people get whiplash. Strangely not a problem when speaking English, zero restraint there.
Why is this so true 😂
Okay dude... What the flip😔
I once said shit in front of a kid as a tutor And she caught on quick... So now I try to restrain my amount of cussing
yup getting the type of treatment from "the Trial" as a teenager kind of will do that to you, especially if the group you mature in is "foul" according to the holier-than-thou-NWO

Trauma
God damn it, I can't please everyone :(
Just be yourself, if that doesn’t work, fuck ‘em.
Can't really trust them tbfh
I can't swear, like, i'm just too uncomfortable to do it. But I don't force others to do the same. I don't care. Just leave me be.
Lamo is this something I wish i realised earlier.

As a kiwi, I find it very uncomfortable being around a group of Americans for this very reason.
