I wish I didn't, but I worked in retail for years, and a misplaced fuck will really annoy customers. :/ <br /><br />So, you can genuinely hear me say things like "oh freaking butter crumb frosting on toast with jam and seasonings! licking beast! dump water spigot!"<br /><br />Yeah, I know it makes no sense, but I found that the expletive flying out of the mouth phenomenon was such, for me, that as long as I was having words fly out of my mouth I was happy.<br /><br />Casually saying swear words, on the other hand? Oh yeah. I've had to replace the casual "what the fuck?" with the more stupid "what the eff?"<br /><br />That's okay, though.Polly Chromehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01468032782447695823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2621701638860930715.post-55275499167785431782010-08-23T17:47:57.643-04:002010-08-23T17:47:57.643-04:00A friend of mine once taught his son that there ar...A friend of mine once taught his son that there are no bad words, just overly sensitive people. :P<br /><br />My students in Japan knew cock because it was what they all did in the kitchen.Photogfroghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10557848814538009908noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2621701638860930715.post-11029113949904993502010-08-23T17:27:41.280-04:002010-08-23T17:27:41.280-04:00This post is very apropos - Grant and I were just ...This post is very apropos - Grant and I were just talking about this last night. What is really wrong with swearing? Obviously you don't want your kid to call you an a**hole or something equally rude, but in the end swear words are just words. They don't really have a meaning other than what you give them. If I found out my kid started swearing like a sailor, of course I'd talk to him about it and ask him to cut it down. There's a "right" time and a wrong time to use those words. (Obviously I'm talking about older kids here, not toddlers). :)Chelseahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10445856131411054309noreply@blogger.com
