Cursing as the primary language

[tmleadr03]

Funny story on swearing:
I too can have the tongue of a sailor. When my first was born my wife swore up and down that the first time he cussed I would be the one to eat the soap.
We are driving to of all places my mom and dads for Thanksgiving. Little one is in the back seat, he is about 18 months and quite as a church mouse, we thought he was asleep. The Mrs and I are talking about something and the wife says "Fuck it".
We continue driving and about 15 minutes later we hear this little falsetto voice in sing song fashion from the back seat "Fuuuuckit, fuuuuckit, fuuuuckit fuuuuckit".
I had to pull over I was laughing so hard I was almost crying and couldnt see. I looked at the wife and asked her "who is eating the soap when we get to my parents?"
Then we had to explain to Grandma and Grandpa "If you happen to hear...."

Outta the mouth of babes...

I had a automotive teacher who told this story.

He was out driving somewhere with his daughter in the back seat. With her back there he would sometimes forget she was even there since she would fall asleep on the drive and his road rage would kick in. He really did his best not to cuss around his daughter.

Well, his daughter is in the back really quite and this biker (think 21 speed) is taking up the whole lane and keeping him at about 10 mph on a 45 mph road. Finally he gets his chance to pass and as he does rolls down his window and yells at the biker that he is an asshole. Gets where he is going and realizes his daughter was in the back seat, but thinks oh she was asleep. Not to worry.

Fast forward a few weeks and mom is asking the daughter what she wants for Christmas. Up until now it has been a bicycle. Well, the daughter is headging and saying she really isn't as interested in a bicycle anymore. The mom asks why.
Daughter "I don't want to be an asshole".

My teacher then had to have a conversation with his wife on why his daughter thought bicycle riders were assholes.

I thought it was caused by CO drivers?

That is funny, one of the most upsetting things I think is driving down I25 when some moron is doing 62 MPH along side another moron that is doing the same exact speed and no one in front of the both of them for miles.

Brings to mind a little song

Totally agree. I was raised in a no swearing household, so never developed the heavy habit. It probably doesn't matter to most, but the more f-words and s-words, etc, that you use in a sentence or paragraph, the more I tune you out. I soon start counting your swearwords instead of listening to what you're saying. Just like someone who says "youknow" constantly. Control your language and you just sound better and of course- you're more "listenable" (pretty sure that's not a word).

It just gets old and detracting to have to filter through the f-bombs of some people to get to the bottom of what they are saying.

I get upset with myself for saying "you know" and "like" too much when I speak. I'm much more well spoken in print than I am on the phone.

I fix trucks and also have occupational turtles.. and sometimes sweet talking them does not work you have to get a bit western with them.

ETA meant Tourette's of course.

You didn't seem to swear at all yesterday, and I was even wondering if I was offending you at one point. The only time I heard you come close to swearing was when you had to don an alternate personality in order to get a response over the radio.

HAHA i was filtering hard as I did not know how you felt about it but still dropped a couple F bombs during antenna swaps

I'm guilty, hate the fact I use profanity as I do, catch myself regretting the behavior professionally more often than not. I work on it periodically and have flashes of improvement but in general, "I'm one of the low-enders down in the mud."

Perhaps you should look a profession other than a church leader.
