swearing in every sentence without thinking about your audience.

Why can't people just control their tongues a bit? The f word has its part to play, and I have used it myself many times, but three times in every sentence? It's horrible.

 

I ******* know right? ******* atrocious what ******* filth comes the **** out of some ******* mouth in this ******* day and ******* age. Weren't raised ******* right by their ******* parents is the ******* problem.

 

Rarely.

Just how many times does one hit one's thumb with a hammer?

 

That's the kind of thing I mean.

 

Too f*cking right!

 

Fuc* and like seem to make up most of young europeans' repertoire when using english as a lingua franca. Depressing.

 

It is a word remarkably quickly acquired by almost every EAL kid I ever taught.

 

My rule of thumb has always been Never Swear in Foreign.

 

I taught a child with EAL and learning difficulties who had what was described as a speech delay - she was generally silent. Until we had a visit from a local policeman who put his helmet on her head. F*** o** were the first words I heard her shout.

 

I heard the same from shop lifters who claimed not to speak English until they were held in a secure room awaiting the arrival of the local police.

 

OP obviously does not live either side of the Mersey basin!

 

I can eff and jeff with the fishiest fishwives but I find the continual f-wording of one of the Gogglebox family members very jarring. He can't string 3 words together without one of them being f---.

Edit: Malone, pere.

 

I really don't think I have that F***** problem - no sir F****** siree
