I actually said *cough* "bloody" today and my grand daughter was in hysterics, I said "I suppose I have to bloody do it" and she took it literally.
She thought it was blood I was speaking about......and kept on saying it.....bloody bloody bloody........What have I done ?
Her other grand parents are religious, I'm not, so may get banned from ever seeing her again.
I am hiding up here from the politics and immigration threads......give me asylum please.....eFF them wierdos......so opinionated.
I feel safer here...........hope I haven't offended anyone.
Personally, I'd rather offend some supercillious prig ( of which there are several populating these forums) than pretend to be someone or something I'm not .

Re: Swearing and rudeness in general
My swearing was pretty much confined to the workshop where we all swore quite a bit. All males together.We never swore in front of the female staff. I never heard them use swearwords either but maybe they did amongst themselves for all I know.
Swearing has never been part of the vocabulary outside of work and none of the family swear in our house.
Seeing as how I stopped work many years ago, I hardly swear at all now. I might swear just occasionally if I'm on my own.

Re: Swearing and rudeness in general
I have noticed that swearing is almost commonplace on TV now and I’m not very keen on it.Obviously Chef Gordon Ramsay started it but the other night I switched on The Hotel Inspector and Alexis Forte’s opening words when she arrrived at a rundown hotel was “f***ing hell”. there was no need for that and she repeated it a few times during the programme.

We all thought it was hugely funny. So did he in the end but he couldn't stop a couple of immediate swearwords coming out.

I agree with your Flowerpower, it's common place on telly now. And as for Gordon Ramsay, I can't stand the foul-mouthed old git.
I think he wanted to get noticed or shock originally, all publicity for him, but it's mostly all he's known for now.
There is a big difference to me on whether for example, you stub your toe or shut your fingers in the car door or whatever, and you let out a choice word or two, than swearing continually in every sentence for no reason whatsoever.
THAT is what I find unacceptable.
