Anthony where do you live? Over here I can't imagine something like that ever happening. If I found myself in the same situation, what you said would seem like the most natural thing (if not something fiercer). Most women around here would be completely indifferent or think "rest assured, I have heard the word"..... if I were that women in your scenario I'd drop my purse or something and scream "FUCK"! to give you a hand.

oh. In case it wasn't clear, I'm not a woman.

You punk, Anthony. Resorting to violent language. Haven't you learned anything by watching "Quincy"?

I find the whole thing adorable.

I just had an old lady with a cane call me a "Fucking bastard". Bit out of order, since all I did was knock her over, and it WAS an accident. Sort of.

Feminism killed any of that "theres a lady present" shite didnt it?

― Ronan, Sunday, 9 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

No, it just switched its focus. Now people say, "There's a Ronan present." We wish to protect your young ears from corruption.

That's the nicest thing anyone has ever done for me.

― Ronan, Sunday, 9 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

what, you've never been fucked in the ear before?

― jess, Sunday, 9 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I can't hear you.

― Ronan, Sunday, 9 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

PERVERTS. Never darken my doorway again.

― Ned Raggett, Sunday, 9 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Jess did it.

this weekend i got a few looks to suggest 'there are children present, did you really have to say fuck?', but no one actually confronted me about my language. i can't believe the amount i swear these days, and i often find myself putting expletives in sentences that just don't benefit from them. i love swearing though, partly because it emphasizes particular points in a statement, but mostly because in terms of playing with language it is bloody good fun! (see 'rogers profanisaurus')

do people agree with the outlook that if you swear too much it looses it's meaning or effectiveness? i remember a soldier remarking on the operational capability of his rifle with the eloquent turn of phrase "fuck, the fucking fucker's fucked!"

well i knew what he meant.

that's hilarious anthony.

I feel really embarassed and juvenile whenever I swear in public, no matter who's around but especially in front of kids. Rotten little fuckers, aren't they?
