Girls who swear

Jesus Christ you're hard work!

Your sarky tone didnt sit well with me. I'm not "oh so liberal". I swear, a lot. I dont act like a fishwife and scream down the street. I dont swear in front of my nieces or nephews or any of my friends kids as i dont believe in it BUT i wouldnt give out to someone for doing it. I mean you cant wrap them in cotton wool all their lives.

If i had a kid i wouldnt take offence of someone swearing. There are a lot worse things out there to get your knickers in a knot over.

I swear a fair amount myself, but not in front of kids, just like you said there. The sarky tone I was using wasn't directed at people who censor themselves for the benefit of others (I guess in your case, your brothers or sisters, or possibly your nieces or nephews if you don't want them to hear swearing), it was directed at the people who say 'oh, it's just using the language, I'll use it however I want and in front of whoever I want'.

For example, I've noticed recently that many people use the word 'rape' as a throw-away term for something bad, 'we got raped last night in football' etc. That word has a meaning, and a horrendous one at that. Maybe it's naive of me, but I just don't find that to be appropriate language.

And I know I can't wrap her in cotton wool all her life, and I certainly don't, but there are some things I'd rather she hear/experience at an older age. My mate often jokes about his brother and sister-in-law who constantly swear in front of their kids, one of whom told his nana to 'f*ck off, I don't want that' at the age of 2.

And yes, I am hard work

No.

I swear almost constantly, why should they not be allowed?

That said, most of my female (and male for that matter) friends don't tend to swear that much.

But one of them used to swear at least once per sentence and it never bothered me. She gave it up for lent though and has managed to stay off it. But that was due to the fact that she was afraid she'd do it in front of a patient and not because she felt she swore too much.

What's inapropriate about it?
Is it only inapropriate if it's a hot chick?
I ask this because you deemed it necessary to mention that the girl in question was good looking. You even added the tag word "pretty"
Would you have started this thread if she wasn't good looking?

Probably not, no.
Personally, I think when any girl talks about pretty explicit stuff using swearwords, in a public place, she does make a pretty bad impression. It's just all the more unfortunate/ unexpected when she's quite pretty.

Out of curiosity OP, what age are you? Are you religious or brought up in a strict family?

Ok, 23. Church is just for Christmas. Family, strict no... manners, absolutely. I have all sisters, so believe me I'm not a woman hater, I get on great with girls.

Guys feel the need to use expletives to register anger or surprise or misfortune with each other, it's a shortcoming maybe, but it's how we often communicate and it's become a trait more aligned to the male.
Obviously guys using expletives at full volume anywhere public like the steret or on a pitch in just as rude, however; it's bad manners.

But with girls, there is something of a lower threshold I guess. Who wants to bring a girl home who is going to desribe in every few sentences how she was "off her gee" last night or "effing bolloxed"??

I'm not trying to be sexist, nor am I trying to be politically correct about it. In every facet of life, men expect different things of women than they do of themselves and women expect different things of men than they do of themselves - just have a look at some of the girls' comments in the metrosexual/ hair thread.

Girls, would you feel a little bit less attracted to a guy if he was borrowing your eyeliner and your skinny jeans?

The fact is, men (not always, but largely) admire feminine qualities in a woman, and women (not always, but largely) prefer men to be more masculine than themselves.
Women swearing makes them that bit less feminine I guess, and takes away from their appeal.

I don't mind the odd profane exclamation, like in a genuine emergency, but does anyone else find girls who swear a bit vulgar? Growing up I didn't know any girls who swore, but they seem to be everywhere now.

I walked by a really pretty girl in Trinity this evening, she was on the phone and seemed to be talking casually about a night out after exams, except she was swearing like a sailor - espressions that my mates and I wouldn't even use.

It's not that I think guys should swear a lot, I think anybody swearing loudly in public is rude... but somehow it's just far worse when it's a girl.

What do girls think of this?
Do any other guys find it really, really unattractive?

In case anyone here missed the point of this troll, i've highlighted it in bold.

stop being such a pussy and tell us exactly what expressions she was using ?

how can people comment properly if they dont know the details ?

Porkpie

Yes, for flip's sake, do elaborate please

I have to agree with the OP, Women swearing is a major turn off.
I don't know about any of you guys but I think swearing takes away from a womans "delicate" charm as the fairer sex.

What are you on about? The point is it was in the centre of town.

I believe the exact phrases used were "I was shítting my f*cking load", "I have never been so bolloxed" she might have added "lad" to that.

It just got me thinking about girls in general and the use of foul language.

xcarriex

Ah you should pop to a ladies loo in most night clubs on a night out, i have heard so pretty funnily explicit phrases, none as funny as 2 girls discussing there mate who was presumably been v promiscious with some young chap, apparently she was practically,

"Rubbing her rat in his face"


Lets just say i was glad i was on the toilet haha, not pleseant languge, i do enjoy been the more delicate of the sexes!

No the point is to make people think trinity students are uptight and self-righteous .

In all fcukin fairness who gives a fcuk how many fcukin swear words a fcukin girl comes out with no matter how fcukin hot she is. Shes entitled to her fcukin free speech just like the fcukin rest of us.Fcuk fcukitty fcuk fcuk fcuk

Mr Benevolent

What's all this crap about swearing like a sailor or a fishwife? Does the sea make people swear more? Wait a second, I live near the sea. That explains everything!

OP, grow up. Remove the shackles of 1950's life that were thrust upon you at some point in the last 23 years. Women swearing is sexy. Very sexy.

This thread's tags:

bollox, fúck, girl, phone, pretty, stop, swearing

For the "I'm oh so liberal, I'll swear wherever I want, and everyone should be allowed to curse" people in this thread...

I do take offense to people swearing loudly and regularly in public; perhaps if you had a 7 year old daughter (or any young children) you might feel the same way. They listen to everything, and question words they don't understand.

That is, unless you find a 7 year old using phrases like 'fucking cunt' charming or something... But then again, you are oh so liberal!

First off, I didn't quote it, but I agree completely with you point about rape.
I know the terms you mean. Face rape, eyeball rape and so forth.
It's normally used here in that context by 16 year olds discovering 4chan for the first time or 30 year olds who don't have lives.

So I was walking down the road the other day and generic skanger mother and friend are trying to get a toddler to curse.*
I was a bit disgusted, but didn't say anything. None of my business and all that.

So I thought about it later and I then wondered why I was disgusted.
They were trying to get her to say fúck.
I refer you back to my previous post in this thread regarding that word.
We all had our dictionarys in primary school and that was the first word we looked up. Followed by sex (which was blacked out by a girl in my class in her Irish/English dictionary (yes, HD, I remember back that far)).

Here's the thing.
You tell a child not to put a fork in the socket. What's the first thing they do when you're not around?**

So we have a list of words which are deemed unacceptable.
Why are they deemed unacceptable.
Nobody has ever been able to give me a completely valid reason for not saying these words.

People of AH. Can you give me a reason not to use them?
A good reason. Not a prudish 19th century value passed down from your ancestors. A really good reason not to use these descriptive words.

What's the difference between calling someone a cúntbag or a dickhead?
Saying that someone is a complete and utter shít head or a complete and utter tosser?

Work with me here. Give me some valid reasons not to use these words.

Red_Marauder wrote: »

So it's just hot chicks then.
Fair enough. Each to their own and all that. I'm not going to judge you.
The users of AH will, but I wont.
Well, maybe a little.

Personally, I think when any girl talks about pretty explicit stuff using swearwords, in a public place, she does make a pretty bad impression. It's just all the more unfortunate/ unexpected when she's quite pretty.

I don't even know why I'm entertaining this complete and utter crap (why can't I say bollox instead of crap?), but go ahead and tell me why it's more unfortunate when it's a good looking woman.



*It happened closer to home, but I have to be careful.
**I never stuck a fork in a socket, but I did stick my finger in a light socket. Blew me off the chair and I was left with two little circles on my finger. I think I was 5 or something.

I dated this amazing woman back in the early 90s who was absolutely brilliant in every sense of the word.

She was warm and outgoing, incredibly talented and athletic, but she swore like a drunken sailor.

This made it very awkward when being around my clean-cut, middle class American family. So much to the point that we ended up splitting up over it.

Somedays I sit around and think about 'what could have been' and think about all of the good times that we had.

<<sigh>>

God, I miss that dirty cocksucker.

Are they descriptive? There's nothing descriptive about "I was f* going to the f* shop and I bought a f* bar" etc.
As for the more "colourful" language, I'd call it descriptive/useful in the same way a car crash is fascinating.
They also start losing any effect when overused, and become pointless, dull, yet still unpleasant on the ear. They don't convey a particular message anymore and turn into a nasty habit that you'll tolerate listening to, but could really do without. They can often be a substitute for complete ineloquence in everyday conversations, ime.

Christ I feel like I've just swallowed a dictionary here :rolleyes:

Oh and talking dirty is a whole other ballgame

What have you got against sailors? How do you know they swear so much? Frankly, your'e sailor bashing is disturbing.
