People who constantly curse

Sometimes it isn’t appropriate enough.

There's cursing and there's cursing. Also swearing, profanity, expletives, bad language, obscenities, foul mouths, and blasphemy.

I think a lot of Irish people swear unconsciously - I used to be one of them.

Until I started working with more people from other countries and noticed very quickly that they don't do it. And are a bit shocked when the Irish do! So I made a conscious effort to try and retrain myself and clean it up a bit. Now, I'm no angel, and do still swear a bit, but not anything like I used to. But it took a conscious effort on my part.

I happened to catch an episode of "Kin" on TV the other night, and the level of the swearing in it was really awful. But I have encountered people who do talk like that. I turned it off, as I kept flinching at the cursing. It really does sound horrible.

Reminds me of those smokers who would complain if their children / relatives starting smoking. Dickheads.

Kurwa.

I was brought up to believe that cursing is gutter language, only used by those who were uneducated in good manners. In fact I actually reached well into my 60's before I even heard some of the words many are referring to here. I once worked with someone who cursed all the time, and she didn't seem to have many other words to create a whole sentence. I personally don't mind if anyone uses the odd swear word in my presence but I do object to being blasted with nothing else except swearing. Throughout my life the men in my family never cursed in front of women. I find now that men and women of all ages will swear everywhere and anywhere. If parents prevent their children from cursing, but curse themselves, this is sending conflicting messages. It's not appropriate all the time.

I hate the C word with a passion and never use it. Geebag, however, is one of the best, most descriptive insults ever.

I actually don't find Irish people are big users of the C bomb. That person's American boss lady has clearly never spent any time with Australians if she thinks we use it a lot.

It’s not meant to be endearing or intelligent it’s just part of our vernacular. We are not the only country who curses.

Back when I was living in France, working in the office at a large worldwide multinational intergovernmental organisation and ‘putain’ and ‘merde’ were commonly expressed during the working day.

One of the most guilty was an approximately 27 year old female, very attractive, intelligent, kind, thoughtful , sound as fûck, a bit dramatic, impeccably dressed and very expressive…she was heard exclaiming at times… “ ohh mon dieu, putain de merde….! “…compared to most others she ..well she had the mouth of a sailor, yet a heart of gold… she was brilliant. 😅

my parents hate cursing, but I think are a little conditioned now by its prevalence in modern society…..it just wasn’t the done thing at home growing up in good catholic Ireland in the 50’s/60’s… certainly not ‘fúck’ anyway….

None of the stuff I am reading here is Cursing. It is just Bad Language.

Cúnt can even be used as a verb. Here we have Nick Love and Danny Dyer addressing, with lots of swearing, criticism of their film Outlaw. At 3:20 we learn that "Taxi Driver got Cúnted" 😁

You misinterpreted my post. It was not about anyone being better than anyone else. It was about good manners. I wasn't brought up in a wealthy, university educated family, quite the opposite, but we were taught good manners which are available to everyone if they chose it. Obviously you do not. I accept we live in different worlds.

Why is it good manners to not curse specifically around women ?

Are they fragile little petals who's brains will explode or something.

You "were brought up to believe cursing was gutter language" so I call bullsht on ye not thinking ye were better than everyone else. You talk of people "uneducated in good manners". Maybe stop calling good and bad manners but instead different manners. Many people who curse are very mannerly people.
