oops, i said the f-word!

sandy and i were talking about swearing on the way to lunch today. she said “fucking” in an unrelated topic and quickly asked me if i swore. i said “fuck yeah!” that got us talking about how some people find profanity very offensive.
personally, i don’t find the occasional colourful expletive at all offensive or even in bad taste. there is a limit though, after too many “fuck”s or “shit”s you just sound ignorant and uneducated. i actually know people who say fuck in every sentence. i’ve noticed myself wincing when they talk to me.
there are also very well-defined times and places you shouldn’t be spewing out the four-letter-nasties: job interviews, grandma’s house, church, blind dates, etc. alternatively, you’re almost expected to profane at sporting events, in bars, when you’re completely overcome and can’t begin string together coherent sentences.
there’s nothing more hilarious then hearing someone you don’t consider a “potty mouth” uttering some blue language. you do this vaudville double-take and wonder to yourself if you actually heard them correctly, not daring to ask or even show any shock just in case they didn’t.
the point i’m trying to make is… fuck you if you don’t like my using four-letter words. it’s my goddamn blog, and my bloody mouth and i’ll spew whatever the hell i want to. *grin*
