Faaaaaark!

betty

 

I bet she teaches that to the kiddies in her class

Kev

 

I am going to have to check out who is teaching my grandkids

 

I thought that we were talking about the lovely Betty, not Graham Kennedy.
However, I am an old gaseous excreter and may be easily confused.

What a ripper eh?
I loved Elias' leap into action and then run three paces and trip over
his own feet again!!
All three races were beauties! (I did shit in the tipping comp though)

 

Do not either! Inappropriate classroom language is a bit of a sore point at
the moment, actually, as a certain class of large, supposedly adult young
'men' tests the boundaries. They WILL be sorry.

What a nail-biter of a race though! I think I held my breath for about the
last two laps!

With you as their grandad, George, I'm sure they've heard it all before.

betty

 

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yer a softy.

Beer, wench!

Kev

 

Oi !!
I don't let expletives go in front of my children or grandchildren thank you
very much

 

Well there you go then. And I, as a professional, am the same with the
kiddies in my classes.

I've heard some say school is the problem. Or more accurately that
young men don't spend time being socialised by much older men anymore
so the "don't swear in front of women" isn't being passed on by people
they want to emulate.

Which can cause them problems at work in a white collar job, as
learning to stop casual swearing can be a problem!

Zebee

 

**** yeah.

Kev

 

Which is why I would be hopeless as a teacher. I have a potty mouth
and can't stand trying to explain things to people who can't keep up
with me. Training people in my industry who are new to the job just
frustrates me. Respect to people who can.

Kev

 

I sympathise with the sentiment. However, my observations are that the
modern young woman's discourse is lucid, forthright and may well be
punctuated by some hard swearing. And my further observations are that this
is not necessarily restricted to younger women.

Where does that leave us?

By the way, I am frequently offended by the use of "excessive" (there is a
nice subjective term for you) bad language, and have lodged objections when
I find it on moderated websites.

From what I see that swearing problem comes down to a couple of things
including the home environ and a simple lack of respect , personally I
have no problem not cussing in public although once I was wired differently

Most manage it , some get a quick induction on not doing so and suffer
whilst learning

 

This is something I was very conscious of when I switched from blue-collar
to white-collar work. I couldn't really stop swearing so I just "swore"
using less offensive words.
**** Shit **** became Wee Poo Bum, Bullshit became Fishpiss, etc.
Sometimes I'd even catch myself saying things like "Rude in-and-out Word".

Trouble was I tended to carry it out of the office and my friends thought it
was hilarious. My girlfriend used to hang shit on me by saying "poo bum and
eat cabbage!")

 

It depends on the work environment though. I am now working in a very
white collar environment where I seem to be the token male and these
girls have as much a potty mouth as me. Doesn't fuss me, they do their
job well and if they want to say "****" I couldn't give a F***

Or, if you come from Glasgow, or surrounding area.
