Do You Have A Potty Mouth?

[Eric Demory]

If you're idols are George Carlin and Jim Norton, you might be a potty mouth.

 

[TB]

What would happen if I start the swear in Dutch here on GTP?

Before we translated it? We'd think you had a seizure and just hit random letters.

After? An infraction/ban.

 

[Lain]

I'm a sailor. That should answer your question.

 

[Lizard]

just hit random letters.

That is pretty much what Dutch is.

Just ask @Dennisch

 

[nowcontrol]

I am a cockney geeza, it would be unnatural for me not to f and blind my way through life. Know what I 🤬 mean.

In conversation I really only do so among friends and can manage to keep it clean with anyone else.

I also swear at the TV a lot when I am home alone playing games.

 

[kolio]

I was raised with them. Amd personaly, I think it is complete bull crap that somebody had to consider these words offensive. I do not understand why a word is considered a curse word when it meams the exact same thing as another word. For example, replace "crap" with "🤬" and it becomes something I cannot say at school. EVEN THOUGH IT MEANS THE EXACT SAME THING!

 

[kikie]

No it doesn't because sailors are such civilized people. ,

 

[Matej]

People often forget how being polite and having decisive posture in a conversation can disarm your opponent more effectively than traditional swearing.
Swearing has no meaning and thus, should never be used when expressing emotions as nobody will figure out what is on your mind, apart from that you're being very rude and unwelcome unit.

 

[GTPVenomZombie]

Yeah, everyday I use profanity. I`m not proud of it, but sometimes it can be a good anger and stress relief. Currently doing exams in secondary school so its not helping me either with my potty mouth. Gotten me so stressed I even swear in front of my parents, and I`m not proud of that either. Maybe I should try to stop and use something else as a relief.

 

[Im_Lukas]

I've been brought up with swearing but almost never do it myself (and never aimed at other people), when I do swear I immediately think that doesn't sound right coming from me, and go back to clean language. It's easier this way as it's not a common part of my vocabulary so it's very unlikely that I use it in a situation where foul language is inappropriate.

I think some of my friends swear more in one day than I do in a year, it's as if every sentence must have several swear words to function with some of them.

 

[Casey]

I don't really use swear words much at all personally only sometimes like when something surprises me or when I hurt my self accidentally.

 

[Danoff]

Words are tools. Sometimes an offensive word is the right tool for the job.

 

[Last Daimyo]

The only situations in which I use profanity is when hit with sudden pain. Other than on those occasions, no.

 

[Com Fox]

I don't find any words offensive what so ever, I can listen to them without getting any reaction unless it is for humour as I do find the words strengthen the humour (though it is probably due to how they are saying it). However I don't say them because I find the alternatives to be more fun to say "Fudge" > "****".

Granted here, I use 🤬 a lot here

 

[FoRiZon]

Yes you 🤬 ****.

Spoiler

I try to keep it minimum. Not a fan of excessive swearing.

 

[Epic B]

I will swear occasionally, but I don't do it much. Usually I just say damn and that's about it. Sometimes I'll say "eff" instead of actually saying the F word. I normally don't go any further than that. However, I don't care whether others swear or not. It's up to them.

Before we translated it? We'd think you had a seizure and just hit random letters.

I actually laughed.

 

[Grayfox]

Being australian, yes.
I would say which 3 words are most common but against AUP

But watch any australian dashcam videos for a while and you will know them.

 

[ryzno]

I don't have a foul mouth, I just like to say 🤬 alot.

 

[Winters Noble]

I mostly use expletives as adjectives when excited.

And from Nov 26 2014.....

Being an Australian, Yes.

I use the 3 common Australian insults and mainly in the once sentence too.

I already explained that swearing is not synonymous with being Australian. So don't speak for us all ya 🤬.

You expect me to remember crap from 12+months?

I barely remember crap from a 1week
And who said I speak for all, the dashcam videos do that.

 

[GTboyz]

2 years ago ? Nah, nowadays ? Totally. Especially when in pain.

While I somewhat agree, it is hard to say it isn't a stereotype given to Australians, and some Australians do live with that stereotype (more common than other countries).

 

[AlvaroF]

Yes, yes I do and since from an early age, not my parentes fault though, because I won't have potty mouth around them, it wasy nature. Every setence I spit out has at least one inapropriate word in it, but only among friends and people my age. Otherwise I can control myself not to swear that much. But also being Portuguese we're pretty much formated to swear a lot.

 

[Ameer67]

Sorry to give this thread a bump, but yes, I have a potty mouth. Funny thing is that I was pretty much taught by another classmate of mine in 3rd grade. He showed me how to cuss out and flick off little kindergartners and 1st graders during recess for absolutely no reason. As a dumb 3rd grader, it felt pretty good to say these new and exciting words. Do I still swear to this day? Yep, pretty much daily. I try not to swear much online and in text but in the real world, it's so damn hard not to.

 

[jake2013guy]

If I was an F1 driver, my team radio would be morse code.

 

[kolio]

What makes a word offensive?

Something that's riddling my mind.

I am not sure to be completely honest.

But I have a theory...

A word may be offensive if it causes someone/something to have to play defense. So if I said "🤬 you," that being the one that starts with an "F," you would have to defend yourself in why I shouldn't have said that.

But that actually seems like a really stupid theory because it doesn't always work.

So the next time somebody tells me I have said something offensive, I am going to ask them for a list of defensive words that mean the same thing.

 

[bluemoon_19]

Yes I swear so much when I'm at work dropping F bombs at the slightest hint of trouble. I also work with a polish guy and his swearing is a mix of english and polish mainly F bombs in both languages with mother between if you understand that lol. At home around parents I can say some stuff but no F's or B's.

 

[nascarfan1400]

I have to walk around with a 7 second delay, if thats any hint.

 

[TVR27]

I don't really swear but I do say a lot of politically incorrect things

I tell cyclist to work harder and buy a car.

And qout Jeremy Clarkson all the time.
