Women That Swear

[Diceman]

Why must you arouse us so?

You want more arousal you say?

I would love her more than a diabetic loves insulin.

As was once said by Steven Fry; "Anyone who doesn't swear is a fucking arsehole", or something along those lines.

In the words of Yahtzee, his voice is like a honey-dipped finger working it's way into my earhole.

 

[Andalusa]

Oh jeez. I swear all the time.
Well... not all the time, mostly when I'm annoyed, angry or taking the piss.
When I'm being sarcastic I don't swear per se, it's more implied swearing.

If people don't like it, fuck 'em.

Interesting choice of words...and I agree with you

Girls swear as much as anyone else. Some of them are just a bit quieter about it.

 

[Baby Tea]

So I was just wondering if anyone else agrees that girls swearing just seems nicer sometimes than when they simply try their best not to?

To be honest, I think people who swear in regular conversation sound like complete morons.
I mean, if they are angry, or hurt themselves, then I understand. But at the beginning, end, and/or middle of every sentence? Then they just seem like insecure people who can't use their words to properly and normally convey what they are trying to say.

Now, I know that that's not your question, but I'm just setting the proverbial stage so that you can know where I'm coming from when I say that I find it doubly worse when girls do it. Maybe it's my upbringing, maybe it isn't. I don't know. But girls swearing regularly isn't nice, cool, sexy, hot, attractive, or anything else other then repulsive. Like I said before: When emotional or hurt, I can understand and let it slide. But in regular conversation, I think it's beyond juvenile.

Well, I find the occasional swear word fine by me and don't judge at a tip of the hat, but I have to say, people that swear a lot ... well in my experience on AVERAGE there seems to be a correlation between it and intelligence.

The person ready to use swearing to make up half their dialogue doesn't normally have the most thought out idea. I curse, we all do it from time to time, we stub our toe on a book shelf, he get cut off in traffic but someone who never shows any restraint in swearing always reminds me a bit of a freshman in high school.

If you curse, it can be inferred that you're not intelligent enough to articulate what your feeling in any other way. "use your words to ... wait, not those words!" Its not always true, but if you get in an argument, and your best comeback is just to swear loudly ... eh, people assume its because you cant think of anything better to say.

(plus, when you curse a lot, doesn't it just take all the impact out of it, when it really matters? )

My parents yell at me for swearing saying 'you're a writer you can come up with a better word' but I think that's less a gender thing and more of a my parents being stuck in the mud thing.

I swear all the time but I don't take it to Boondock Saints degree. If I stub my toe and it hurts like hell I'm going to say 'god damn it.' If something goes horribly wrong I'm going to say 'oh shit.' And if you really piss me off I will tell you to 'fuck off.'

 

[Soxafloppin]

It would be weird hearing a girl say "****" its just a brutal word.

 

[Keltrick]

I swear fairly regularly. I've had stuffy old ladies tell me I should curtail it, and I would if people would stop PISSING ME OFF SO MUCH. >_<

I do honestly try not to do it every other word...I knew a guy once that it seemed like every other word out of his mouth was some sort of variation of "fuck" or in relation to his dangly bits, which frankly I didn't care to hear about. That bothered a lot of people we both worked with and frankly I was glad to see him get fired. Swearing appropriately is one thing, and as a joking, overly-excessive manner is another. But doing it just for it's own sake is just...ugh.

EeeHee, but dont we get into the debate of "when is swearing appropriate"? To someone its when anything bad happens. To someone else, ti has to be something that causes bodily harm. To someone else, it has to be life threatening.

So many levels, and everyone will look down on the person that subscribes to the level 'below' them.

You think that person's swearing was bad, (and in my opinion rightly so) but I'm certain to find a few regular Joes that might find your cursing, or mine, in just as bad taste as his. Who decides when it's overly-excessive ... I suppose that is determined by company present, and society as a whole.

I don't care either way because I don't believe all the bullshit about how swearing is something bad and you shouldn't do it or whatever. People should save their "OMG don't say those words!" rants for words that can actually be hurtful (racial slurs for example). But stop throwing a temper tantrum every time I say fuck because it's just a word and it's not bad because you say so.

Of course it is very silly when people want to swear but they try not to because they don't want to be "bad" by doing it, regardless of gender. If something really heavy drops on your foot or you get electrocuted or something nasty like that, nobody is going to call you out for "swearing" and if they do they are an asshole.

This confuses me a bit since, yes, kids will swear lots because it makes them feel like a grown up and it's naughty, but swearing every so often in just normal conversion can simply add emphasis to what's being said without being an extreme of some emotion when doing so. Plus there's the fact that's really adding to your vocabulary technically. Seriously, "cockchops" is a very versatile word
But then don't get me confused with someone who thinks that replacing as many words as possible with swearwords is a good thing. I just think it's ok to use them in between something else to add a lilt of emotion to it.

Writing can be improved with swearing in my opinion.

Honestly sometimes there just isn't any other way to get your point across using language alone.

As with many things, it is best in moderation. Every now and then for punctuation can be sexy if done right.

Funny you should mention this. Was a lady friends birthday the other day so we went out for some food. I've known her a very long time and I've never heard her swear. I never really noticed it though.
But then we were talking, I forget what about something to do with sex and chocolate (read: I remember exactly what it was but don't want to say) and she goes "you are my fucking god". It was weird. First time I met her she was this naive girl who didn't know the ways of the world. Looks like I corrupted her in some way.

People that swear always seem nicer to me than people that try their best not to.
Its honest, human and a fun thing to do.
People that are against swearing usually also complain about noise, living beings, other's outer appearence and whatever else there might be interesting in this world.

I don't think that's true. I think there's a time and a place for swearing, and a level of acceptability. You get people who f on every sentence, or those who do it during really delicate moments.

I work at a very expensive 4 star hotel where we have workers who sometimes swear in public areas, not realising there's guests in the same room, and it's caused problems, but they're so used to doing so they can't help it.

Er... I also have problems with noise and living beings... shit.

OT though, there's a woman at work who swears fairly often (when no-one else is around) and I find it hilarious because she's the kind of person you'd never expect to do such a thing.

There really isn't. I mean the entire fact that writing alone has no inflection beyond that what you have described makes setting any sort of mood very awkward with only the overuse of "she said angrily" when you could easily have them shouting a swear word at someone like a normal human being.

Corruption of innocents gives me a warm squishy feeling where my heart should be.

 

[ZydrateDealer]

I've got nothing against people expressing themselves, I do have a problem with insulting people and claiming that your expressing yourself.

OT. Swearing neither endears me, nor relaxes me...it confuses me that anyone should hold positive or negative views of words though.

 

[BlackStar42]

Well, too much makes you a chav, male or female. A curse here or there is just fine.
