The using of filthy language

[eamarquardt]

I've always thought that profanity was the sure sign of an inarticulate #)_$^!@) A#8()3-8er

Nah, it just means they have a larger vocabulary. Some times an expanded vocabulary comes in handy. Although, I once had a subordinate that was very difficult to manage. Hard worker just in the wrong direction at times. I could have used "Marine vernacular" on him but chose not to. What really got his attention was telling him he was behaving like a two year old. THAT got his attention, ha.

Unfortunately my wife and I have the bad habit of cussing some at home. Not in anger just cussing in conversation. Ok more than some. Funny thing is our son never picked it up. He is 18 now and I have only heard him cuss one time. We were fishing in the mountains on a stream with no trail. He and a friend of his separated from me several hundred yards around a sharp turn in the stream. I was back at the truck and they could not see me. One of them tackled the other into the ice cold water and they both went in. Those two used every word in the book until they got to the shore and saw me standing there. Wow can those kids cus. Where did they learn all those words?????

I learned most of em while visiting my "uncle".

So much discussion about so little.

I guess it's confession time around the Internet campfire.

For a thread about the lack of cussing, it's amazing how much lightly-masked cussing is in this thread!

... I sometimes think I have evil demons come out when I'm driving home (alone) from work...my mouth curses at idiot drivers. (I'm having a talk with myself about that problem).

Becca, you'll know that you a problem if you have a talk with yourself about cussing...and you cuss yourself out for having the nerve to mention it. If that hasn't happened, there is still hope . I know what you mean though. I-35 is one big concrete scan-tron sheet; by that I mean that every time I try to merge on or let someone else merge into traffic, it is a true Test of willpower.

Todah, I am embarassed to say that it happens on a daily basis. Idiot drivers! I'm a good driver...courteous and very patient...well, most of the time but "sometimes" my patience wears thin and I swear, my mouth starts cussin' before I can stop it. I've tried to clamp my mouth shut but found letting the other driver know (in the privacy of my own vehicle) that he/she is an A-hole driver seems to make me feel better. My biggest pet-peave is someone not using a turn signal. Uggghhhh! My husband is GUILTY! If you are gonna weave in and out of traffic like a fool, please use your turn signal. If you don't, I guarantee someone is calling you an A-hole and it's probably me.

In traffic all bets are off. No one is holding you accountable for your language. Certainly none of us here on the forum.

Use of fingers is acceptable too, although you might not want to flash them in the window, as it could cause road rage!

did he say what I thought he said or was he just driving in Atlanta? CliffinGA knows and said just what I experience in Atlanta. If you plan to drive with me can i suggest ear plugs. I have to concentrate on my driving and yelling obscenities listening to loud music (I prefer Queen). I Hate Atlanta Traffic. That is why I live near the state line waaaaaaay in the country now, I can country cuss........

I am very happy that everyone this forum keep it so I can read their posts without having to cringe so much!!!
