Re: Todays Language
I know what you mean AB - when you don't use that sort of language yourself it is quite shocking to hear it coming from a young girl in everyday conversation. The disturbing thing is that they don't think it is anything out of the ordinary. Generally I don't swear often and some words I couldn't bring myself to use, but every now and then something will make me cross enough to need an effective invective. Because I don't normally swear and it is usually when I am angry, it has an immediate desired effect and it is taken seriously by those who know me.Re: Todays Language
Re: Todays Language
My pastor used to address this problem by confronting those girls and asking them if they'd speak like that in front of their mother? Of course they would say no and the pastor would insist their potty talk was a conscious choice, to feel accepted among their peers.Re: Todays Language
I hardly ever swear, I have a very vivid memory of saying "Bugger it" in front of my mum when I was a young pup. Next thing my mouth was being washed out with soap. Now if I'm about to let loose I still find myself looking around for my Mum. lol. By then the moment has usually passed.Re: Todays Language
Spending my career in construction I admit to having used the odd bad word, but I have never used bad language in company or in earshot of others. Like White Raven, I inadvertently swore in front of my mother when I was thirteen and I still bear the scars!Thread Tools | |
