Guest guest Posted June 17, 2005 Report Share Posted June 17, 2005 I must have led a very sheltered younger life - I almost never heard swearing. Men never swore near women, and women hardly ever used any swear words. My brother must have heard the f word when he was about 10. He said it in front of my mum and the result was pretty scary. She pinned him to the kitchen sink, and seethed through her teeth - 'you will never say that word again'. I never heard him say that one again.

Guest guest Posted June 17, 2005 Report Share Posted June 17, 2005 My dad was armed forces and I was exposed to George Carlin at the tender age of 5. I have a terrible mouth and actually got a reprimand put on my file at my last place of work for swearing too much. Pantywaists.

Guest guest Posted June 17, 2005 Report Share Posted June 17, 2005 I just chose to ignore this one. Couldn't read it properly through the tears in my eyes anyways.

Guest guest Posted June 17, 2005 Report Share Posted June 17, 2005 I don't think I ever heard the " f " word until I was in my 30s. I didn't realise " bloody hell " was a swear word/phrase, I was about 5. I was a very quiet child and had wandered off as the adults were talking about bloodlines and what have you. One of the grooms got kicked and he let loose with a string of words, " bloody hell " was what stuck in my mind. I remember being in love with the beautiful white horses (Arabs) and the castles but deciding I didn't want to go and live in one because they hadn't let me bring my dog with me <g> Quarantines and all that. I did hear lots of swearing around the race track but still never the " f " word. Guess it is more of a ghetto gone hip thing.
