We've had odd weather here. It's been mild recently, and the crocii have sprung up... only to get blasted today by snow, hail, and then a near blizzard. Oddly alternated with periods of sun and calm, where yes, the birds are singing in the trees, but I think that if anybody understood bird-speak, they'd be able to translate it roughly as: "Omigod my balls are fucking frozen. I'm never going to be able to procreate again. AAAGH! SHIT! They're starting to defrost right this minute; please just fucking shoot me and spare me the pain."   8^S

You talk to your mum like that???

My mum would tell me to wash my mouth out with soap!

Me mum disapproves of swearing only when it is used to conceal the narrowness of the speaker's vocabulary. "Can't you think of anything more imaginitive to say?" has been a retort of hers on catching me and my brother swearing at each other. But when she's pissed off, she can swear like a sailor herself!

As would mine. Although she'd probably use quite a few expletives whilst saying that.

Ah yes, the infamous double-standard.

My parents are pretty okay with swearing in general these days - my dad doesn't bat an eyelid. My mother only gets bothered if I do it in front of certain people (although if they're pole-up-the-arse types I think she secretly finds their reaction highly amusing). She really doesn't like the 'c word' though!

Yeah, mine neither.
It's hugely dependent on culture; she's a londoner, and so she's used to it being a highly offensive word to call a woman. I however am culturally northern, and so use it to describe men; i.e. a stronger form of 'twat'.
I think there's a generational difference as well.

Heehee!



HAMLET: Lady, shall I lie in your lap?
OPHELIA:No, my lord.
HAMLET:I mean my head upon your lap?
OPHELIA:Ay, my lord.
HAMLET:Do you think I meant country matters?
OPHELIA:I think nothing my lord.
HAMLET:That's a fair thought to lie between maid's legs.


I remember my high-school english teacher explaining this one to us and making us blush.   8^)
