Like I said, I've very rarely heard anyone swear in a professional environment. And as to the lowlife slob bit, that was a phrase used first by Ecconoob, and was actually a misquote of Albert saying foul mouthed slobs. I'm comfortable using either to describe people who habitually swear, it seems to have upset you though.

To be clear, I didn't say "a swear word" now did I. As usual you're making things up. We're talking about habitual swearing in conversation, not just one single curse word used. I'd be quite surprised though if you entirely ignore the way things are expressed, but perhaps you're unusual.

I'm confused, didn't you just call it snobbery to not like this behaviour, but now it's one of your pet hates...

I don’t think it’s nice to refer to someone as a lowlife slob if they swear. I think that’s worse than using a swear word. i didn’t make anything up - nor have I ever made anything up. you are confused as you have quoted mickey Finn rather than me at the end there.

kaytie 11 #87 Posted December 29, 2018 Not a big fan of anyone swearing, but object strongly to differentiation between men and women. I've spent most of my working life in a male dominated occupation and I'll ####### swear if I want to. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Cyclone 10 #88 Posted December 29, 2018 I quoted MF and replied to MF because that comment was directed at MF. No confusion there MP except from you. You are entitled to think something isn't nice, so am I. It's entirely subjective so there's no point in trying to convince someone of that opinion is there. I have made a point of earwigging today though. I had breakfast in the Rawsons Springs, not the most high brow environment you'll probably agree. Of all the conversations I could overhear, I didn't hear a single curse. I've also been to Sainsbury's, and again didn't hear a single curse. Swearing doesn't seem to be all that common really. Or perhaps you and ecconoob work in unusual environments. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

I don't like adults swearing at the school doors, that is very different from you saying " I don't like people who swear casually in conversation", I don't make judgements like that simply because they swear, they could still be nice people.

The bit where you made something up, yes. We were never talking about "A" swear word in conversation were we. We're talking about habitual swearing.

We're talking about habitual swearing. that’s not making things up. I genuinely didnt realise people were differentiating on levels of swearing. I thought if someone referred to something as effin rubbish that was pretty much the same as saying that was effin rubbish and so was effin that etc. it must be really difficult to avoid falling into your lowlife slob classification when it’s not just “if” you swear but how much.

I'd quoted MF, and I was referring to him. I've no idea why you thought a quote of someone else followed by a comment was directed at you.
