Am I a prude?

[happyscooter]

I don't think so. I just dislike the 'F' bomb and I can't believe how many people are dropping it on these sites. I come here for money advice and I have to wade through the threads dodging words that I can't believe just roll off of people's tongues like the word 'the.'

[Waffle]

I don't use the F word and I don't like it either. But either we are reading different threads or I've become numb to it. In other words I haven't noticed the f word being used here. Which board(s) are you seeing it on?

On second thought, I don't read a lot of the threads on EE, but I suspect there are lots of things on some of those threads a prude wouldn't like - that's probably why I don't read many of them.

[Miss Tequila]

The F word doesn't bother me. I don't pepper my posts with it, but I do use it on occasion.

I use the F word IRL. But not generally on here. That being said, sometimes it's needed for emphasis. Like:

I F'n hate the budget.
My Ex is an F'n moron.
WTF! (Or WTE!)

My sister's MIL doesn't like the word either and used to give me four free "F" words each Thanksgiving -- get them out BEFORE dinner she would tell me. Aww ... so sweet!

LOL, I use them more IRL than on here, too....like when I'm driving and some asswipe cuts me off....JFC is an automatic response...

Not to mention, if you are looking for money advice you would probably be more interested in Your Money than EE..unless you are wondering how to properly allocate between hookers and blow

[happyscooter]

I only look at three sites and I think it was on YM. At any rate, I am trying to filter what I look at and only be on here a short time each time.

[zibazinski]

Nah, it gets real old but I use it as well when I am driving. I only hope I don't use them in front of DF because he would probably wet his pants if he heard me say it. I was raised with so much guilt for just being that even when I use it, it makes me cringe afterward.

[verrip1]

Seriously now. Where would the world be if we couldn't say GFY?

A desolate world. Everything grey. No flowers or cute little bunnies. Who would want to live in that world?

[NancysSummerSip]

I am not a fan of it, and do not use it, nor do I use any other form of language I deem personally offensive.

However, I state now, as I have in the past, that I am no one's censor. I am also a journalist, and therefore a supporter of free speech, even if I don't like what you have to say. If you choose to drop one four-letter word, or enough of them to shame a *&@!load of sailors, be my guest.

hi nancy

[kdamron]

unless you are wondering how to properly allocate between hookers and blow

which is of course information everybody needs to know... ;D

[NancysSummerSip]

Oh, so THAT'S why we lost a poster or two to Smart Spending. ;D

You rang, EFCO?

[efco]

JOOST saying hi

[Sum Dum Gai]

Sorry, but I vote prude. Or old person. I guess I'd give you a pass if you're over 50. Grew up in a different era and all that. If you aren't over 50 though, you need to get the F over it. It's just a word written by some internet stranger, don't let it get you down man.

[NancysSummerSip]

Sheesh, yesterday I was a plagiarizing hack and today I'm an old person. Nancy sad. Nancy would like to remove Dark's cute little ears from his head and place them on a sharp stick.

[Peace Of Mind]

I love the F bomb, when appropriate. I don't use it too often, but when I feel the need to - there is just no other word that works as well when you need to release frustration or when you smash your finger or toe. Fiddlesticks just won't cut it for me.

I admit to being shocked that people find offense to cursing. Even religious fanatics and prim and propers use them on occasion, and I live in the bible belt.

"which is of course information everybody needs to know... "

I'm planning to do a seminar on it! "The more you know, the more you ho".

[NancysSummerSip]

I'm planning to do a seminar on it! "The more you know, the more you ho and blow."

Fixed to make that seminar a two-parter. ;D

[efco]

I don't have a dirty mouth.

I chew Orbit.

[imawino]

"Fixed to make that seminar a two-parter. "

Smart thinking!

The F bomb isn't really a bomb if you use it everyday. It really is only effective when grandma whose mouth melts sugar pops out an expletive in an extreme moment of frustration. Otherwise. who cares? People who over use it sound like stupid people who haven't developed their vocabulary. Try a dictionary.

I think snerdley could use a good F bomb.

[Peace Of Mind]

Well, that was what I was implying, after all.

I am way over 50 and I can drop the F word with the best of them. I have a potty mouth, but refrain from using it here for fear of shocking the pants off all the kiddos

[NancysSummerSip]

Smart thinking!

Hey, this is EE; multitasking is not an option here; it's a requirement!

[NancysSummerSip]

shocking the pants off all the kiddos:-X

NNP, I'm not sure there's much left to say that would shock folks here.


Come to think of it, many of them arent't wearing pants, so it's not going to be an issue.

I'm not even sure a good fuck would loosen her up

NNP, you're good! Most of them don't even wear pants.

Oops, Nancy beat me to it. Sometimes I hate being an afternoon person. All the good stuff has been said already.

The signs of good breeding, intelligence, and education is being able to get your point across without using obscene language.

I have told people off sweetly and with a smile ...... and they have to think about what I said.
