PROFANITY: DIFFERENCE USA versus EUROPE? (Page 2 of 2)

My personal favorite was when i overheard 2 girls at the local disco, one exclaimed "He was hung like a donkeys bollox"!!!! I thought it funny!!!!!

Ah Yes Arkadiebudlike!

But did you understand the Dublineese? Its more about the accent its spoken
with. Probably why all my life ive been told i dont sound like a Dubliner,

In Dublin that is. My Mam would have given me a very distainful look if she heard me speak like that.

But i so love it.

When your asked " Were a ya goin wit no bell onur bike an yr knickers wringin,

den ye need ta worrie?.

Molly Malowne!

Southpaw!

I have no doubt, as i know this. Sure the Dubs and Dublin get themselves in everywhere

I am having a great evening here, Ive discovered my Great Great grand Father had an eye for the ladies!!  Its looking like he had a young wife here in Ireland with no family, and another abroad with One Son?. " The STud Muffin".

He has criss crossed his way from Ireland to Scotland, on to Haywood in Manchester, then to Canada, and back here to Ireland..With a wee stop over in Liverpool England. Im looking forward to seeing what this fella died from?

Stds Comes to mind

God didnt porridge give these old timers great stamina? Little did he know cyber would eventually catch up with him.
He is one interesting   Subject with the wonderful name of John. I have 8 brothers, and one who died  many years ago  who was known as John.
Obviously called after this Charmer!

But when you swear as punctuation, it loses it's emphasis thereby becoming common usage.  God help us all if we weren't confined by morals.  Imagine what might happen if everyone was free to do what they felt like to anyone else?  How would you feel if you saw your ma/gran talking to someone in the street and as you approached you heard something like

"Hi Edna, how the ~#%* are you?  Haven't seen you in ~#%*ing ages!  You need to get your skinny wrinkled A## self to ~#%*ing Church more often, 8!tcH!"

Quite unpleasant I think.

I think I should learn tact & discretion !

I agree with you to a certain extent. But I do not like hearing young kids swearing. They should learn other words to use then when older they can swear as much as they like.
I swaer a lot but not in front of my kids, I wouldnt want them thinking swearing is ok, so much they start swearing then they go to school and swear then just get into trouble for it.

And your question, who said?
Well, Queen Victoria I know banned the word C**t. she didnt like it so she decided it was an offensive word. It was widely used once in the UK but now it is probably the most taboo sweary word you can get. I dont know why. Maybe because of the letters? it makes it a sort of hard sounding word, and aggressive word.
the ye get B*****rd, in the dictionary, means something, but is classed as a swear word in the content it is used.
S*it I was told before was something to do with boats years ago for loading stuff in the part under the deck where they storedstuff that had to stay dry. But I cannot remember whatthat was and propbably a load of crap.
crap, that is classed by some as a swear word but no way is it, bollox also,

ye just have to accept that this is the way society is.
I dont like it, but I accept it.

Hi, Weedjie

If you are ok with someone speaking to a loved one like that then that's fine.  If your loved one was offended by the language/manner in which it was used then it becomes a criminal offense in the UK. 

If more people were educated in the ways of respect for others then we wouldn't live in such an insular society. 

Take care
