A great deal and not quietly But I am relatively adept at self-censorship in front of audiences, at least for a while. When we get to the afternoon sessions of a full-day workshop or offsite I don’t really have the energy not to drop a few shits and let some fucks dribble out

i try to swear only swear when i need to/when it's appropriate -- when i am in traffic, when i forgot something, when i accidentally injure myself, etci remember buying a sebadoh tshirt with the words "lo-fi...fuckin' whatever" on it and being too embarrassed to wear it. i didn't really feel that strongly about sebadoh or lo-fi recording. i gave it away.

i am pretty sure i have told people to fuck off but i don't think i have ever said "fuck you" aloud directly to a person

I've got to admit, I've gotten into the habit of yelling "shut the fuck up!" in the car when I'm tired of what's on the news and need to change the station.

we mostly speak English at home so chez nous we only swear in other languages, mostly French and Spanish but also Arabic. My kids chafe at it sometimes, they wanna drop F bombs but I like our home life not being like that. Still, if a French or Spanish speaker were here, yeesh, the things my kids say to other, & to us, & vice-versa...
w others / in other settings, it totally depends on the audience. I do a LOT of code switching.

Code switching swearing seems like cheating to me. I admire Euler’s family environment, it sounds rich and complex, but if you can disguise your fucks, are they really fucks?Same for people who only swear whenever they think nobody can hear. When a tree shouts SHIT and nobody’s around, etc
― El Tomboto, Thursday, 31 May 2018 22:58 (six years ago) link
A shouting tree would warrant some swearing imo

cheating is for prescriptiviststhere is no cheating for descriptivists, there is only usage

On that note I hate it when men protest/are disgusted by women who swear but not by men who do. As u all may kno my bf does a crime podcast with his female bestie. They both swear a bit on the show - its that sorta show - but when emails or tweets of complaint come in, theyre always to say "Tara swears way too much" / "Tara has a foul mouth"/ "women shouldnt swear that much".
Once it happened re a show she didnt drop a single F or C bomb in, and Barney had dropped heaps :/ Yet they complained about her swears?
Fucking cunt sexists.

I'm an inveterate swearer, a father and a teacher. Bad mix.
I try not to swear in front of my own kids, with varying results. We've had lots of discussion about language choices and audience etc and I'm mostly sanguine about it. I generally don't swear in front of classes but have slipped a couple of times. I've found Y11s to be generally pretty potty-mouthed, so I tend to have the same discussions about language choices etc and move on.
