Do you swear?

[Mizmo]

Hell Yes !

Not at people
Mostly in my kitchen

I don't know what happened to me. I was quite ladylike until DH passed away. Then I started using one particular curse word and use it almost exclusively on a regular basis, but only when I am alone. Never in another's company. I suppose Alexa hears me using the F word daily.

well if you're alone, who are you actually swearing at ?

Years back I took my pastor bird hunting. He shut his A5 Browning shotgun on his hand, blood went everywhere we got him patched up and his choice of words was priceless "Do to my profession would one of you please say something fitting I can't."

As if life isn't difficult enough. Poor guy.

You do have it in for me, don't you.

 

[dilettante]

Maybe I can hide before she reads that. I might be ok yet.

I am always swearing at myself.

One word that is on the edge of profane, at least in Brit-Speak and that's "B*ll*cking. When you get a severe reprimand it's called a b*ll*cking. My guess is that it's a kind of metaphor. When a fellow gets a kick in the nuts, (b*ll*cks) it hurts like hell. How it's become known as that, for either male or female on the end of the tongue lashing is testament to the flexibility of The English language.

I swanee (swanny) a rather good bit

 

[Murrmurr]

I do....Solemnly.

Maybe because the many women who have kicked men in the bullocks (possibly much deserved) have a very clear impression of the painful consequences, ergo, there's no confusion about it.
