Never heard it called ''effing and jeffing'' before. My Dad used to call it "effing and blinding" which I could never understand.

Even crazier are the ones which stick it in the middle of a word like "abso-effing-lutely". And they are not chavs.
 
I have been know to use the odd expletive but I try not to in front of the child;she has already developed a bit of a potty mouth but on the odd occasion that it's happened you have to explain to her which is the swear word and why she can't use it!
 
I have said a couple of things in the past without thinking about it, but realised as soon as I had said it.

If you don't make a big deal out of it, they tend not to notice (as long as you don't do it too often). At least, they have not repeated the word in our earshot!
 
I say the odd swear word when driving (if I'm on my own), sometimes if angry or telling a joke, but in general I dont like hearing it, my other half doesn't swear in front of me or other women, in general I think men have more respect, sometimes the air is blue inside the ladies lavs, it sounds really cheap!
 
One of my wife's friends is really quite objectionable, she swears at every given opportunity, and I know chimpanzees with more manners than her; she doesn't bother with please and thank-you, and she ignored me for an entire evening because I refused to make her a drink until she said please.

That was quite enjoyable, actually!!!
 
Unfortunately, I have been voted "the foulest-mouthed woman" ever known by a few people on separate occasions. It's something I'm not at all proud of - but I'm only very bad if I'm drunk, angry, upset, happy, sad, excited..... (you get the picture). Trouble is, I honestly don't even notice I'm doing it half the time, although, I do try to make an extra effort in front of any children.

Anyway, hopefully I can change my ways cos until then there's quite a few of you that won't be speaking to me if you see me at the meetings etc!!!
 
Oh ShortStuff........at least you know your failings........and if you can control them in front of children then you are well on your way to controlling them full stop.
 
ime not sure if the woman who i am going to mention next still has children who go to saint mary magdalins but maybe anyone who has children there has heard this woman speak to her kids in the school yard when picking up her children in the past

i stood jaw dropped while a woman basicly screamed this to her children

what the fu*k do you want now you whining little cu*t just wait until i get you home you fu**ing wa**er

almost every day i would hear this as she dragged her kids down the street screaming even worse language at the youngest child because he was lagging behind and couldnt keep up with his mother who was storming about

another parent informed me that she did this daily both morning and when collecting them after school but no one dare say anything because the felt she would probably attack them or sothing and no one wants confrontation in front of kids in a school yard

what i find unbelievable is that the school its self didnt / hasnt taken any action is this not a form of child abuse

the youngest child may still be there so the mother in question may still be taking the child to school but if you drop or pick up kids from saint mary magdalins you have no doubt heard these outbursts

can anyone confirm this as the way she acted is so unbelievable i wouldnt believe it unless i heard it for myself lol
 
Well I guess I have have been hearing obscene and foul language all my life. I have become almost immune to it. The only time I cringe is when I hear a female using the 'c' word. But what hope have we got. The films they churn out these days include that word in some of them. Both my wife and myself roll our eyes at each other when we hear it. Quite frankly I can't see the point of using foul language at any time. I find it totally pointless. Unless you're of the moronic type and it does something for you. (you work out your own psychology if the cap fits. Don't blame me):D Men are definitely the worst offenders but it sounds worse coming from a female. But that's life as they say. (Who are They?) :)
 
I work in an enviroment that you hear most people talking and the woman talks with the foulest of tongues,dont get me wrong men swear nearly as bad,but when you ask a man to curb his language he usually does but ask a woman and you might as well hit your head on a wall.
 
I must admit I do use bad language a lot - it is something of a culture in the office I work in. I have to say that when I first came to London, I was shocked by the amount of bad language from all sorts of unexpected people - it does seem to be more common down here (take that how you will!).

That said, I do know other adjectives than f*****g - and use them rather more.

One experience - when I was a school governor, I was in the Head's office one morning, when a mum came in to see our Head. She had been asked to call in because of the child's foul language in class. Her response? - "I don't know where the little bl**der gets it from, I'll effing kill him."

pendy i used to mate around with a lad whose parents where dad cockney....mother scottish and when them two had a argument they had one you should have heard them at it, i think that is why i perssonally dont like foul language anymore especially spoke out loud so all the other people within 20 ft can also hear it.
 
when i lived in wales it is normal language there as it is in ireland , no one seems to bother , it is up to the individual, if they want to use it ....well then ..but if they choose not to no one notices.
 
Willow - they do tend to swear a lot in Ireland, but to be honest they speak so softly & quickly you often miss it! Oh feck it!

chav1 - isn't it everybodys duty to report any form of child abuse if they are witness to it? If you felt that these children were being abused why didn't you try to report the mother - why should it be the schools responsibility?

I've spent a lot of time in Ireland and none of the people I mixed with swore at all.
