Thread: The swear Jar.

I tend to use a few but never the C bomb.
If I'm really angry I threaten to turn it into a set f saucepans.

Its aways been a part of language but its got a time and place. I think if anyone used it in conversation in any forum it would, and rightly so, be deemed to be offensive. You can still get charged for using it in public....'offensive language'.

At home though, my wife just says, 'Why don't you put $50 a week into the jar and be done with it'.

It's a gold coin donation for swearing under my roof. The garage is open slather though

I think F can be used at specific times and places, eg lads only poker night, after a few beers and your flush just got beat.
Or like me last week when my FIL trapped my finger in between the the gearbox and the engine, F was quite appropriate !

But in front of any mixed company, (women/kids) it's just not cricket ay chaps.

C, can't remember the last time I used it, maybe as a teenager?

I think I use B*****d most, mostly to friends

I start out with all the non normal ones, that Ive gleaned from farscape, firefly and red dwarf, and I use those in no particular order occasionally a Worf sounding clingon like clutch of syllables will spew forth into the mix... Then I start in on the same vein with the normal english ones in the mix....


When it gets really really bad I break out "what kind of idiot designed this this way? which bloody idiots bought enough of them to make them popular, W am I doing working on pommy crap in the first place? If this doesnt do this/that Right bloody now im going to gas axe it to pieces then set fire to it and melt it down into coffee cups"

That usually scares it into submission.... Gave the security guard who was doing the walkaround last night a scare when the eazy out snapped in the drive hub I can tell ya.
