I should just point out that I am not a complete prude and sometimes only one word will do. Its not unknown for me to mutter some choices words if I cant get out of a bunker.

Am I alone in being distressed at how much in common uses this word is? I know some will say its just a word, doesn't mean anything ya ya yah but to me it does. I'm seeing a lot of films and TV lately due to being a bit housebound and I have turned off so many things as the F word is used SO many times. I really hearing it in pubs etc.
My BIL ex- headteacher told DH its just common parlance and we should chill - his son (our nephew) says it to him all the time. If he says it to me or in my hearing he will get short shrift.
