...can we swear before being branded "potty mouthed". Please.

Thanks, janea. I found a site that does PayPal. My brother is taking us all out to lunch next Friday and we're meeting here for coffee first so I'll wear them with my gardening leggings and see how long it takes before they wonder why I'm not dressed to go out. grin

This might be an American site (I’m in America right now) but if you google ‘I’m a delicate fucking flower socks’ several sites come up & I’ve found that American sites often ship to the U.K. at little cost.
I’d love to see your grandsons’ reaction grin

I misread the words on those socks and got them in the wrong order ... and then I wondered if davidh might wears them when he's with nice ladies. wink

Let's hope that those who are scared of this thread don't wander across to Mumsnet then littleannie. It'll frighten the living daylights out of them over there!

merlotgran Fri 22-Mar-19 21:22:57

Ooooh! Where can I get those socks, janea? grin

My adult DGSs would laugh their socks off if they saw me wearing those in the garden.

Chewbacca Fri 22-Mar-19 21:21:28

Did you know that the word "fuck" is derived from old English Law? It stands for "Fornication and Unlawful Carnal Knowledge"; hence FUCK.

Isn't Google a wonderful thing? grin

Gonegirl Fri 22-Mar-19 21:19:59

Why would they be scared littleannie?

Anything goes on this thread.

No one will get the least bit cross.

janeainsworth Fri 22-Mar-19 21:13:44

How many points for rude socks?

Littleannie Fri 22-Mar-19 21:08:48

Alima and Phoenix
I really can't believe that you find the f word acceptable. I find it offensive, and I am sure many people on this site feel the same, but are probably scared to say so.

I'm sure I've posted this before but nobody swears more than a fenland tractor driver.

When DH took over as farm manager I answered the door to a furious, red faced man who waved an unidentifiable piece of equipment in my face yelling, 'He'll have to get another fucker coz this fucking fucker's fucked!' grin

I soon got used to the vernacular.

Nico97 Fri 22-Mar-19 21:04:44

Phoenix your list of go to expletives reminded me of this very old rhyme:
Shit bugger arsehole piss cock fart
Somebody's stole me horse and cart
I don't give a bugger, I'll soon get another
Shit bugger arsehole piss cock fart !
grin grin

Anja Fri 22-Mar-19 21:01:45

I quite like follucks!

Alima Fri 22-Mar-19 20:39:37

Straight over ‘er ‘ead. Whoosh.

Jalima1108 Fri 22-Mar-19 20:13:41

I used to use sugar as an expletive - it is a satisfying mix of bugger and shit.

Jalima1108 Fri 22-Mar-19 20:10:26

Depends if its singular or pair I'd imagine.
Surely just one is a bollock?

So, if someone gets 'a bollocking' is that just with one bollock or both?

Jalima1108 Fri 22-Mar-19 20:08:14

nice women don’t swear
what about nice men?
DH swore twice today, once because he dropped something and once because someone started reversing as we were trying to exit a car park.
Basically, he's "quite nice!!

My pc crashed today and I told it that it was a 'fucking waste of money and was going back to bloody John Lewis' smile

And anyway, bloody is not swearing unless it's spelt 'bluddy'. I was told that when I was 7 by John.

phoenix Fri 22-Mar-19 20:03:20

Ah, but Alimah is it fucked, or bollocksed?

Alima Fri 22-Mar-19 19:42:00

That’s this thread fucked now.

phoenix Fri 22-Mar-19 19:33:13

shock

Gonegirl Fri 22-Mar-19 19:25:03

Don't mention another thread!!!!!

phoenix Fri 22-Mar-19 19:19:51

blush

But I may have redeemed myself on another thread (polishes halo) really evil grin

Gonegirl Fri 22-Mar-19 19:06:53

wink

Gonegirl Fri 22-Mar-19 19:06:30

That song is truly rude. shock [shock shock

The winner of today's Potty Mouth Award is...... Phoenix!

Her fault if this thread gets deleted. hmm

Wheniwasyourage Fri 22-Mar-19 18:42:46

Of course Chewbacca won't be barred - that was ART!

Surely Davidhs wasn't serious - I thought it must be a joke anyway.

Quite agree watermeadow (what a nice name by the way) about the horrible expression "potty-mouthed". It's just as bad as swearing IMO.

phoenix Fri 22-Mar-19 18:37:27

Thanks chewbacca!

My go-to string of expletives (when just one won't do) is:

Shit bugger arsehole, bugger wank poo.

It's not often that I have to deploy it, but when I do, I find it strangely satisfying!
