P.S. I like numpty as an alternative when virgin ears happen to be nearby.
Niagara
(10,434 posts)My previous word usage was much worse compared to fucko and so I can't repeat it here at all.
My main F-bomb syntax verbal usage just happens to start and continue the entire time when I'm driving. It does happen at other times but not as frequently as with driving.
For example, yesterday I got stuck behind a dump truck which was for awhile. These things have warnings not to get too close and they throw rocks at vehicles. Anyway, I was being tailgated by other drivers because of the dump truck.
On Valentine's Day I received a parking violation on the one way street that my client lives on. This street has a bizarre alternative parking cluster-fuck with dates and times happening as well. I had to write out a note what side of the street to park on for certain days of the week and I keep this reminder in my vehicle.
Yesterday, I went down this street 3 times to get a parking spot on the right hand side of the street to avoid a parking violation. This other car/driver was leaving the left side of the street simultaneously while I was trying to grab a spot on the right hand side. Of course this other driver was right on my ass and they were pissed off that I stopped to see if where I was going to park was safe and not in front of a residential driveway. I could see them in my rear view mirror yelling and flipping me off.
I don't know what wrong with these people. I'm only trying to obtain the correct parking space so I don't end up with another $40 parking violation.
So yeah, F whatevers fly out of my mouth when I'm driving frequently.
P.S. My client lives on a street with spectacular Victorian homes that are built very close together. Not every single home on this one way with alternative parking street has their own driveway, the driveways are a rare commodity so it makes street parking an absolute nightmare.

(22,551 posts)did you grow up in a household where you heard your folks swear frequently? Or did you pick it up in high school or college?
My dad used to curse a blue streak. His go-to was "Jesus, Mary and Joseph," which he barked loudly, quickly and angrily. As a child, I thought he was saying "Jesus Marion Joseph." I figured that was Jesus's middle name!

(10,434 posts)And my dad used all the profanities.
My mom is always horrified when I drop the f bomb so I try not to do that around her.
I don't swear in front of my clients, I do have a filter. My last client that I had asked me one day, "What words can I say in front of you, Niagara?" I let her know whatever she wanted to say was fine with me.
One day she was applying makeup to her face while looking in a mirror and she said, "I look like a fucking whore!". I couldn't help myself and I started laughing because it wasn't what I was expecting from someone who was 93 years young. This comment completely caught me off guard.

Niagara
(10,434 posts)I still haven't watched the series yet.
Now I'm thinking I shouldn't watch the series so that I don't pick up more profanity laced words.

(10,434 posts)I'm currently watching MASH on streaming.
I'll see if Happy Days is available to stream after I complete MASH.
Harker
(15,981 posts)I graduated high school and didn't see any of its last seven subsequent seasons, thus missing The Fonz jump the shark (the origin of the phrase.)
Niagara
(10,434 posts)I'm enjoying it. I don't think that I would have understood the themes as a child during the time that MASH was airing on television. I wasn't even born when it first aired in 1972.
I'll see what kind of good trouble I get into with Happy Days if it's available.
