Are you comfortable saying 'fuck' in front of your mother?

[Orrex]

Do tell.

[KitchenWitch]

1. Yes

And she is comfortable kicking my ass... :rofl:

Really, actually the f-bomb gets dropped quite frequently by both my mom and I.

[jakefrep]

2. No

That's the one word guaranteed to set her off.

[flvegan]

3. No.

I made a mistake today while I was tweaking her computer and I uttered "crap!" and was thankful for what I DIDN'T say.

In front of anyone else, I curse like a sailor.

[ccharles000]

4. no

[Lavender Brown]

5. Pppffft. My mom gets upset if I say damn.

[Lucian]

6. Fuck yeah.

[hippywife]

7. Not if she

beats me to it. :rofl:

[Orrex]

8. For me, it's sort of context-dependent

If I describe something as "fucked up," then that's generally okay. If I've just relayed a tale about someone who totally messed with me, and I concluded by saying that I'd told I'm to "fuck off," then that would be all right, too.

An occasional "fuck it" wouldn't likely upset her.

But I can't actually see telling her to fuck off, or anything like tha.

[littlebit]

9. Very comfortable

My mother has a mouth that would make most sailors blush.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

10. Yes

She says it sounds uneducated, but I had a prof with like 3 PhD's who cursed worse than me.

[Orrex]

12. Tell her that Charles Bukowski, Henry Miller, and William S. Burroughs were all fond of the word

And the deed, for that matter.

[JVS]

44. I'm not sure that Bukowski is the kind of figure to use to impress parents with what fine...

individuals you admire.

[Orrex]

50. Nonsense! He wrote from the heart and from the soul.

If that doesn't impress her, then she can go...

Nah, I can't say that!

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

59. My mom probably hasn't heard of any of them

[Orrex]

67. Then you have a perfect holiday gift for her

Get her copies of Naked Lunch and Tropic of Cancer.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

76. I already adopted a wolf family for her from Defenders of Wildlife

[Deja Q]

11. Saying or doing, I don't think so.

:P

[jeff30997]

17. Lol!

:rofl:

[achtung_circus]

51. So,

a kid walks into his parents' room to find them doing the deed. He is quite, quite upset. Father stops grunting, looks up and laughs, regains composure and says "nothing to worry about, son.... go to your room and I'll be in to talk to you in a half hour."

Well, 15 minutes later, father walks into his son's room to find him making the double-backed beast with his Grandmother. Father freaks. Son looks up and says "it's not so funny when it's your Mother, is is?"

I heard this from my girlfriend's son. She laughed, I guess I did after I saw her doing likewise.

[HopeFor2006]

13. Nope.

Not a chance.

[LeftyMom]

14. Sure. You should hear her...

:scared:

[Orrex]

15. Well, I admit that something told me that *you* wouldn't be shy about it

Call it a hunch!

:hug:

[LeftyMom]

16. Well, she's got like ten tattoos. She's no wilting flower.

:rofl:

[elshiva]

18. FUCK NO!

[harmonicon]

19. Yes.

I don't really think about it. I talk like a sailor around my parents.

However, I still don't smoke in front of them, even though they know that I smoke. It's weird. I think we'd have a better relationship if I could just sit and have a cigarette and talk to them after dinner at their house....

[Gormy Cuss]

20. Since I learned the word from her, it wasn't really an issue once I became an adult. n/t

[Aristus]

21. Dad? Yes. Mom? No.

n/t

[jeff30997]

22. Of course.

French-Canadians can say shit or fuck when they want to stay polite.It replaces the tons of

very offensive words we normally use.Words that are considered offensive in France are

also OK.:)

[achtung_circus]

52. comme

mon Christ du Tabernac?

[jeff30997]

66. Lol.

Yep,good example. :)

[u4ic]

84. Beat me to it!

:rofl:

[DBoon]

23. and go to school naked!

[mokawanis]

24. Fuck no

Never have and never will. I say fuck in front of my dad a lot but he doesn't care because he swears more than I do. My mom would be mortified.

[Forkboy]

25. I'd be comfortable saying it in front of the Pope

[Orrex]

26. Sure, but that doesn't really answer the question...

:evilgrin:

[Forkboy]

27. LOL....fair enough.

I say it in front of my mother with no hesitation. :)

[mopinko]

28. my kids sho nuf say it in front of me. but then

i sure say it plenty. i worked construction for a while when i was younger, and the guys used to like to see if they could make me flustered, so i always tried to beat them to the punch. once in a while someone would get "concerned."
i would tell them, "you know, i have heard all those word, said all those words, hell, i have even done most of those words. so, you can't scare me with that shit."

[undeterred]

29. My mother told my siblings and I to stop throwing around the f-word

one holiday. The f-word was fart. So no, we don't say fuck in front of mom. We say "asshole", though.

[ghostsofgiants]

30. Nope, I don't swear in front of my parents at all.

Which is weird, considering I'm a bit of a potty mouth elsewhere.

[emilyg]

31. Never.

[RevolutionaryActs]

32. Extremely.

We're a bunch of foul mouthed fuckers at our house. ;)

[sasquatch]

35. So that's your problem

:P

[Iggo]

33. Took 30 years for her to accept "shit" from me.

I don't think the word "fuck" will ever be acceptable.

[Adsos Letter]

34. Pretty much...

she died in 1983...

[redqueen]

36. Oh yeah. (nt)

[fizzgig]

37. no problem here

[Breeze54]

38. Sure am!!

She's been in heaven for 8 years now.

[KathieG]

39. Growing up, I was smacked across the face for saying the word damn...

over time I broke mom in...a "god damn it" here...an "asshole" there. I am now 37, mom is 75 and I can cuss like a sailor without incident...F-word included! Yay mom! :woohoo:

[Tripper11]

40. Oh yeah....

Although I do say it sparingly, but if the sentence warrants...fuck yeah!

[Drunken Irishman]

41. Of course.

My mom says fuck to me. Hell, I'd say fuck around my grandma, but she said it, as well.

I don't know why, but naughty language was never forbidden -- at least at the extreme level. Our family is pretty open and non-prudish.

Hell, there are times where I sarcastically tell her to fuck off, or she'll do the same.

I don't think we're normal. :(

[nomorenomore08]

42. Not really, although I have done it before.

My cursing around my parents is mostly limited to words like "damn," "hell," and maybe an occasional "shit" or "asshole." My parents don't say "fuck" around me either, unless they're quoting something (like my mom joking about the Palin-in-law's "fuckin' redneck" thing).

[Karl_Bonner_1982]

43. Yes, but definitely not "fuck you."

She gets into obscene temper tantrums all the time, so it would be hypocritical for her to scold me for saying it once in a while. But I try to keep the context pretty tasteful.

[Dora]

45. Everything she knows about cursing she learned from me.

It's true.

[MrsBrady]

46. my mother curses like a sailor

so...uhhh....yea.

[Unvanguard]

47. No, though she's becoming more and more comfortable saying it in front of me. n/t

[Heidi]

48. I'm not comfortable saying it to anyone.

I say it to myself occasionally as an expression of frustration, but otherwise, I'd rather not.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

49. More comfortable than saying it in front of my kids...

Does that make me weird?

[AngryAmish]

53. No and she is dead.

[NewJeffCT]

54. I hardly ever use expletives

and, even less so in front of my mom.

I probably use them way more on DU than I do in real life.

[wartrace]

55. I don't say or use that word at all.

It has no real meaning. It also is an indication of how immature the one saying it is. If you can't express yourself without cussing you need to grow up.

[old mark]

56. Mom has been dead for 25 years - she doesn't care anymore. nt

[Regret My New Name]

57. Depends on the context...

Things like "fucking aye", "what the fuck", "awww/ohhh fuck-sticks-n-doodle-whoppers-oh-dingos" are something that I don't think about. However, if it's sexual in context then I really don't wanna be talking about that around my mom... Also, telling her to fuck off (which I wouldn't do) probably wouldn't go over too well either. I know some think that's weird, but ehn, I think you're weird. :P Nahh, I'm kidding, but context is what matters since words are just words.

[terrya]

58. I'm uncomfortable swearing in front of my mother, period.

[texas1928]

60. Not really but I have and those few times I was sorely pissed off.

I would not do it in normal conversation.

[zanne]

61. I wouldn't be alive if I had said that in front of my mother. nt

[LaydeeBug]

62. jokingly yes. on the serious? NO.

But I value breathing. :)

stupid edit. stupid typo

[TZ]

63. Oh hell yes

My mom doesn't give a fuck about my language. When we get together to watch Skins games the language just flies....Of course I've gone bar hopping with my mom and played quarters and gotten drunk with her..so you know we have a different kind of relationship than many....:D

[peekaloo]

64. I miss my mom.

particularly this exchange from the end of a phone conversation years ago.

Mom: Well I hadn't heard from you in a long time and thought I'd check up on you.

Me: Sorry. I've been busy and don't like calling you late at night. (we lived two time zones apart).

Mom: Are you feeling ok?

Me: Yeah. Why do you ask?

Mom: Well we've been talking for over 30 minutes and you haven't used the word "fuck" once.

:blush:

[Tektonik]

65. Yes

Sometimes she'll tell me to hush, but most times it's ok if I use it sparingly.

Since she's become a high school teacher, my mom has gained much tolerance for curse words. :D

[mitchum]

68. Only in the context of "let's fuck"...otherwise it's just gratuitous

[EFerrari]

69. There's nothing I can't say in front of my mom and vice versa.

[woofless]

70. Well, she doesn't like it from behind......................

[Orrex]

88. That joke is abominable

And anyone who'd laugh at it is a monster.

I of course, did not laugh at all.


Nope. Not at all.

[dawgmom]

71. No.

Nor do I appreciate other people saying "fuck" in front of her.

(I should note that I am not shy with that word myself. I just know it makes her uncomfortable, and I don't use it in her presence, out of respect.)

[Swede]

72. No.

When the word slipped out,she'd let me know.

[Blue_In_AK]

73. My mother is deceased, but, no, I wouldn't have been.

We couldn't even say "damn" in front of her.

I'm much looser with my own kids. They can say whatever they want to in front of me. I'm not easily shocked.

[trof]

74. no

[tigereye]

75. good lord no!

:spank:


And I don't want my kid saying it, either. The problem is that a lot of folks think it's an adjective, verb and noun, and perfectly acceptable in the common vernacular. We saw a bunch of shirts at the Pitt-WVU game today that said PItt "fucking" Panthers, etc. :eyes: Classy.



Yes, I am an old fart.

[LibDemAlways]

77. No. She's 85 and I think she'd have a heart attack if

I dropped the "f" bomb in her presence.

[bigwillq]

78. Yes.

I don't do it often, and I warn her before I say it. She says it sometimes too.

[Kali]

79. no

my mother was what they used to call in the old days, "a lady" and you don't cuss in front of them. It's not that she would do or say anything, it was just something most people would clearly understand not to do.

I cuss too much.

[Mad_Dem_X]

80. Yes.

I'm 42. My mother knows I swear, and she couldn't care less.

[Robeson]

81. Who the fuck do you think I learned the word from?

[CaliforniaPeggy]

82. I am NOT comfortable saying it in front of my mom!

I don't say it at all around either her or my dad...

It was honestly years before I could even do garden-variety swearing around them at all, if you must know!:P

[jberryhill]

83. If you're going to talk the talk... /nt

[u4ic]

85. When she was alive, yes

She didn't like it, but it didn't stop me.

[luv_mykatz]

86. No.

Sometimes the word slips out, but I wouldn't say that I feel comfortable saying it around my mom. When I was growing up, it was the one swear word that she asked my dad not to use around our house.

I am not a prude about it. When I was going to high school the guys used to yell it at each other from opposite ends of the hallways, and it was often written in 5 foot high letters on some of the walls. My parents generation saw things differently than my generation did.

[MrSlayer]

87. Hell, I'm comfortable doing it in front of my mother.

I have a funny story along those lines that is probably best not told here.

[Bertha Venation]

89. Yeah. I stood on her grave and followed the word with "you."

Twenty years ago. Forgiveness heals.

[billyskank]

90. Yes, but egregious overuse will annoy her.

I am not so bad, but my brother swears like a trucker.

[onlyadream]

91. R U Kidding?

:nuke: NO.

She punished the crap out of me for saying crap once (this was back in the 70's).

[yy4me]

92. This old lady never said the word in her life. There are words

in my vocabulary that I use that express my degree of anger or frustration but I can't get that word out. My folks would have beaten the daylights out of me, I would have washed my kids mouth out with soap. Maybe it is a generational thing but that "F" work is too vulgar for me. I remember when Damn and Hell were on the list of no-no's. Also the little "S" word.

Now I use only a couple of choice ditties, not too vulgar but nasty enough and always directed to GWB and his sidekicks.

[Withywindle]

93. Yes, definitely.

She herself doesn't cuss much - it's an ESL thing, I think - but she knows me and my dad do, she's totally used to it.

[Inchworm]

94. No, but I do

:hi:
