Bonnie Posted January 5, 2009 Report Share Posted January 5, 2009 If I admit to past lives as being a long haul Truck driver, an Advertising Traffic Manager for 14 years, and a long traffic commuter...will that explain how I to can have a "Nautical" mouth.......I have since really really tried to tone it down, but they do slip out...and to those who have heard me "I'm sorry", I sometimes don't even realize they are there till its all said and done.... And saying "OOPS" is a bit to late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoleneK Posted January 5, 2009 Report Share Posted January 5, 2009 I'm not a swearer, but my boys knew if I did they were really in trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merryjo2003 Posted January 5, 2009 Report Share Posted January 5, 2009 Oh, don't even ask me. I worked in a maximum security jail for 14 years. I know every curse word that exists and very creative ways to use them all (and in several languages). Combinations, verbs adjectives, nouns. You'd be shocked. Since I've retired, I've really tried to tone it down. I chalk it up to "occupational hazard." It's not pretty, but I can make a sailor blush. My mom used to say, "Quit your da*% swearing, it sounds like he#@!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peglu Posted January 5, 2009 Report Share Posted January 5, 2009 How bout dag nab it. I use that a lot. But now that no kids at home, the real curses really come out. Frequently forget my manners when out in public. Shocks a few people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gator Posted January 5, 2009 Report Share Posted January 5, 2009 Bonnie and MerryJo, LOL sounds like we're all in the former "nautical" group. I still work with sailors and I swear they give the recruits a course in 4 letter words (and I don't mean "work") in bootcamp. It their parents ever knew what comes out of their mouths. I have toned down but every now and then I slip especially in traffic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
April W Posted January 5, 2009 Report Share Posted January 5, 2009 My husband and I were driving to Springfield Saturday with our 4 yo grand-daughter when we were stuck behind a car 'just sitting' at a 4-way stop. DH said "you can go anytime lady" GD said 'move outta the way moron.' We just looked at each other and laughed. Not sure who she got that from, but it could have been so much worse.

Guest Linda S Posted January 5, 2009 Report Share Posted January 5, 2009 Ah, if only I were so nice. I often say Foink, but when I'm really PO'd I let the f-bomb fly. Of course, I live alone, and there is only the good Lord to hear that I am being a bad, bad girl. When I'm just mildly frustrated, I somehow or another picked up my Uncle Ed's favorite -- My Glasses! No idea where that came from, but I say it a lot. Linda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftyfox Posted January 5, 2009 Report Share Posted January 5, 2009 There is no hope for me. I am an ex Army Sergeant, married to an ex-Navy Chief and have a son and son-in-law still in the Navy. No hope. But I do try to be nice. Just when I get out in the woods geocaching and the briars catch me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calicokat Posted January 6, 2009 Report Share Posted January 6, 2009 We've been laughing at 13 yr old dd who's on a "Holy Crowbars" kick! One of my favorites was born to replace one of my mom's - she used to say "What a pi**er" and we got her changed to "How incontenant (sp?)" For lent one year I gave up fussing at the cars around me when I drove -- MAN, that was a tough one! I'd rather give up chocolate!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
