Son of a bad word

Paul in Cannon Beach

So whats your favorite swear word?

Mine is probably "crap".

That's what I said when I realized I hit 2500 posts without even noticing it.

What's yours?

That's what I said when I realized Paul was posting at 10pm (CST).

"Dang It!"
And my oldest son always answers: "Yes Dad?"

PICB x;-)

Unfortunately my favorite is the abbreviation of excrement. Takes me back to the good old days in the beef business where the smell was part of the allure...

For some reason today I am against men...
So my favorite swear word for the day is a combination:
Sons of B#t$ches
That way I can swear about all men and not just one.

Well, this thread has taken off nicely. Three of the 5 responses have been directed towards Paul. Good Job Guys!

HRinGA

lately it's been he@@ and da**-it.

I cussed in front of my 8 yr old yesterday and she promptly informed me she did not like it. It was an accident; I burned my finger on the stove and it just came out!

Where is our guy that lives in the land of 10,000 swear words....I'm sure he could shed some light on the subject for us.

joannie

You know, we haven't heard from Larry since he accepted the Mr. HR Forum crown. He must be in the land of 10,000 press interviews.

I taught myself to say, "CUSSWORD!" when my children were small. It stuck.

In case you are wondering, yes, I do get some strange looks and comments. The strangest comment I ever got though was from my mother-in-law. She asked me if I didn't think it was just as bad as saying the actual word. I somehow just shook my head no and managed not remind her of how frequently she says, "Darn!"

My favorite fake cuss words are "GOT DANDRUFF!" followed by "Some of it ITCHES!"

Or "Firetruckin'" as in "Move your firetruckin' bike out of the driveway!"

Anyone ever try catching a dam fish?

I sometimes yell out "God... Bless America!!"

although it is usually thru clenched teeth...

drehil

That is too funny....I say that too!! My kids know to get out of my way when I pull the "God..Bless America" card out!!

My husband has a potty mouth. He works in the welding supplies industry and evidently swearing is not a big deal at work...

So, my children have picked up some interesting language. I've explained to them that grownups are allowed to say some words that children aren't, and have used soap on many occasions when the boys use those words. Even made my husband eat soap in front of them once.

The soap works, on the kids anyway. At first they thought it was funny, but eventually learned they didn't like the taste.

I've also told my children that they should replace any naughty or sassy words with the word "soap." They are not allowed to say stupid, idiot, ugly, and other hurtful words. So now my 5 year old says "you are soap!" and laughs hysterically.

Better than the alternative, I guess.

I hate to admit it, but I use "GD" a lot, mostly muttered under my breath. Love "got dandruff" as an alternative.

joannie

Since you brought up husbands, mine uses the phrase "Well, F*$% me to tears" a lot, which generally makes me laugh until I'm in tears.

HRQ

That made me laugh. I hope I don't slip, and my children start saying that.

Well, soap me to tears!

Paul in Cannon Beach

I dont cuss as a general rule. The only phrase I use that is close is "crap".

I also like "kickass" as an adjective. I told our pastor that we should advertise on our church sign that we are a "kickass church".

Paul in Cannon Beach

I just remembered that I did once call someone a "dumbass" on another HR forum.

That was probably out of line.

HRQ

Both dumb and ass are violations in my house. After soaping your mouth, I would have made you say "soap-soap."

HRQ

So did he/she go for it?

Paul in Cannon Beach

He. Nope. Maybe I try " a kick soap church!"

HRQ

Well. Then. Maybe you try that "and" . Let me know, - if anyone.

x:D

Paul in Cannon Beach

You make fun my talking?

Ever see the SNL episode where the three guests of a talk show are Tonto, Frankenstein and a caveman? You just reminded me of that.

I'm not going to pretend that I don't do my fair share of swearing, although I'm fairly adept at avoiding it at work. I did screw up in a meeting with our attorney last week and referred to the plaintiff's attorney as a "douchebag".

That's kinda like soap, if you think about it.

HRQ

Not only did you just make me laugh out loud, now I keep smiling and chuckling to myself.

And maybe the guy IS a soap-bag.

HRinGA

I also sometimes say "gee monetti" (pronounced monettee)

I have no idea how to spell it. I picked it up from my husband. I have no idea where he got it, either.

I also like to say "da#n skippy!"

Come to think if it, I guess I like to cuss a lot!

HRQ

Soap-skippy!

I only heard a snippet on the radio this AM, but did anyone hear about Sally Fields' comment at the Emmys? I believe it involved her use of the words "Gsoap-Dsoap" and I don't mean "got dandruff."

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 09-17-07 AT 09:42PM (CST)[/font][br][br]I recently called someone a "jer#-off." Does that count? I thought that was nicer than my first choice of "toxic b@stard," but perhaps my standards are too low.

Edit: Hey, it turns out that the number symbol plus an "o" makes "d'oh!". Guess that's some sort of sign that I shoudn't "faux curse" online.
