Re: Self-censoring swearing?

[personal profile] khronos_keeper 2013-11-10 12:34 am (UTC)(link)
For where I grew up, if you swore, then you sounded like you had no class, i.e. breeding. One of the worst things you could do (and remain within the boundaries of "polite company") is swear in the wrong context.

Even saying something like "fricking" in front of your grandparents is seen as a no-no.

Basically the substitutes make it okay to say in polite company without being judged as hard as full out swearing. Saying, "I was waiting in that line for 10 fricking minutes" is more okay than saying, "I was waiting in that line for 10 fucking minutes."

It goes back to the earlier settlers. idk, but it feels pretty bad to have a whole room of people go :O at you for having said "fuck".
