Hilarious.
I too love the f-bomb, ‘For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge. Don’t worry about baby uttering it as his or her first word. I have a whole circle of friends at my home constantly saying fuck. My children never picked up on it, 3 kids. Not one of them has ever uttered it, (not that iv’e heard). I use it when needed around my kids. They know whats appropriate and not. Like not at church or around other peoples kids, shopping etc… Be selective around little ones. Be vulgar as hell when you need to. Fuck all the fuckers that don’t like the word its here to stay.

I am delighted that you have had this revelation. It is never too late in life to learn something.

I have never been a fan of swearing and always thought it made a woman sound fairly trashy. I didn’t grow up hearing it in my home as a child. Fortunately neither did my husband so that is how it went in our home and around our children too.

I am well aware that times have changed and apparently it is much more acceptable to hear the “f” bomb used quite frequently by those of either sex. However, the decision to swear or not to swear is always easy for me if I ask myself “How would it make me feel if I heard that language coming from my mother’s mouth or my child’s mouth or, heaven forbid, my grandchild’s mouth?”

In any case, I believe one can make his point without using swear words. Try dazzling folks instead by making use of your thesaurus and impress them with words for which they have to look up the meaning.

I agree! Also, a well-timed F-bomb has so much more effect if it’s not part of a fusillade.

HEllo Nicloe ~ I am so happy to hear you have decided to curb that potty mouth! I wrote aa rebuttle on one of your blogs about such misuse of the English language a few months back as it disgusted me, you are such an inspiration yet you felt it necessary to express yourself in such a vulgar manner ( at least in my opinion). I am no prude …I too had a potty MOUTH before I had baby! I was a rocking successful sinlge woman, it worked for me at the time but once my marriage and my maternal instinct hit and pregnancy was around the corner I somehow found the need to stop cussing, okay I still cuss but definately not as much as the in past. One noticable change : I must say I do feel better and people seem to respect me more, but hey that was then and this is now and I applaud you ! Congats on the baby ! Much success to you!

I made the same vow when my kids were on the way. I was married to a sailor though, and I repeatedly made a NY resolution to get profanity out of my vocabulary. It’s not all gone, but I find it absolutely hysterical that people around me, coworkers, friends, cover their mouths when they accidentally let out a bleepable around me now. Like I’m Mother Teresa or something. I like it though. When I feel one coming, I just make a sound, like a grunt…like “What the….(grrrr).” Your mileage may vary with that. Good Luck!

Here’s what someone from the South has to offer for replacements (sort of):
Cheese and Rice
Shut the front door
Son of a biscuit

just to name a few…
