I believe swearing is fine as long as you are not swearing at people. Having said that, unnecessary, pointless and excessive usage of swear words in normal every day conversation becomes verbal pollution. There is a whole class of cursers who literally don’t know they are swearing, and it’s nauseating to be around such people. I don’t take any delight in adding the eff word five time is a sentence to make a point, to me the word loses its potency, the messages gets lost, and the sentence is left devalued. Besides, there are whole lot other ways of insulting someone and making sure not just their ears but their self feels offended without adding any sexual adjective and genital noun. It’s a skill, lol, requires a bit more creativity and imagination to achieve. I mean try making an insulting post without a single use of an abusive term and swear word in Pakistan Affairs, and I can guarantee you, and prissy old jiyala will throw a massive fit.

And speaking of swear words, even self censoring an eff word used as an adjective in a perfectly placed context can get you an infraction in this place. I mean, how f***ing stupid is that? I should’ve dished my discontentment in the Mod Free Month. But oh well…

Sorry Le Pak, I digress. I realise I’m not exactly answering your questions, am I? So to answer your questions, yes I don’t swear in front my parents, children and elders or in a professional set up. Strict army style eating manners were adopted in our home whilst growing up, and I still exercise those manners. I tend to find humour in most odd situations, and I think I have the ability to maintain calm and icy exterior even when in my head I’m going all ‘oh no you didn’t’. But generally speaking, there is so many much to manners than just watching your tongue for profanity and following any particular set of table manners.

Haha, thanks for the detailed reply. Agree with your last line.

Nice to hear honest replies :k:
