Its funnier when you’re speaking a language that is a minority language in your region, like immigrant families for example
they’re like, stop saying it.
Um…
so…
Nobody here speaks Cantonese or Taisahnese, y’all are the only ones that I speak it to, who the hell did I learn it from? 👀
I guess my parents did a pretty good job of not swearing in front of us when we were young. By the time we were teens they stopped pretending, but by that time we were old enough to understand when it was appropriate to swear.
The problem with little kids using curse words is that they often can’t understand the social situation. And the whole point of curse words is they’re attention grabbing. It’s like giving your little brat an air horn, but one you can’t even confiscate.
Edit: fixed typos
I always told my kid they can curse all they want, but they need to be aware of when they do it, because some people find it offensive. I told them I don’t care if they curse around me with their friends, or even when talking to me, but I also told them if they do it around their teachers, or other parents, will need to wear the consequences.
I don’t know why we prohibit fucking curse word, ever. How the fuck does it do anything to a kid if they say shit? Or fuck? Or damn?
They’re just fucking words.
And why the fuck are these words not appropriate anywhere? It’s fucking assinine.
Swearing in Quebec is very interesting, because it is based on items from the Roman Catholic Mass.
- Chalice
- Tabernacle
- Christ
- Host
I guess it makes some sense because Quebec was so thoroughly Catholic until the middle of the 20th century, so using sacred words in vain is shocking and appalling.
Listening to someone swear proficiently in Quebecois French is quite amusing, although other times it becomes boring and repetitive.
The odd thing is that there is no such swearing in France.
Yep, parents are human.
