Hahaaa, so did I, apparently. Could you fix that for me, or quote me cross-thread or something? I'm so confused!

I took the position*, when my kids were young, of saying that there wer no such things as "bad words" only inappropriate audiences. We went through a lot of discussion about who might not appreciate hearing what words. It did a couple of things, it took the power away from "naughty words" and it helped them consider how others might feel or think of them by the way they spoke.

Occasionally I'll drop the F bomb when driving and my son has made it clear that he doesn't like vulgar language so I try to respect that unless in the heat of driving or working. When he was under four I told him those were special work words and only to be used by carpenters and other tradesmen.

Now I wish I could remove 'like' from their vocabulary.

since he's been able to make it clear to you that he doesn't like vulgar language, and you've demonstrated the success of such clear communication, why don't you try the same with him?

Tell him you don't care for the way he uses "like" (however he/they is/are using it). Show them that respect for simple requests goes both ways.

just a thought.

The concept of "bad words" is weird. It can be justified for, say, insults like racial epithets, but how does a word stay "bad" when there's no such justification, and we don't even know the real etymology?

xoxoxoBruce · 02-05-2015, 12:21 AM

A word can't be bad unless everyone agrees it's bad. Not most people agree, it's not a majority rules thing, everyone. You know that ain't happening.

shit, piss, fuck, cunt, cocksucker, motherfucker & tits.

felch.

footfootfoot · 02-06-2015, 05:49 PM

Oh we talk about that a lot and catch each other using it. Maybe we should start a LIKE jar...

Yesterday we went shopping at BJ's, our local members only buying club type place (Costco, Sam's Club et al)

We are cruising down the aisle past some carpets all rolled up and standing in a corral and the inch says "That's just wrong." I turn and see one of the carpet rolls has collapsed and can't get what's 'just wrong' about it. Then he points to the sign under the carpets that says "Dream Shag"

Clearly "Big School" has paid off.

Surely he's still innocent; he doesn't know about rug burns, right?!?

I can only hope.

xoxoxoBruce · 02-17-2015, 03:23 AM

Probably knows about rug burns, but from driving his dinos and trucks around the living room rug, not what we perverts immediately think of.
