trumad: Women should not be swearing on DU...it's ‘just trashy!’

[csziggy]

92. Mom still lives what she tried to teach - she doesn't swear at all

No matter what we girls did. Of course, her grandfather was a Baptist preacher and her brother became one, too, so she had to watch what she said when she was growing up.

I'm sure as a Navy Nurse she was exposed to foul language, but she resisted its use.

I only ever heard her swear once - she slipped in the bathtub and reflexively said "Damn!" Since her bathroom was just off the Florida room that had been added on, all us kids heard her. She realized we had as soon as she came out and lectured us about how she had NOT meant to curse, and that she had sis NOT give us permission to do it. I don't balme her for cursing that day - she had a horrific bruise that took weeks to fade.

I learned to curse in college from my roommates the first year. I learned more creative words from my horse breeding business associates. My mastery of abusive language has been enhanced in my time on DU!
