Out of the mouth flows.....??

I don't mean to sound "holier than thou" but swearing, cussing, use of profanity, rough language as I call it, irks me a lot.

I find that it just offends my ears when I hear them. I've tried to ignore this feeling but everytime I hear these utterances, they disturb me.

I used to use these words as well. I was rather generous with my sprinkles of s**t and h**k and the women I spent time with, were not the kind who actually used the f word in public although an occasional utterance by our male colleagues were tolerated, we don't usually find the f word used daily and was only "acceptable" among very good friends who were in great distress.

I don't think I am a prude, far from it, but I do associate the use of profanity with class. Am I snooty? If it means that I use less profanity, then yes.

There are some interesting articles that I came across that helped me understand this phenomena sweeping the world on how acceptable use of profanity has become and the only thing I can say is that it is common!

So, class again comes to play. I consider myself above common thus again reinforce my conviction of not using profanity and vulgar expletives to express myself.
