Why the Foul language?

I've noticed recently a plethora of bad language on AVFTT which some posters use, probably to make themselves look hard or more masculine (lol).

If you would you use that kind of language in public, in front of women and children you didn't know, then fair enough I suppose.

If not, then grow up and show some decency and respect.

There is a time and a place but it's not the worst thing in the world. My guess is that not many under 10s or genteel lady folk read this board so not too much of a problem.

I just think it’s a football forum and we’re all adults. Swearing is very expressive, adds to our language, is often humorous and reflects how we would communicate in every day life in the pub / at the game.

Not me, I don’t drink and sleep in the west stand.🤣🤣
 
Can’t say I’ve noticed any increase and I’ve been on here quite a while now. It’s always worse after a defeat. Can always skip the board for a couple of days until folk calm down.

On a personal note, and I know we’re not quite into New Year Resolution territory yet, but I’m going to make a conscious effort to swear less from 2022.
 
Can’t beat a good swear word, it’s become common place in the English language I’m afraid.

What have women and children got to do with this?
 
Classical literature is full of foul language...most women i know arent shy about using 4 letter expletives... Have you ever heard the way kids talk with each other on Xbox ?... As for 'people who havent got a sufficient command of English to use alternatives' .. this is a football message board, not a meeting with the queen. 😂

Where ignorance is bliss, it’s folly to be wise.😉
 
And no one can deny you’re one of the tories village idiots. They’re laughing at you.

I always think that expletives are used mainly by people who haven’t got a sufficient command of English to use alternatives. And it is also a verbal substitute for “ If you can’t fight, wear a big hat”

This Christmas period I’ve been trying out a myriad of swear words on any children I see.
It makes me feel very masculine and particularly so when I’m draped across my private number plated penile extension.

I find it’s an interesting dichotomy- swearing at children and hearing their replies.
Is profanity in their nature or nurtured?

So far I’m finding the lesser educated ones are less florid in their swear responses. Particularly babies who appear to be downright wank at it 👍

Are you swearing at children just to test the reaction? Or is that just an excuse when really your nefarious purpose is to learn new ways of insulting people without them being aware of it.😉

Perhaps he's not hard, but he almost certainly is very honest

An interesting bit of research for you….HERE


"In three studies, we explored the relationship between profanity and honesty. We examined profanity and honesty first with profanity behavior and lying on a scale in the lab (Study 1; N = 276), then with a linguistic analysis of real-life social interactions on Facebook (Study 2; N = 73,789), and finally with profanity and integrity indexes for the aggregate level of U.S. states (Study 3; N = 50 states). We found a consistent positive relationship between profanity and honesty; profanity was associated with less lying and deception at the individual level, and with higher integrity at the society level."

As the saying goes.... I'd never trust a man who doesn't swear😉

My children would swear right back at you, and probably teach you a few new words youve never heard before 🤣🤣

Which begs the questions, do you:
A. Not drink but you do sleep in the West Stand?
B. You do both but neither in the West Stand? Or,
C. As per (B) but you scornfully believe that that is how people who do go in the West Stand spend their time there?

A. I should qualify my reply as I don’t drink alcohol, anywhere. As for the west stand I try to stay awake in there, except when I am bored into sleeping when sideways and backwards endless tip tapping drives me to sleep.😉

I should have also added, I refrain from alcohol, not from any idealogical or moral standpoint, I just don’t like the taste.
 
The F word is genuinely my favourite word, though I acknowledge that there are circumstances where it's use should be considered.

It's so versatile.

It has that effect, it also, in my experience, causes one to lose control of one ability to converse in English. Most people I have met, once they have over imbibed seem to speak a language called gibberish.🤣🤣
