When I was growing up, there was NO cussing in our house.
....that's right, zero, zilch, nadda....
Not only was there none at home, we never expected to hear it out in public either and we almost never did.
People who were raised right and had manners and self respect, simply didn't do it.
I began to hear the rare word in Junior High School when all the schools mixed together and the rough-house people would fight and argue and sometimes.... cuss.... while they did it.
So eventually I knew the words, even though I wasn't taught them at home
Through the years, I didn't choose to use them myself, with the rare minor one when in the company of a few very close friends and then, only being funny, which actually was funny, because they knew I normally didn't and weren't expecting it.
Never in public or around strangers though and NEVER the really bad ones.
I WAS raised right and have manners ya know. 😇
In the past few years, I have begun to cuss more, but only when I am alone. I don't know why. I sometimes wonder if my mind is already beginning to slip as I turn into someone I never was before, the old "brain decline"
I find I am more likely to do it when I have a frustrating work day. Among other things, I take customer service phone calls for billing where of course I can't say what I really think when customers are being idiots.
looooonnnggg siiiigggghhhh
After the call though, I'm more truthful about what I think and I say it out loud to the universe.
Sometimes afterwards.... it makes me laugh ! 😄
So.... do I judge you when cuss in your posts....of course not... well... ok, maybe a little. LOL.... Just kidding, I don't blame other people for me exposing myself to your stuff and if you post interesting things, I still read you. I know it means a lot to you to know that.
I'm funny.... right ?
Hope you are all doing well and that your hearts are happy.
