The secret to not having your kids swear is not reacting to it. Quietly I explained that “those words” were only to be used outside. No use telling them to not swear in front of Grandma and Grandpa, they were the worst offenders.
QOTD #1
Of course.
QOTD #2
Not enough snow, except for this year and it was easier (and safer) to just stay inside.
I had trouble with the casting curses course at Hogwarts so I rarely do.
My snow overalls are in the spare bedroom. I had to use them in January and they will stay there until I can safely put them away in late March. No use putting them up and needing to get them back out again.

‘Tis not your grammar (nor your indoor voice’s volume) about which she’s worried, young man, but rather your language.

Amazon sells a late fifties copy of Lifebouy (carbolic acid) soap for just such an occasion.

I have to admit a few choice words did come to mind over the last couple of hours,
in reaction to seeing this notice instead of my comics forums:
“This website is under heavy load (queue full)
We’re sorry, too many people are accessing this website at the same time. We’re working on this problem. Please try again later."
The words didn’t escape my lips, however….
mostly cos the thought will do, alone at 3 in the morning.
And also cos I don’t know how to pronounce ¿@&%! or @#$*&!

I know the words and I’m not afraid to use them.
Interesting thing about cussin’ . You can use more acceptable words like shoot!, darn! , sonofapup! and mean the exact same thing. But it is ok then.

Once every couple of years – seriously. But I have a pocketful of Shakespearian wonders I use when needed.

Of the seven words you can’t say on television there’s only one I don’t say.

@Tony. Not in mixed company, but yes. That’s why I drive with my hand hiding my month so people can’t read my lips.

Not here, no. Otherwise, GoComics would boot me and I wouldn’t be able to ask today’s…
