I do things...  Group: Members Posts: 7,809 Joined: 2-December 03 From: Napa, Ca Member No.: 1,413 Region Association: Northern California  |
I love to talk to people, don't you?
Sometimes people get excited and are happy to insert a wealth of profanity into their every sentence. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/barf.gif) You can't just stick you fingers in your ears or slide a bar of soap into their mouth. How can you tactfully say, " I like talking with you, but I don't appreciate the choice of language"? Help me with this sensitive matter. KT |

I don't cuss like a sailor... I cuss like a soldier. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif)
Seriously, though. Sometimes my mouth gets pretty foul, and sometimes I forget where I am and just talk like I'm out in the field, emplacing weapons on the perimeter. I *know* that profanity is a sign of a mind lazy/not creative enough to come up with other ways to say things... but I still do it. I appreciate it when someone says to me... "dude, enough with the F-word." -Rusty (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smoke.gif) |
