Right, so by using your rationale... slang words are disrespectful? Bad manners? So if you said 'dough' rather than money this would be disrespectful, bad manners?

Bastard... a word in itself that suddenly one day became a profanity. Profanity is part of our language. It is savoured by millions of us every day. Why is it offensive?

My old friend of 15 years just told me that he couldn't talk to me with his dad around because I cuss too much. He said something similar a while back about his old lady, but I didn't think too much about it then. I'm like WTF man.....why do you hit me up if you are around these people that are offended by the way I talk (we're using Nextels BTW so everyone can hear the conversation unless you put it on private)?That SHIT is just FUCKED up. I mean.......just because I say FUCK and SHIT and PUSSY alot doesn't make me a bad person. How the FUCK am I supposed to know who he is around?

I agree, i never got on well with my friends families... even now my gf's family and I don't talk. they come to my house to see her and the kids... I come up here to talk to you guys.

It's not just about my choice of words, it's also what I choose to talk about they don't like. I'm an out and out truth teller, and i never hold with bullshit. Which is why a lot of the time, I'm better off just keeping my mouth closed and stay out of their way. fighting with grandad wouldn't look good to the kids.
