Saying the “F” word

I can’t stand hearing it. It’s used far too often and inappropriately. There’s a few people at work that include it in some form in practically every sentence with zero discretion regarding the circumstances or audiences.

As far as I’m concerned, it’s a sign of a limited vocabulary and a lacking upbringing. Coarse words for coarse people.

The other night at dinner, while the waitress was serving us (a woman in her 50s) he kept dropping the F-bomb while describing his day at work. After she left, he kept using it in earshot of the family sitting next to us. I was embarrassed but then realized no one cared - it's become so part of our vocabulary every day now, there's no shock value any more.

It has almost no shock value anymore.

In the later it was used so much it almost seemed forced. It’s dropped casually in all kinds of YouTube videos where wouldn’t necessarily expect it, like videos on history or home repairs.

I had a coworker who every noun he spoke had the adjective "fucking" in front of it, everything was fucking this, fucking that. He would say things like. " I went to the fucking store to get some fucking cigarettes and the fucking store was out of my fucking brand, fucking pissed me off." It gets really tiresome listening to that all the time.

My father who wasn't good for much, gave me the good advice once, that no one will ever be impressed with how much you cuss. Saying fuck or fucking can have its time and place but everyday conversation isn't one of those places. Of course he cussed like a sailor but pretty much avoided using the word fuck, everything was God Damn this and God Damn that, often when referring to someone racially, God Damn N word, God Damn Spics. I rarely cuss, anything to be different from him and it was actually good advice.
