I have recently started to notice how much profanity I use in my day to day conversation. Let’s just say I have a tendency to maintain a salty level of linguistic ability.
At the work site there are those that I maintain my respect for and never swear around. This is due to the fact I know they are religious or just don’t like foul language. Our staff consists of about 85 employees and I am in a position where I can get away with more shit than most. So, for the rest of the crew, and this is the CEO, President, Supervisor and everyone one else the air is blistered with colorful metaphors. I mean I start my day with either one of two coffee mugs, one that says “Eat a Bag of Dicks” or my personal favorite my bright yellow mug stating “I am a Fucking Ray of Sunshine.” Now, we are off to the races.
My personal swear word of choice is obviously Fuck. It is just so versatile. My standard comments, and this list can be found online and on many other job sites: What the fuck? What fucking dumbass came up with this? This is fucking stupid! Tell that fucktard to see me! Get your fucking ass doing something productive! Give me a fucking break! How the fuck do they expect us to do that fucking stupid shit?! Holy buttfucking shit Batman, that was a long fucking meeting!
You get the general idea. Most of the rebuttals aimed at me follow similar standards. I may sound like an asshole, But honestly, I only have a few that hate me. I know they hate me, fuck’em. Can’t please everyone. I once tried to “clean” my vocabulary many moons ago and the common responses after a period of time were: Are you Ok? Are you feeling alright? Is something up with you today? You got a tumor? To which I finally reverted and pulled fuck back in as every third word of my vocabulary. Maybe fourth word, sometimes I may actually have to use a real noun or verb.
I have even been told I talk in my sleep. I have been told I mumble such sayings as: You are a fucking idiot. I am going to kick your fucking ass. That is the stupidist fucking shit I have ever fucking heard. Apparently my work comes home with me whether I like it or not.
In going back and looking at some of my comments and blogs I notice I have splattered fuck all over the place. I sincerely hope no one is offended. If so simply ignore me or let me know and we can discuss.
I have read two different theories on excessive use of profanity. One states that excessive use of profanity is a sign of a limited vocabulary. I have written three fucking college textbooks on technology usage. So fuck these ass monkeys. The other theory states it is the sign of brilliance or high IQ. I have never been tested and have no idea about my intellect level. But, I suppose I will stick with theory two. Not for vanity reasons, but because I know my vocabulary is pretty stout.
I am on other social media. Facebook is a good example. I tend to be another person on Facebook. I very rarely swear on other public mediums. SG is where I can be myself, say what I am really thinking about and engage in topics in which I have a true interest.
So, do you have a fucking potty mouth? I know I fucking do. Does your job site resemble mine or so uptight that everyone is afraid to express themselves in a manner they truly want? I know I am fortunate to be where I am currently employed. I have been on the other side of that fence.
So, as always, I look forward to hearing from you. Feel free to share any thoughts on the subject even if you think I should clean my shit up. I love all replies. Take care and have a fucking fantastic weekend.
