I laughed and laughed when he said this, I'm way better than I use to be. I can even be in polite company and not udder one expletive. However, at home with the tv on, Katy bar the door or when discussing politics with people, I'm bad. I'm from the 60's man, I was in the Navy and lived in New Orleans for 40+ years, I say good luck with that.

I do have Jesus in my heart, and I beg for forgiveness.

God is good, all the time.

Have been working more diligently to clean up my language. It's like pushing a big rock uphill, given how I was raised (let's just say "standard English" is my second language but my mother tongue was $!#(@#!!!).

One of my oft-prayed prayers is that God would help me as he helped Isaiah---can't quote the Scripture in a secular thread but I hope just as the angel put a coal from God's altar on Isaiah's lips to fix his "unclean lips" and "purge his sin" so that God could use him, so He will do for me.

Try spelling it phuck! Second hubby was biker and a painter - every other word started with 'F". My sister, being the mouth of the family, did a 5 minute monologue one day (for the edification of her co-workers) on how to pronounce that very word. It all depended on tone of voice and inflection. Had all of us practically rolling on the floor laughing.

Not just a navy squid, but a squid in the middle of Marine grunts, then add being a navy Chief Petty Officer.....well F*^&$^%)(*&@#^%&^$%*)*$(&(%*&^(*)+(*&%^% and then some. In my family we had Momma words the kids could use and POPPA words they were not allowed to use. Though I am getting better, I can still "F" bomb with the best of them.

On a side note: While with a Marine infantry battalion (about 1,000 Marine grunts), I had to teach a new medical officer in my battalion how to curse. He complained that his Marine patients were not listening to him when he gave them medical instructions. I explained that he was failing to use the proper predatory phrase "F*CK". I explained that it was a command prompt for "Pay F*CKing attention you dipstick!" The next day he came back to me. "OMG....IT WORKED!!" I was rolling on the floor laughing my arse off. That's a true story.

What really got me to start working on this was when I had the podcast and was doing live interviews occasionally on other sites.

I started practicing in front of a mirror working both on not going "uhmmmmmmm" (that's a real killer on air) and/or saying f....king s...t or other unfortunate word choices on air.

I mean these days in podcasts I don't think it is illegal or anything but to me it sounds crude and impolite under most circumstances.

It helps that I didn't grow up speaking that way and my parents didn't either so I don't have that "track" deep in my brain, it was a learned speech pattern as an adult and what is learned can be unlearned, mostly until a cat jumps on me when I typing!

Old habits do die hard! Why, I almost said ‘Gosh‘ a few weeks ago!! ;). Having said that, other’s language is not my issue. That’s between you, your SO, and God. I can deal :)

I know you have to watch what you say around the little guys . I was visiting with my grand kids the other day when the oldest (5)in the middle of showing me his new toy he had gotten asked me PAPA whats a F%$ing A$$hole ? My reply was I'd have to ask his mommy.
Red faced she explained to me that it was the neighbor..:)

My DH never heard me say a cuss word until I was in my thirties...we started dating at fifteen. After we became self-employed, it took about five years but eventually it happened. Running a business can do that to you. DH can cuss with the best of them and does but he's not wild about hearing it come out of my mouth. He use to beg me to let him hear me say one cuss word lol. With the grands around all the time, I'm trying to clean up my act.

Replacing a bunch of my PIA customers helped.

Well...

Like I always say, there ain’t nothing like a well placed F word... unless it’s a rarely used, but also well place C word. I have a stellar vocabulary which can shred a victim in seconds.

:)

I’d give examples but it doesn’t go well with my angelic avatar, curly blond hair, and reputation.

Talk is cheap
I curbed my tongue a while ago, but sometimes, especially as of late, it just slips out. And when I am alone in my vehicle, with all of the idiot drivers who must get their license out of a gumball machine, it really is vulgar...than I ask God to forgive me, sincerely. He knows it is one of the areas I am having trouble with, in these times.
